Old Debt?

[Mike]

I have a few old credit cards that I would like to see come off my credit report. They have very small balances and are more or less just an annoyance at this point. I know that even if I pay them that the negatives will remain on my account. I have written to the credit reporting agencies trying to get some contact information on the debts with no luck, I need to contact these companies to get these accounts taken care of.Funny thing is that I read on here on how people can not get collectors to quit calling them, I am prepared to pay off these companies but can not seem to find out who has the debts right now to take care of them. They are no longer with the companies that are on my credit report.If anyone has any suggestions on how to find out who is representing your account when it is not any of the collection agencies on your credit report, I would greatly appreciate it. I have some money saved up and was planning on using my economic stimulus to clean these accounts up. Thank you all in advance for any advice that you may have to offer.
