Best Answer

No. You have to put in a dispute saying that the two are the same debt and that there reported for two different amounts. The credit bureau will dispute it for you and have it fixed. The company in most states has 30 days to respond with the correct information. And then the incorrect information will be removed. If they don't respond at all to the credit bureau in 30 days the credit bureau will remove them both completely from your credit report. It is a win win situation.

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.

What do collection agencies mean by saying a bad credit report MAY be submitted?

Most likely, it means that you have a chance to pay them before they report the collection on the bureaus. Credit grantors and collection agencies have to pay to place entries onto your credit bureau files and update them. It makes sense that a company would give you a chance to pay the debt prior to incurring additional expenses.


Will collection agencies remove old bills from your credit if you pay them in full or just show them as paid?

Collection agencies don't manipulate your credit or remove accounts from your credit. The credit bureaus themselves are repsonsible for maintaining accurate reports, but because the credit is yours, you should check you reports at least once a year to ensure their accuracy.
