I am new to this site and message board. I have been reading trying to learn as much as possible.
I graduated college a little over a year ago and have been working steady. I pulled my reports
so I could get some things together and work towards buying a home this year. I made some
mistakes in college as far as paying credit cards etc, but also have some medical items, that
I was completely unaware of. Please help me with what I should do about each item on my Equifax credit
report listed below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My Equifax score from myfico is currently 588.

I have a collection on transunion for Progressive Insurance, which was a mistake by Progressive.
Progressive contacted CA and they show $0 balance, but CA refuse to delete even though
it was not my fault.
