Paying off old debt to original creditor
Date: Fri, 10/23/2009 - 11:00
I had a cable bill that went to collections in 2006. I spoke to the cable company (original creditor) last week, and they said they can still accept payment for the account.
I do have some collections from early 2003 that will be taken off my credit reports next year, and this will be my only negative account after that.
Would I be able to pay off the bill with the cable company and then file with the current collections agency that it is an invalid debt?

Paying them will re-age your debt, keep that in mind. I am not saying dont pay them but it will stay on your report 2 more years. I would ask them for a Pay to delete and have them contact the CA they assigned it to.
