I had a collections from Sprint for $164 on my CR from October 2012 and it was sent to a collection agency I believe in California somewhere. I called both the CA and Sprint to get this paid and deleted. This is before I joined this awesome forum and realized what a PFD was....arggh. I ended up making the decision to pay Sprint and not the CA....and Sprint reported to the CA that it was paid. Now I have a paid collections sitting on my CR until 2019.
I was wondering, if I was to bombard someone with GW letters who should it be......Sprint or the collection agency (I'd have to figure out who it was). I have found a very nice GW letter that was made up for Verizon and it worked for the composer of the letter. I was thinking about switching all the VZW for Sprint and see if that would get me anywhere......or is it the CA I should be courting for that GW deletion?
Any help would be wonderful....2019 seems so far away for such a little amount. I didn't even know I owed it.....until it was reported. I paid immediately and it was only on my CR for a total of one month.
Starting Score: 612 - Score Watch EQAny ideas from the Guru's on who the GW letters should be sent to? I want to say Sprint, but they don't control the reporting. How does one go about GW'ing the CA for Sprint (if that's who I should be GW'ing)?
I believe the CA was the one who reported, and Sprint updated it to reflect that it was paid. Unfortunetly it was not removed at the same time.
Does anyone know who the CA "605YC54741" is?....or how I could find out, so I can start GW'ing them.

Thanks DaBears for the quick responses. I will call Sprint on Monday to find out for sure, sure!
However, I Googled the agency number and found this:
Original balance: $416 Agency name: G C SERVICES Current balance: $416 Agency number: 605YC54741 Status (as of 4/1/2009) : UNPAID Agency industry: Not Reported First delinquency: 7/1/2008 Original creditor: 605YC54741 Last payment: Not on Record Description: Not Reported
Is it possible that two different CA's have the same agency number? IN NOT.....has anyone heard of G C Services? They easy or hard to work with regarding GW letters?
