Repairing FICO score but not sure where to start. HELP PLEASE!!

Hello All,

 

Like most young adults - I opened up too many CC's and didn't have enough income coming in to pay off my debt. Long story short 4 years later I am a recent college graduate with a decent paying jobs 31k per year. I am in a better position to pay off of my debt but I am unsure how or even where to start. Any responses will be helpful. Thanks in Advance

I Below find my the current debt that is listed on my credit report:

 

Discover Card

Date opened: 1/2008

Balance: $1,088

Past Due Amount: $842

Account is Charged Off

 

US Dept of Ed

Date Opened: 5/2010

Balance: $214

Account is in Good Standing

 

CitiBank
Date openedL 1/2008

Balance: $2,014

Past Due Amount: $1714

Account is Charged Off

 

Capt One

Date opened 1/2008

Balance: $1110
Account is Charged Off - Also a judgement is placed on this account

 

Macys

Date opened: 1/2008

Balance: 226

Account is Charged off

 


I have two items in Collection - Looks like both are from AT&t but I've only ever had one AT&T account

 

At&t mobility

Balance: $167

 

At&t mobility

Balance: $143

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction. My total debt is $4,438. Can I just pay them all off now and start over? Once these debts are paid - is there a process to get them deleted off of my credit report? Any advice will be useful.

 

Thanks So Much in Advance!

Like you I'm new and have found this thread resourceful to get some footing:  http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/What-Steps-Do-I-Take-Do-I-DV-PFD/td-p/337142

 

I'd check your state's SOLs before sending out DVs/PTDs.  Maybe look in to your bank's secure card options to kick start some positive reporting on your CRs.
