I wrote a letter PFD and they just reported it on my credit report again

[Anonymous]

Long story short,

I wrote the standard PFD letter and I got credit updated and they re-dated the  unpaid bill as today's date. What gives? Is this common?

Happened to me. I have no idea how to fix it, except keep bugging them with PFD letters.

They (the account) probably just updated the account rather change the date (DOFD, DOLA). When they update the account, the line item at top of the listing says something like "report last updated on..".

The OC or CA doesn't have to accept a PFD and they can continue to report whatever. If you suspect the DOFD was changed, you could look at your reports directly from each CRA and see if the removal date changed any.
