Hi I have a question. I had a Cingular wireless account in 2003 before they merged with AT&T. I failed to pay the bill and it went to collections. In 2007 I tried to open an ATT account and they said I owed them money, which turned out to be the Cingular account coming back to haunt me.  Its now 9 years later and the collection has dropped off my report. I'm wondering if it would be possible to go back to AT&T and try again. Has anyone here ever been successful going back to ATT after a collection??  I'd hate to waste a HP just to be rejected again. Thanks in advance.
