Did you even try to dispute it with TU before you filed with the CFPB? I would assume you still have the reports from TU of when you had the file removed? If so I would just call and talk with a representative in the states and get a fax number and send in the information that this was previously removed. Maybe TU has not updated the information yet?
Reinsertion of previously deleted information is only regulated under the FCRA if the deletion resulted from a prior dispute of its accuracy.
Reinsertion then requires that the furnisher provide the lacking verification of accuracy to the CRA in the form of a certification of accuracy.
If they submitted that required pre-certification, and the CRA reinserted, then the CRA must send written notice to the consumer within 5 business days.
Otherwise, there would be no basis for a dispute or a complaint of FCRA violation.
Was there a prior dispute of the collection that was favorably resolved in your favor?
Then you have a private issue of agreement/contract violation, and not an issue that is a clear violation of the FCRA reinsertion provisions.
It's a bit dicy to complain to the CRA that they agreed to delete based on your payment, as that is contrary to their written policy.
If you have records showing their agreement, I would pursue directly with them. Perhaps civil action for breach of oral or wriiten contract, depending upon the level of your proof.
