Can a collection agency put a delinquent debt on your credit report if it was never reported by the original creditor and the SOL has expired?

Yes they can. The SOL being expired gives you a good basis upon which to dispute the entry and an affirmative defense to a lawsuit; but those won't prevent a collection agency from reporting a bad debt.

Can delinquent membership dues in a timeshare be reported to a credit agency?
Any debt CAN be reported to the credit bureaus. What you need to find out is whether or not these dues WILL be reported. Credit reporting is totally volunatary. There is no law or regulation which compels it. Existing laws only state that if something is reported, then it must be accurate. It is possible, but unlikely, that a timeshare company reports. Delinquent dues may be turned over to a collection agency. A CA is more likely to report their accounts. What I know is that any debt can be reported to a credit agency. I don't know if this is the case of delinquent membership dues. Yes, it can be reported to a credit agency as delinquent membership dues can be treated like debts.
Can a collection agency put the same item on your credit report that has already been reported by the original creditor?
Yes. The original creditor more than likely put the item on first, then sold the account to a collection company who after unsuccessfully trying to collect the debt reported the item to the credit bureaus. So to you it was the same account or item but now the debt has transferred to a new company.
Who can report delinquent accounts to credit reporting agencies?

Does an account put with a collection agency always show up on your credit report?
This depends only if the creditor originally reported your account to your credit report.
You had a credit card account which they charged off and sold to a collection agency ca Now you have that charge off which carries a balance and a CA collecting on the same debt What could you do?
It is unlikely that the account was "sold" to a collection agency. Rather, the agency was contracted to recover the debt. The "charge off" of the account only affects the original creditor, and represents a loss reported against the company's taxes. If the collection agency has attempted to recover the debt and has been unable to, the original creditor will likely pull back the account and refer it to another agency in hopes of greater success.
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.
If a debt has been sent to collection company does it mean that it will automatically effect your credit?
