Running my annual credit report, I saw an item that was sent to collections that I already paid on time.
After I paid the invoice, I received another bill. I called the company and they saw the bill was paid in full on time. The 2nd notice was sent out in error.
Then today, I saw they filed a collections action against me.
I filed a dispute and attached the canceled check along with a copy of the bill. I faxed it over to Equifax with the request form.
How long does it generally take for it to be taken off the credit report?
