Wondering at next steps after a few months or repair

Hello Everyone. I have read this forum for awhile and when I first looked into getting my credit in shape in October, found some very helpful threads. In October I started with a credit score of around 510, but I took the time to dispute some information that wasn't correct and actually was able to get almost every derogatory item removed from my Experian and Trans reports. Equifax removed a few, but really kept most. Now I am looking at next steps for what i have remaining:

 

Equifax shows 2 old PSNC collection accounts ( energy accounts) each around 250. I paid one off last month and hope to pay the other this month, but the one I paid is still showing unpaid?

1 old repossession from 2008 with NorthState Acceptance ( is there anything I can do with this one?)

1 collection from Amcol that I have disputed with from day one with no response. I have even contacted them and they have refused to respond 

 

Currently my score went from 510 to 3/16: 647 trans  683 experian 583 equifax

 

I am very happy with the steps taken so far and how my score has grown and now I know that I have to take credit very seriously because something small can really effect you for years to come

A repo from 2008 should have fallen off by now. Is it a repo and supsequent charge off or a redeemed repo?

Norman I am not sure of the differences, but it was a car that was repoed and the agency reporting is the orignal finance company?

Did you redeem the repo or did they keep the car?

They kept the car, it went to auction and I was told the auction covered what was due as I only had about 12 payments left.
