When contacted by a collector the agency must inform the debtor that he or she has 30 days to request confirmation of the debt. If the debtor does not request the information within the stated time the collector has not legal obligation to supply the debtor with proof of the claim unless the case becomes a lawsuit.

The safe way is to enter the credit card issuer information and under "additional parties" or "other notice," enter the collection agency info. The debt may have been sold to a collection agency, in which case the original creditor no longer owns the debt, but the new owner rarely notifies the debtor of the change, even though the law requires it.

Can debt collectors locate someone if they request a credit report?

No. A collection agency does not have access to your credit report. They use contact information supplied by the original creditor. They are required to adhere to the FDCPA, not all of them do, however. Generally a consumer who requests their own credit file has to provide proof of their current address. This information (if new) then becomes part of that consumers' credit file. Any company subsequently performing an inquiry would get the current contact information. If a collection agency pulled a consumers' credit, they would get all the information showing in that persons' file at the time of the inquiry. If that data contained accurate contact information, then the collector would have it. This is an ordinary method of obtaining location information on debtors and monitoring for activity such as new loans/accounts which indicate ability to pay (past due debts).
