Multiple Credit Report Listings

[msmedic]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi

Scenario: Debt Collection Agency #1 reports a debt to the credit bureau. After multiple attempts to collect the debt, they sell the account to Debt Collection Agency #2. Now, Debt Collection Agency #2 reports to the credit bureau and I now have 2 seperate listings for one account. Do I have the right to have one of them removed from my credit report?

Do I have the right to have one of them removed from my credit report?

You have the 'right' to contact the reporting agency in WRITING and request that they investigate the 'double report' and to remove one of them (preferably the oldest, usually the ORIGINAL debt).
