Thank you SW. Any advice on which letter to send and which of the two credit collection companies do I send it to?

Are the accounts past SOL?

If past SOL, I would DV them all.

If not past SOL, I would try to pinpoint down who is likely to have the account now or who likely had it in the past based on reporting dates.
