You have already started, by proving that you can payoff past debt. Good job for doing that.

First make sure that they removed those outstanding accounts from your credit score. If so, you can begin building credit by getting a new credit card, getting added to someone else's credit card, getting a small loan, or if you have money to invest you could open a CD with a bank and have them open a loan and use the CD as collateral. All of these options will help you get back on the road to recovery.

Great.
Get a secured credit card from a bank or credit union. Pay it on time. It will probably take a year or two of very good behavior, but your score should start climbing.
Actually, I think it is better than you think, if you were able to take care of collections. Go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com and find out.
