They have caused me and My family suffered severe harm due to their negligence and inaccurate reporting. 

I emailed the CEO of the creditors and received calls back from their collection departments, who all said the same thing : they have written the debts off. its up to me to follow up with the consumer reporting agencies and IRS.
