Collect America to Square Two Financial

[jmack711]

Hey guys here's the scoop. I had a collection account that I settled with Collect America back in 2005. So I contacted someone via email regarding a GW gesture to remove the account. The person did in fact agree to remove the account. However, now the account is showing up as Square Two Finanical. The account has all of the same information including the address and phone number. What do you guys think I should do? Should I contact the individual from Collect America to see what is going on or should I contact Experian?

I just did a quick google search and couldn't find a link between the two. Save copies of reports showing that link. I'd first send a GW to this new company with a copy of Collect America's agreement. If that didn't work, after 45-60 days, I'd send everything to the CRAs proving that link and it should come off.

Duh...I should have searched for "Collect America" first:

Hi, if I was you I would contact Collect America to see what is going on talk to someone who is superviory level first also do you have anything in writing in regards to deleting this account because if all else fails with Collect America send the information you have to EX.

Thanks guys for the responses. Lol Ilecs I did the same thing I just looked up Square Two and not Collect America. Tray I do still have the emails that were exchanged with the individual from Collect America. SO I believe I'm gonna shoot him an email. I'm thinking that Collect America has changed their name once again and that they  only update their accounts every 45 or so. So wish me luck and thanks again!!
