Ok, Here we go. I have Collections accounts (Medical) and they are as follows from my EQUIFAX CR: $339--Date of 1st Delinquency 09/2000 $111--Date of 1st Delinquency 05/2001 (has been deleted after I disputed it) $064--Date of 1st Delinquency 01/2001 $657--Date of 1st Delinquency 12/2000 $734--Date of 1st Delinquency 12/2000 $101--Date of 1st Delinquency 12/2000 And on my other Reports, those are the same, with one more added, and it is as follows: $1866--Date Open 06/2003 (not Medical)(school related, but NOT a Student Loan) I am in the state of CA, and I understand that the SOL is 4 years. So my questions: Should I contact CA's to try for a "Pay For Deletion", since I assume I have leverege, due to the SOL being up on all except the $1866 one.(and of coarse, I would get the "PFD" in writing) If "YES" on the previous question, how do I go about doing this? Or, Should I just wait until they fall off my CR in 1-2 Years? Any other suggestions are welcome!!! Here is some additional info: My Credit Scores as of today are: EX 601 EQ 571 TU 605 I Have NO Credit Card Debt And 1 Paid off Auto Loan (with "4" 30 Days Late)(Still Shows "Pays as Agreed") Thank You All in advance!!!

Hi Rick, Go to my site: awesomecredit.com On the left you'll see a PDF link that says: "Defending Against Hospital Collections" Covers medical too. The attempted collection of a POST SOL debt in CA is a violation of UDAP. : )
