The Library info, I would try and do a PFD.
The apartment complex, you need to call the company who put the collection and asked for two thingsa copy of the original lease and the itemized deduction sheet. Because its a contract agreement, depending on the state you live in it has an SOL, I don't know exactly how to assist unless you can state what is in the itemized deduction sheet, which you generally get forwarded to your new address that you provide to your landlord. You can probably dispute it and pay nothing, or you might have to pay a portion of it, or all it.
I had a similar situation, but the difference is I kept the original lease, had the itemized deduction sheet, and a whole lot of leverage. It ended with it taken off my credit report, and my scores start going up from there.
That collection that was a charge off, need to call TU and give them the account number and customer service will tell you who the debtor is. TU has been pretty good at that in the past.
The issue is the OP doesn't know who they are because of the way the report is written.
+1 guiness. The information in this CR is insufficient.
Start with pulling your FREE CR's from (ACR) annualcreditreport.com . they tend to have more info on them, then ones from a 3rd party. The CR's from ACR, come directly from each of the CRA's. You can pull 1 Free CR from TU,EQ and EX every 12 months.
Save your money and Don't Buy the Scores, they are what we call FAKO's.
Pull them from here like she suggested.
I have all 3 credit reports from the annualcreditreport.com website.
I'll post the details of which later this evening.
I did figure out who the unknown debt was.
Thanks again for the help!
Here are the tradelines as listed on the reports:

This one is confusing because it was a Joint account with a roommate (and it says individual) And I believe we didn't leave a balance...

I believe this was wrongfully charged.... They kept my security, then apparently charged me what my security would have been. I don't believe I have a copy of the lease.

So, I'm not sure if I should dispute these? I'm kind of afraid to do so... If it is "verified" does it reset the 7 year count timer?
Also, My student loan is about $350 underwater from a few years of financial forbearance and interest racking up... How much does this hurt me? Should I make a $400 payment to get the amount I owe less then what I borrowed? What priority should this be?
I applied for a secured Cap One credit card (and was approved with a minimum security deposit)... Should I apply for any others? Should I do that right away or wait a month or so?
Thanks again for any help..
To ease your mind, nothing resets the 7 year reporting time.
What state are you in?
For the first one listed - There is no balance on the account - paid in full. You can send them a GW letter to ask for it's removal.
Second one - Look up your states landlord/tenant laws. Make sure everything that was to be done when you left was. Like a walk through etc.
The 3rd one is due to fall off in May. I would just leave it alone for now.
I would wait to apply for more.
I currently live in Massachusetts... I recently moved here from NY.
The apartment is in Texas.
The utility company is in NY.. The weird thing about this account is .... I didn't pay it? Who did? It's just weird. Does a goodwill letter go to the Utility company or the collection agency?
I checked the tenant laws in Texas... it doesn't say anything about a walkthrough. Hmm.

Again thank you for the input, it is appreciated.
The GW goes to the one reporting on the CR. It is a CA reporting but it does say account paid in full.
I found this:
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/PR/htm/PR.92.htm
Not sure of the circumstances of why you left etc.
Thank you for the additonal link. I'll read through today and tonight.
The lease was up, and ExHubs and I moved out... Nothing dramatic actually lol.
