F*^&$@$ Bank of America [amp bank] [bank of america]

I had the account open 2 months.
I have paid in full both months. CLD from $4000 to $900.

I many collections are from when me and my fiance again scheduled in Split 02 (gas / electric / cable / SBC), and before I found this forum I had to pay. I have to pay any legit argument about the accounts, and do not mind what I'm guilty, but only if they delete them from my CR. Can you deal with collections and it completely removed?
