Was it added back to the same Bureau I ask this because if you paid on it sometimes that provides a flag to other B's and so it will pop up on theirs?! If it's the same one you can dispute it and send a letter stating you already had it paid and worked out and ask they remove it again as now it would be invalid so you shouldn't have to pay it twice that would be ridiculous.

Yes added back to the same bureaus.
It was SYNC/CARECREDIT acct, how as MIDLAND FUNDING.
So, it sounds like the account was sold to Midland? And now Midland is reporting their own tradeline? If this is the case, then that's normal reporting activity. Original creditors will sometimes opt to delete their tradeline when a debt is sold or transferred to a collection agency -- and then the collection agency will begin their own reporting.
Good news is Midland will delete a tradeline after payment. So contact them and set up an arrangement, pay in full, or settle the debt so the item can be removed. You can look up your account on their website and see if any settlement offers exist, or view payment options: https://www.midlandcredit.com/help-center/credit-reporting/
It did not affect your score twice. As you said you got the points back when it came off. Naturally once it was added back you lose those gained points. On your report lose points, off your report gain points, on your report again lose points. Its the same points.
The points may be a bit more this last time because it is "new". Thats one of the dangers of the dispute process. Now that it is with a creditor "pay for delete" may be an option. Search that term and/or "PFD"
