OK, I guess i'm getting confused by this one. If a OC referrs an account to a CA, and you don't pay it, then they send it to another and another, and they all report it, once the accoount goes on to another agency do they then loose their "right" or authorization to collect it, basically loose their "ownership" of the account? At that point do they then have to remove any negative reports as they no longer are authorized to colect onthe account?


I owe some payday loans and they are killing my checking account. They want give me an address where to send a money order to them to pay in full. What do you do ?

Hi Clay,

collection agencies purchase the debts from the creditors and enforce collection activities on the consumers. Those agencies that can't produce debt validation carry on the collections on a different consumer with a different strategy.

It is during this time if the collection agency has not been able to provide the complete details of the debt and has hit your credit file, you can force them to remove negative information and report it disputed to the credit bureau. The consumers are guaranteed this protection under the fdcpa Section 807( 8 ), Section 809 ( b ) and can be sued up to the extent of damages.

Only those agencies having legitimate reasons can hit your credit file and put accurate negative information in the credit file of the consumers.

I hope this answers your query. If you are in a fix, do let me know.

Ok, so then if an account is passed from one CA to another say three or four times, can each one make a report to a consumers report, and keep validating it even though the account has been transferred to a different agency and they are no longer collecting on it? Or once the account is sent to anew agency , do they have to stop reporting (and ideally) remove the report if it cannot be validated as current?

For example say CA1 reported an account they were collecting for T-Mobile to Transunion , nothing happened and a few months later T-Mobile then sent the Account to CA2. CA2 then is the agent authorized to collect on behalf of their client, NOT CA1. Can the consumer then dispute the first agencies report and have it removed as they no longer are authorized to collect onthe account? Does that make sense?
