you need to go to court and make them prove the debt is your if they cant the case will be dimiss and removed from your credit never give any info make them prove it
How old is it? Why don't you try disputing it with all 3 CRA's as "Not Mine or No knowledge of Account"
A purchase account holder recently discovered that the purchase account was billed multiple times for the same purchase. Prior to disputing, how should the account holder try to work out a resolution?
A collection account that has not been paid off.
No, it will only affect ur joint account. Then cannot touch your other account.
You can write a letter of dispute to the collection agencies if that is who listed your credit account wrong. If it is a company, you can write a letter directly to their account or customer service department.
The letter itself will not change a DLA. The Date of Last Activity is SUPPOSED to be the date you last made a charge on the account, the date you acquired service, or 6 months from the date of last delinquency (if there is no other way to establish the DLA). Many collection agencies sidestep the Fair Credit Reporting Acts' statute of limitations by not reporting DLA's at all. How can they be expected to remove an account that is past the statute of limitations if they don't have the DLA? (tricky, huh?) Disputing a collection account will change the date the account was last reported on the bureaus. This date, much more than the DLA will cause the account to affect your credit score.
When you check your credit report there are several sections, one is called collections account. You will be able to review collections account directly after judgements, if any are listed on your report.
== == A Deragatory record is an account that has had a history of late payments. A collection account is an account that was not paid on time or at all, and was closed by the creditor and sold to a collection agency.

No, once a collection agency relinquishes their claim to the account by selling it they must remove all negative trade lines related to that account from your credit reports. Hope this helps ST
Not unless the account went uppaid and the bank sent it to a collection agent. Vote on our videos at www.wowifixedmycredit.com
No, collection agencies do not have any right to freeze your savings account. Only banks have the right to freeze your account but depends on the nature of the default.
