Anything else will lead other creditors you may be seeking credit with to believe you were once in trouble. The ball is in your court. You have the money to pay them and would like to resolve this. Remember, the creditors are in the business of making money, so if they think you will give them what you owe in exchange for a positive listing, most of the time they will go for it. Check out the sources I have used to clean up my credit. Tim
