    While I was currently deployed I got a bill for one of my cards that went into collections so I paid it off...checked my credit report and only the collections is there, not the original creditor...why would one never report it to the credit bureaus and with that being said can I get that collections taken off??

    Exactly how does the entry read?

    When you say 'deployed' do you mean being activated? If that is the case doesn't the S&S Act kick in? Might be something to run by a JAG officer. Most companies would remove the negative entry to avoid the bad press and show they support the troops.

    I am in active duty but we got deployed to the gulf in support of oif. The s & s is tricky to a degree but I new the debt was mine and just wanted to get it taken care of (it has to deal with a clearance issue). But the oc is not listed on my account just the creditor. JAG and Navy Legal wont do anything to help, believe it or not. I'm just curious how I go about getting the collections account erased.

    OK, I see this isn't sexy enough for JAG. Tell me...

    a) how does the entry read?
    b) what is the amount?
    c) when did you pay it?
    d) which report is it on?
    e) are you still deployed?

    You could try the "not mine" route....they may not bother verifying since it's paid....too much time, effort and Money on their part....worth a shot and then going from their....good luck
