Seven years is a common period of time. You should not try to pay up on old accounts, but for those within the last couple of years, see if you can call the company and settle the account so that it will be marked as paid rather than written off. Check to see if any negative information, such as from apartments or utilities, is inaccurate. If so, contact them and get a signed, letterhead, letter saying the account is paid. Then, send that to all of the credit bureaus. Definitely keep the letter in your file for years to come - zombie collectors are always out there. Finally, pay everything on time going forward. Sometimes it is helpful to signup for automatic billpay to keep things timely.
