Under the FCRA (fair Credit Reporting Act) If a Creditor or collection agency cannot verify a debt they are not allowed to collect, contact you or report it. Violation of this act is a $1000 fine. There's no way for a collection agency to prove that you owe them money because there is only an assignment of debt and not a contract between you and the creditor. One loophole, if you signed an agreement wording "debtor agrees to be responsible for payment of this debt to creditor or it's assigns" then you will be responsible for paying it. A computer generated printout of debt is not enough for Proof of Debt Owed.

If a debt has been paid to the original creditor and they recall it from their collection agency will a dispute succeed in having it removed from the credit report?

Hard to say. Disputing the collection after you pay off the creditor could still come back as 'verified' from the credit bureaus simply because the collection did happen. If the collection agency does not respond to the credit bureau's query, then the entry will be removed.


If you settle an old credit card debt with a collection agency paying the negotiated price in full will the collection agency remove the collection from your credit report?

No the collection will not be removed from the credit report. They will show it paid in full.


If a debt is reflected on your credit report by a collection agency can the original creditor recall their collection allowing you to dispute the debt with the credit bureaus and have it removed?

YES, THIS COLLECTION ACCOUNT CAN BE DISPUTED; WHICH MEANS THAT AFTER THIS IS DISPUTED YOU CAN ALSO REQUEST FOR THIS ACCOUNT TO BE REMOVED FOR GOOD WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO HAVE A CLEAN CREDIT HISTORY WHICH IN TURN INCREASE YOUR CREDIT RATING.


If a charge off has just come off your credit report can a collection agency or debt collector put it back?

NO! Once a debt has reached it's statute of limitation it must be removed from your credit report. If a collection company reports the bedt with a new date dispute it immediatly because what they are doing is illegal.


Why does the collection agency show on the credit report but not the original company?

It is there because they have purchased the account from the original creditor and are proceeding with their prescribed collection procedures. It is a legitimate entry on a credit report, and cannot be removed until the seven year expiration date. Even if the account is paid it will remain on the report marked as such, until the time limit expires.

If your original creditor was removed from your credit report can you dispute the collection agencies still showing the debt and have them removed also?

No, the original crditor was removed because the account was sold to a third party collector. The entry will remain on the report for the required 7 years from the DLA. You can dispute the collection agency entries as well. Often times if you have paid the debt, the collection agency will no longer keep records, thus be unable to prove the debt when you dispute it. They more than likely won't even respond, as they got their money and don't care anymore.
