    I sent the CA that had it listed a validation letter. It was paid by the bankwhen I closed on my house. Because it was showing up on my credit. So it's paid and I want it off my credit report.

    So I sent them a validation letter on 9/2 got green card back. Disputedwith the CRA the next day. Spoke to EQ yesterday and they stated that the CA validated. And I still haven't gotten anything back from them.

    Faxed them and CRRR them a second letter yesterday stating they are in violation and need to DELETE the entry ASAP.

    Just because they don't have to notify me doesn't mean that I don't have the right to dispute it.
    On the grounds that you made payment in error is one reason.
