Help getting started

Hello all! I have been reading on here for a couple of years, but am going to take the plunge. Need help getting started. Here are my negatives. Almost all my negative accounts are 2-3 years old, so I won't mention the dates. My credit scores are between 649-659, but would like to purchase a house soon. Any chance of getting any of these removed? I really don't know where to start! Thanks!

Chase, I don't know what this is. I have only had 1 Chase account and I still have it and it shows as current. It did have a much higher limit and when i went through my financial issues, they lowered it to whatever my balance was at the time (I think 1100 somthing)

Re: Help getting started

Should I dispute the Chase account? Or is there a way to ask them to validate it?

Re: Help getting started

I would just start sending out good will letters to all of the ones that you have paid, either trying to get lates removed or trade lines deleted.  Anything that you may still owe, I would attemp Pay for Deletes.
