Always assumed that my credit was un-fixable, but after reading through the forums here I'd like to give it a shot. I pulled my EQ report and there are several items listed in a couple different categories. I've been wading through the PFD / DV posts, but I'm not sure I have a solid path to follow. Maybe the community at large can point me in the right direction. I'll list what was found in the report:

| Comments: | Paid collection |
Not really sure why this is on my report unless they are reporting a late payment or something. I currently have service with this utility company and no payment problems.

Again, not sure what's up with AT&T. I have current service with them and nothing shows on my account as past due. I cannot fathom a situation in which I racked up almost $2,000 in debt with a phone company over the last 6 years.

I have never had a Comcast account. Ever. Not sure where this is coming from.

I have no idea who these guys are or why they think I owe them almost $2,000.
It's entirely possible that some, if not all, of these debts are legitimate. Where can I go from here? Is it worth it to dispute ones that are so old that I can't remember if I actually had an account with them? Should I just try to negotiate a settlement amount?
I have gotten a handle on paying current bills and keeping up on things like car loans and my _one_ credit card. Now it's time to fix my past.
Thanks for any help...

I think you should probably edit your post and take your name out. On the subject of your baddies, from what I read here in the forums, sounds like you need to start with some DV letters but I'll let the credit pros handle this one.
