Can a collection agency for a non-credit card-type bill hurt your credit rating?
Yes Once a collection account is reported to your credit history, its origin no longer matters. If money is owed and it gets listed with a credit reporting agency as a collection account, it affects the main factor in your credit score: Payment history. See www.myfico.com/CreditEducation/WhatsInYourScore.aspx for details of a FICO score.
If a debt listed on your credit report was sold from one collection agency to another and you paid the debt with the new agency can the old agency still be marked as a debt on your credit report?
If the old collection company is still showing the debt being owed, it can usually be taken care of by supplying to them evidence of the payoff of the debt with the other agency. Should that not work, order your credit report on line (from whichever bureau is reporting it) and then instigate an on-line dispute. You'll have to supply to them evidence the debt is paid and then they'll handle it from there. This procedure usually takes 30 - 45 days to clear up.

Is it more effective to challenge inaccurate credit information via the reporting agency or each individual creditor?
As much as I hate to say it, as it makes more work for collection agencies, dispute inaccurate information with the bureau it is listed with. They require the reporting agencies to at least mark the information disputed. In addition to that, agencies must have proof of debt, and must respond to the bureau. Bureaus are a pain and they love the hold function on their phones, but are effective if you have the patience.

They will have thirty days to either substantiate the debt and its listing, or have it removed.
