After reading your responses, I went back and found my credit report from TU!
There are three dates listed on the report:
Date placed for collection 2/2008
Date Updated 11/2009
Estimated date to be removed 10/2011
I received my deletion letter 1/18/2010
I just feel like sending the DV letter is going to give them some room to place thi back on my credit, I'm so anxious now.
I can't take the pressure!
