After explaining to her what happened (I moved abroad and never received the final bill or their notifications to pay), she said she'd make an exception an have it removed b/c I didn't get their letters. So, it does work, just ask nicely and don't give up.

I paid the bill a little over 3 years ago knowing it would be on my credit but not knowing the full ramifications of that. I recently applied for a home loan and found that this was seriously damaging my ability to get a mortgage. I've been trying to find legitimate ways to get this off my credit for about a week now. I came across this article today and I have to admit I never thought of this and I honestly thought it was a bit ridiculous. I tried it anyway and the collections company contacted me today to verify my address so they could send me a letter of removal. This method may not work, particularly if the debt is recent, but the potential benefit is more than worth sucking up your pride and almost begging for some help.
