Paid in full, was a charge off. Options?

Hello all,

 

I am trying to improve my credit and have obtained a digital copy of my report from the 3 bureaus.

 

I have one negative item on all 3 reports that's reported as a Charge Off/Paid in full.

 

 

My newbie question before giving details is simply this, is there anything I can do to alleviate this blow on my credit?

 

Basically any advice on how to improve this blemish is appreciated.

 

All my research has me a bit confused about what my options are at this point.

 

 

Also, I'm a bit confused why it is reported slightly different between the 3 bureaus?

Re: Paid in full, was a charge off. Options?

If it's paid, then the option you have is to send a goodwill letter for deletion to them, in hopes that they will delete it from your reports. They do not have to do this, and it doesn't always work. For those that have it work, it doesn't always happen the first time. It can take multiple attempts.
