I ran my credit report and saw a derogatory charge from Columbia House (Trident Asst). I have enver had this accoutn, is was showing in collections for $78.00. I did some research and found that they do this to alot of people. I filed a BBB complaint, and it is going to be removed in 10 days from all three CRA's.

Wow, this is unbelievable because the same thing happened to me but I PFD them just because I am can't close on my home loan. I wish I had known this was there customary practice. I did not think I owed them anything however since at one point I did have a Columbia House account (years ago) I paid them especially since my score dropped a few points and I am a borderline loan applicant so I needed all of my points.
i just did a dispute through experian on this CA...two days later it was removed...grrrr crappy CAs jus tputting stuff on credit just becasue
I'm having a similar situation. What exactly did you do?
I had them too! I called them and said I didnt think I had an account with Columbia House but went ahead and paid as it was only $50 and they removed it from my CR.
Who removed it from your CR nwokcguy? Did you have an agreement for them to removed it BEFORE you paid it or did it disappear on its own?
I have the same on mine, but do not recall having a Columbia DVD account ever. I am currently putting together a PFD because it is only $44, but if I should dispute first then I will definitely do that? Any advice???

They handle all different types of collections. I had a bounced check they were collecting on. Trident is pretty simple call them tell them you will pay if they delete and they will send you a letter than you can go online and pay or mail a check. Took less than two weeks for it to be deleted from my CR
I PFD'd them and didn't get a response. Just submitted a BBB complaint.

Did you send a letter or call? I would rank Trident one of the easiest collection agenices to deal with

I sent a letter. I did not call them as calling a CA is usually a "no-no" for me.
