I was able to reach C H (1 812 4668636), Rep told me that they would notify N C inc to remove my name from its files and got the following E mail:
The account #... Has been cleared of charges and the
Collection Agency is being notified to remove the

If we may be of further service, please let us know.

NEED YOUR ADVICE:

Should I FAX it to Nationwide Collections or just forget the all thing?
Thank you.
