Can anybody help with this..I have a collection account on my credit report (only 2 agencies are reporting the debt: Trans and Equifax) that were purchased from the original creditor by a collection agency. Here's the twist, the account that was purchased was written off by the original creditor about 6 years ago. The collection agency is reporting the account as a current account as of February 2007. How can I get them to remove this account? Since the statue of limitation in my state is 6 years and the account was already written off by the original creditor? I sent a certified letter requesting validation of the debt, but that information sent back was incomplete, the letter provided consisted of the original creditor name and an account number, there was no date of last activity or any other account history.
Any advise on how I should proceed?
P.S. I already requested debt validation by the credit bureau and it came back valid, but with no information to back up the validation.
