Collection posted on already paid debt - is this allowed?

I owed a debt that I paid off on 8/1/07.  A company called AssetCare reported a collection to my credit report for this debt on 9/19/07, then marked it as paid on 10/24/07.  Are they allowed to report on a debt that I have already paid?  It was a valid debt, but I took care of it before it was reported.  Is this something I should dispute?

Did you pay The OC or the CA that is reporting?
