collection item reported again

I am looking to purchase a home in about 2 months.  I just got a credit alert that something new has been reported to my credit report.  When I looked at my credit report, it was a collection item that has been on my credit report since 2002. Since this has taken place my credit score has gone down, not good.  I believe that I've have read somewhere that it's not possible for the collection agency to report an item twice.  Please any suggestions I need them right away, my lease is up soon!

Yes- They MUST notify you within 5 days to re-insert, The funisher must certify the data, the CRA must prevent re-insert.
