Here it is...2007 and I receive a collection notice in the mail from 2004...to say the least I was not pleased. Mind you...it wasn't a huge amount ($210 only) however, I certainly didn't feel like it was something I was responsible for. To make a long story short: I live in an apartment before I got married and bought a house...and apparently (3 years later) I didn't give my 2 weeks notice. As frustrated as I was, I agreed to pay it as long as the collection company gave me a signed letter stating that if I pay the balance, it will not show up on my credit report. Lord in Heaven guess what happened next?!?! You guessed it! I signed up today for myfico and looked at my CR...and there it was. So...I immediately E-mailed this collection company and explained to them what was going on...do I have any other options? (Yes, I still have the letter...somewhere)
