Are you using firefox or IE? The post ran together too much to decipher what was posted.

If you are using firefox, look down at the bottom of the message box when you are typing and look for "Automatically convert carriage returns to HTML line breaks", make sure that is checked.

You can always use "preview post" to see if it is working.

Now, with that out of the way.

If you haven't read the stickied threads at the top of the forum, I suggest you start there. Some of them you can get to by clicking the links in my signature.

Next, if you haven't already, I suggest you pull your free annual reports, as they will have much more detailed information, including the dates that are important.

Then post back with what negative accounts you have, who is reporting them, what the DOFD, DOLA, and SOL is, if they are paid or unpaid.

For medical debts, indicate that the account is medical in nature. Also, see link in my signature regarding medical debts.
