Verizon Wireless Firat GW Attempt Unsuccessful

So I have a paid Version Wireless collections account showing on my credit. Long story short I opened a 2nd account for my brother since I get a great discount. Fast forward 10 years later, he fell on hard times and account went to collections. He eventually paid collections but this was way before I found this site. So I wrote a goodwill letter and emailed higher ups within the company. I got a call back the same day stating they cant remove it unless it was a mistake on their part. I was so mad because I know they can do it! What should I do next? Keep sending off letters and emailing execs? I even emailed the president of Verizon Wireless Surely someone over there at the authority to remove it.

If its Verizon showing on your report then continue GW letters to them at once a month, they eventually will get tired of getting the letters and acquiesce. If its a CA then you have to mail the letters to the CA. GW letters always go to who is reporting the item.
