After CRA disputing, Validating, and Nutcasing these final 3 paid collection accounts which were just killing my credit report, I decided to send a thoughtful, yet annoyed email to the president and vice president of the Collection Agency in question. This morning, I received the following: I have instructed the appropriate department to remove the information in question from your credit bureau file. WOOHOO! Just to let ya'll know, sometimes, the gentle human approach seems to work.
