Not unless you DV them within the first 30 days. A CA must cease all collection activities, including CRA reporting, until they validate the debt only if they receive your DV request within the first 30 days. There is no requirement for them to cease collecting if they receive a DV request later.

So if I DV a paid CA and they don't validate, do they have to stop reporting it to the CRA's?

Okay, I am also new to this... This year is my goal to pay off or settle most of my debt that I was lazy paying off before. I'm looking to bring up my embarrassing 400's score up this year. My first settle is actually May 3rd for 1003.33 settlement for a 14grand debt. I know.. unheard of, so i'm kinda scared that if i'm getting screwed, but I guess i gotta start somewhere.... Just so I get the terms right... DV= Debt Validation, what is CA????
