I didn't PFD anyone - except for Midland, but I'm going to send them another DV letter that quotes the Codes and Case Law they've violated and what they're supposed to give me or stop attempting to collect a debt.
I'm prepared to PFD these CA and Verizon, but I haven't got that response yet. For Verizon, I've been emailing the California head - Tim McCallion, in the Thousand Oaks Office - I haven't heard a response, but I'll be send a CMRRR letter tomorrow to get them off.
It's such a grueling process, but to get two or three derogs off (I can't the Paid COs deleted or GW'd off, but they're all 2 years old as of next month, so I can presume their relevance in the FICO pre-08, will be lessened) I'll see some score bumps over the next two to three months.
