I see a collection item in one of my reports that might be related to an old debt from 1998. This old debt has certainly expired the SOL for both collection and reporting purposes.
How should I approach this to get it off my report? Should I first ask for a debt validation from CA? And then write a letter to the bureau with a copy of the debt validation proving to the bureau that this debt is way past its SOL for reporting purposes?
The collection item was opened in 2004.
