Already paid collection added to credit report?

Does your attorney provide any legal basis supporting his/her opinion?

Obviously a fair question. I didn't ask for any legal basis because I wasn't involved in an actual dispute of any kind. It was mentioned in passing. I will look into it.

Just an update. I contacted the original lender and they had the collection company remove it from my report.

Pretty $hitty of them.  So happy for you that it was removed.  Congrats and good luck on the new mortgage.
