1. I paid the debt to comcast so I don't think the debt was sold.
2. It only shows up on the Transunion credit report.

Thanks for the clear explanation Joel. You are correct that it isn't hurting my credit that much. I am just annoyed as my credit has previously been flawless. I will dispute the blemish as you suggested.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but could you elaborate on this payment for deletion thing Joel? I just found out that I have a $50 comcast charge that was sent to collections in 2009. I paid the charge in full as soon as I knew that it was over due. Is there a way to get this off my credit. I am a bit distressed because my credit is otherwise flawless.

John Have you used the simple mat ? what did you think?

Hi, I Was just wondering if anyone out there knows of any good sheet type back splash materials. I am doing my first house and i was hoping to find a quicker alternative to tile back splash. I have torn down a lot of fake plastic tiles in the kitchen so the wall is pretty rough looking and i was hoping to find a nice sheet type product.

Thanks for the input guys. Its a two story house w/ alum siding. I had considered tearing down the chimney but then i will get stuck putting sideing on the whole house. Jawsette the house is a tri-level with the fireplace on a slab there are no signs of settling in the basement but there is some indication of settling at the base of the chimney so I am fairly confident it is the footer. I plan on contacting some chimney repair guys tomorrow and a foundation guy or two. I will let you all know.

Hi I am an aspiring investor in Richmond, VA. I have looked at several properties recently that i was interested in until I observed the chimney seperating from the house. I believe this is caused by inadquate footings. Has anyone delt with this kind of repair before? Is there a way to repair or stablize the footing like one would with a foundation? How much could i expect this to cost? I think i could get these houses really cheep but this is a big unknown for me. a
