I paid a colletion account with one collection agency. Now another collection agency is requesting payment for the same debt. What do I do next? I've alreasy sent them proof of payment.


Welcome to the Community :D You said this debt has already been paid?

Was this a settlement or you paid it in full? If it was a settled debt, unless you have something in writing, I believe they can take the balance owed and sell it to another CA. I may be wrong, but this is what happened with my brother years ago. He settled, didn't get a paid in full, etc., and some other agency came after him.

If this is a debt you paid in full, in addition to sending them a DV, send them a cease and desist. I paid a hospital bill way back when my son was in and out of the hospital, and then years later they came after me. It had been something like 8-10 years later, I had no paper work by then to prove it. The one Ca that called my house that day told me in a whisper to send in a cease and desist ,that this had been paid. I did this, and finally they stopped contacting me. Good Luck- If I am mistaken, someone will be along to steer you in the right direction..karen
