It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. Either way I’m really working on trying to fix my credit it’s improved from where it was, not by much I just need ideas on how to get something rolling in the correct directions.
Â
I signed up to get my Equifax FICO score which is a 594. not great, but better than what it use to be.
Â
Either way I was reviewing some of the accounts it shows I have on there and one item on my account is showing that it’s late even though it’s paid off and doesn’t have a balance…this may be a silly question, but I want to make sure I’m doing the correct thing, but submitting a dispute up for that item on my account to get that properly removed off my report?
Â
Also I have this showing in collections on my report.
Collection on debt to: Time Warner Cab
The collection agency “682yc04711″ was hired to collect a debt of $182 originally owed to “Time Warner Cab” on account number “XXXXXX6510″.

The last time anything was reported or done on this account was back in 2007, but that being is collections is more than likely pulling down my score, should I just simply pay that off or leave it be on my account?
