I attempted a FAX PFD to "Credit Protection Associates". I then got the OC (COMCAST) to accept payment directly. I have seen here and elsewhere that they don't generally respond to disputes on paid accounts, and I had an open dispute when I paid.
I actually had a LONG conversation with Comcast to get an explination on how I could possibly owe anything. I looked back in my records and sure enough, my final payment had failed when I moved.
I called the Comcast call center in central PA to pay it, and requested they put in a note requesting deletion of the record.
The combination of all of this succeeded.
This may not apply to your situation, so sorry I can't be of much more help. That's why I didn't add it to my "here's how I did it" list.
