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 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

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.
