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.
Collection agencies notify all the credit bureaus electronically concerning the delinquency amount of the debt and number of days outstanding every 30 days.
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.
If you have accounts in collection that you were not aware of, you need to contact the collection company. You can also contact the credit bureaus for more information.
Get a copy of your credit report from all three bureaus. You can get a free copy each year. This report will tell you all of the collection accounts that are currently reported, and to which of the credit bureaus they are being reported to.
Yes they can and they probably will. if you are concerned about your credit profile, it would not be a good idea to stop paying.

The collection agency typically does not report to the credit bureaus, the original lender does. Lenders report to the bureaus, collection agencies collect on delinquent debt.

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.
bureaus and agencies.
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.

The plural of bureau is bureaux (from French) or bureaus.(The English plural "bureaus" is used almost exclusively for government agencies.)
In the USA, the three main credit bureaus are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. In the UK, the three main credit reference agencies are Experian, Equifax, and Callcredit.
The correct spelling of the plural noun is agencies(bureaus, or instrumentalities).
