Question about US Cellular

Both of these accounts are listed in my Collection Items section of the credit report.  I did have a US Cellular account while I was living in Kansas, but the latest I would have had the account active would have been 08-2002.  I moved to a different city during the summer of 2002 and went with Sprint.  I have not had any contracts or contacts with US Cellular since 2002.  Should I dispute the first item (account one) as not mine?  I am for certain I did not open an account in 12-2006 (I moved to Arizona in 06-2003 and this is a midwest based cell phone company).  Also, what should I do about the second item (account two)?  I am most certain that it is past the SOL (Kansas is 5 years for written contracts), but the date open (which is grossly incorrect - service had been cancelled for almost a year at that point) as appears on the report still falls within the SOL.  Would a DV letter require the creditor to show when the account truly went deliquent?  I guess I'm just not sure where to start . . . any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks - Cathleen

I don't understand the 2 colors that you are using for CRA  reports
 
Is 1 reporting OC  and another a CA??
 
Im not sure if this is an open account or contract
 
I would dispute with all CRAs  as not mine.
 
see if they drop.

Re: Question about US Cellular

The two colors are for two different entries on my credit report - one account number (blue) is reported on all three reports - but I am positive I did not have service with this company during the times they are reporting. The other one appears to be more likely to be mine, but the dates are wrong. I will try to dispute as not mine.
