Well, check your states statute of limitations. If the SOL is up then tell the company to stop contacting you are you will sue them for harassment based on the fact that they have no claim under your state's SOL. The collection agency will try to say you still "owe" and I guess you do if it is your debt but you no longer have any legal obligation to pay.

What do you do if an account was turned over to a collection agency but the original creditor accepted your payment in full?
Contact the original creditor. Provide proof of your payment. They need to retract the account from the collection agency. The account could have been sold to the collection agency or simply assigned to them. For your purposes, it does not matter which situation applies. You paid the original creditor and your credit report needs to reflect this. After they do what they need to do to get the account back; you then dispute the entries with all three credit bureaus. The original account should show as a paid collection and the other collection account should be removed from your credit report entirely.

How do I remove a collection item on my credit report that was disputed but not removed?
Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove a collection off a credit report. You can negotiate the removal of the collection off the credit report upon final payment of the debt owed. Some collection agencies have policies against this, some don't. You can also redispute it to the credit bureaus as many times as they will let you. It has a higher chance of being removed if it is paid off and an older account.

Is the doctor going to turn the account over to a collection agency? A collection account would hurt your credit.

If they do, it could hurt your credit for an even longer period of time.
If you have an account that went to a collection agency however you paid it in full how long does it take for that collection account to be removed from your credit report?
It sticks for 7 years. The fact that it was turned over to a collections agency will make it to your credit report. When it is paid in full, it will say "settled" on your credit report so other creditors know you took care of the debt. Even so, it still haunts your credit report for 7 years.
