If an agency is trying to collect an item that fell off your credit report after 7 years will it go back on your report if you refuse to pay?
It MAY.
The practice of re-inserting derogatory information, like collection accounts, onto consumer's credit files is one of the reasons the Fair Credit Reporting Act was amended last year. That amendment, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT) set firm rules for establishing the DLA (date of last activity) on accounts. This date establishes when the 7-year clock begins ticking.
Technically, FACT only applies to accounts that were generated after December 1977. But if a sleazy collection agency attempted to re-insert a collection account past its statute of limitations; a consumer would certainly have grounds upon which to dispute that listing. Gather your evidence and assume that it will show up on your credit report. Fore-warned is fore-armed.
