If the last time you made a payment on this account was Oct/03 then the last date of last activity in your credit file should be Oct/03.If you can get proof of this, then you can get the credit bureau to update your file. Whether you pay this debt off or not, this item will come off your credit file on Oct/09 by law. If you don’t have proof; I would call the cell phone company and request a copy of your last payment and balance. If they ask you why you need this information, just tell them the amount is too high and you would like to know when the last time you made a payment on this account. I would not tell them you need this information because of incorrect information in your credit file, or they will give the run around.
