...when they had sold the account to another CA? I paid the new CA (b4 this board!) and disputed both CA's....the first CA that had sold my acct was reporting me as collection w/ balance (even after they sold the acct, should've been reported as sold/transfrd 0 bal). Now after I disputed, they updated w/ CRA as PAID/COLLECTION! WTF! I never paid THEM! I just fired off validation letter....I'm sure there are some violations here so I can build up my paper trail, right? Anyone have an opinion/advice? Thanks...
They could do anything they try and get away with.. dispute and get it removed. I don't see why people even WANT a PAID on their report.. for ANY collections, these should be REMOVED 100% off your report. It is damaging regardless whether it is PAID or UNPAID. Dispute as NOT ACCURATE or NOT MINE Or whatever reasons and get it removed! =)
