Can the original creditor agree to recall the account from collections who is reporting it once it is paid in full in effect having it removed from the credit report?

Negative entries will remain on a credit report until the required time period of seven years has elapsed. Neither the original creditor nor a collector can have the entry removed, but it can be noted as "paid as agreed", "paid in full" "satisfied" and so forth.

Can a creditor come by your job about a past do payment?

Neither a creditor nor a collector can physically come to your job to do this, unless they can do so without disclosing why they are there. For instance, I have heard of before lawyers who owe past due debts, who the agencies made appointments with in which they discussed the debt behind closed doors. This would be acceptable under the law.Since this is in the repossession category, it can only be assumed you are asking in relation to a respossession agent coming to your place of employment to secure your vehicle. This is totally acceptable and legal. Repossession agents are not held to the same standard.


How can you remove a collection agency entry from your report if you have paid the original creditor and there is no need to deal with the agency?

Send proof of payment to the original creditor and the information being reported against you by the collection agency. Request that they make sure the collection account is withdrawn and their original account is listed as paid. Upon receipt of that letter, send a dispute letter to the credit reporting agencies with your proof of payment. Follow up until your credit report is correct. updated entry: This is pretty good, but one problem is that neither the creditor nor the collection agency will be all that motivated to do anything since you have already paid the debt. But is really your only option at this point. Keep doing this over and over (every 2-3 months). I am always surprised, but sometimes things get removed on my 3rd or 4th time.


Can a husband and wife be sued for medical bills if the husband is on social security but the wife works?

If both are contractually responsible or liable for the debt, then yes; and likely both will be. While neither SSI nor disability can be attached, as soon as the payment hits the bank, the creditor can garnish the account. Both the wife's wages and bank account can be garnished.
