Get a copy of all three credit reports, then dispute them. The credit reporting agencies will contact the creditors to verify. If the collection agencies do not report the items paid, you will need to contact the collection agencies individually, and provide them with proof of payment. Do this by certified mail, with a letter advising them to correct the records within 30 days. If they do not, you may have recourse thru the FTC under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

How do you remove collections from credit report?
Good question. There are a few tactics to remove collections from your credit report; First, is the debt paid off? If so, the option I would suggest is to write a dispute letter to that specific credit bureau. If the debt has not been paid yet, typically, you can negotiate with the creditor to remove the collection account from your credit report if you pay the debt (WARNING!!! make sure this is stated in writing before you send any money).

If you have perfect credit what will happen if you dispute charges on a credit card and the company wants you to pay them and sends it to collections?
A collection account is a significant derogatory item on your credit report. Any late payments, collection accounts, or legal items on a consumer's credit report cause deductions in their credit score. It would be in your best interests to read your card holder agreement, specifically sections pertaining to disputes. Many companies allow a dispute process, but if such a dispute is not resolved, you may have liability on the debt. The exact terms would be laid in that agreement. The agreement/contract is what you will be held to.
