My credit is finally getting back to good after having to wait 7 years for a couple things to clear. However, this year (after seeing no collection agencies on my report a month ago)I received a letter in the mail from an agency trying to collect a debt that is from atleast 7 years ago on the original credit card. Are they allowed to add this to my credit causing a bad reflection on my credit now? I mean it is originally past the 7 years but it is a new agency that bought the debt. Do they have the right to add this on my credit report?
