Disputes & Reappears

If a collection's account was disputed on your credit report and the final results were that it got deleted off; can it later reappear back on your report?

Yes.

Dispute results are never absolute/final. 

See FCRA 611(a)(5)(B) for the requirments relating to reinsertion of information deleted based on a prior dispute.

 

After deletion based on a finding in a dispute, the information cannot be reinserted unless the party includes a Certification of Accuracy of the information.

That overcomes the prior finding that the information was not verified, and permits its reinsertion.

 

If the CRA obtains a Certification, they can immediately reinsert, but must send the consumer a written notice of the reinsertion within 5 business days after the reinsertion.

 

However, if information is voluntarily deleted, then its reinsertion has no requirments beyond those of normal reporting.
