Hello all, I am another 28yold statistic who has managed to ruin all credibility based on ignorance, mismanagement, and backfiring idea to open lines of credit for the purpose of problem solving. When I leased my car in ‘05 my credit score was 740 I had a few oops in ‘07 but was ok unitl ‘09. In 2011 its my goal to devise a comeback plan. Please please help!
Ideally, I could pay all of these balances and this is something I am definitely working on but I’d be appreciative of any and all thoughts and suggestions on what I have presented and how to best proceed as I work towards rebuilding my credit.

1. Does closed by creditor count as a charge off? What effect do the closed accounts with 0 balance have on my credit?
2. What affect if any, does paying on closed accounts (chase 1&2 and Citi 1&2) make. They are still accruing interest at 5% Chase, 9% citi. I’m thinking it may make more sense to pay off CapitalOne which is still open but I may be wrong.
3. I plan to pay off the balances of Chase2, Express, Nordstoms by February. Would it make sense to do PFD letter or goodwill letter for any lates since they are in 09 and after adding 7 years ‘16 sounds so long to wait for these things to leave my credit report.
4. Toyota Motor is reporting twice. In the first account Ex and Eq report the same delinquencies. TU reports a month later, giving me a 30 day late in 6/07.Does this have a significant effect? Also, Toyota comes up again with only Ex reporting, which included 30 day lates 9/07 and 10/07. Do these count as 2 additional negatives especially when considering the fall of dates? Would it make sense to send good will letter since this has been paid off? Any other thing recommended?
