seriously... where do I start?

I have several collections...NCO, Aargon, Pinnacle, Midland, to name a few. I hear those are the worst. Should I DV first, PFD, and if DV, do I DV the OC or the CA? My SOL is 6 years and I'm at five... so i'm nervous about being sued. the amounts range from $100-$1300.
 
I have all of the money now to pay everything off but I want it off of my CR.

Ok, first thing you should do is dispute any inaccuracies. Have you done that?

Re: seriously... where do I start?

I know, I know. I need to relax. It's just that i've been reading this forum over and over and I don't know what the best thing to do is.
 
I have disputed only CA's that were posted for the same item b/c they were resold. Those were fixed. I haven't disputed items like OC's that were CO's listing the wrong date opened. But, what I want to know is... do I dispute everything? I live in another state from where the debt occurred but the original state was Nevada and the SOL is 6 years and right now I'm at 5 and I really don't want to get sued.
 
I was just given a sum of money to pay this all off so I'm ready to start getting this fixed.

I'm in Nevada and the SOL is 4 years if it's open ended (CC's)

Your SOL is where you currently reside.

Well there are some restrictions on that but in general it's where you reside. In the OP's case it's where he lives now.

It's the same in Florida? 4 years for credit cards? If so, then I won't feel so bad about PFD'ing. Hey... how did you know Florida?? Anyways, now that i have the money, I am tempted to just pay and get it all over with b/c I don't feel like taking months to wait on PFD letters. But - that is what I should do, right? PFD....

When I was doing PFDs it was pretty quick. It takes time to have them come off your CR if you wait for the CAs but if you get the delete letter from them you can dispute it with the CRAs, send proof of your payment and the delete letter and they will remove it.
