What can you do when a credit agency contacts you about a card you paid off 6 years ago if you paid with a money order and cannot prove you paid?

If you have no proof of payment, then it's the same as if you have not paid. Don't expect a collection agency to believe you. They talk to hundreds of people every day who tell them "it's paid". You can try disputing the account with the original creditor, the company you paid it to and the credit bureaus. At least that would put the gears in motion. But, without proof, don't get your expectations too high.
