Credit Card Charge Off Collection Attorney

I went through a very difficult time financially and was unable to pay my credit cards.  ( House, food, and heat came first)  I contacted the credit card company and explained and told them when I could start making payments.  I told them it would be 9 months, which they noted, and they called every few months.  Now I know 9 months is incredibley late, but I was being very honest.  Right when I was at the point when I could make payments, my account was sold to a collection ageny, who then gave it to an attorney’s office.  It went to court and I agreed to pay $100/00 month.  I have it taken out of my account every month.  Have paid it for 7 months straight.  The collection agency ( Arrow Services) who never collected a dime but sold it to an attorney’s office that is a collection service, is reporting it on my credit report as open and unpaid as of 12/09.  Recent payments: 0  In actuality,They sold my account over a year ago.  There is nothing from the atty’s office as having made payments. I have paid $700 of a $2,000 account ( which was originally 900, but all the fees brought it up to 2,400)
 
Is there anything I can do to have this poor reflection reflect a little less harshly?  It makes it look like I am making no payments when I am fufilling my obligation on this credit card.

there are probably some legal avenues you can take on this one
i think you should submit this to the credit repair yahoo group above and let someone comment on it.
 
I would dispute the account with the collection agency
the credit card company
and validate the account with the attorney before i paid them any more monies.

good luck with your credit score anf your free credit report
