Debt collectors reinserting deleted credit report entries for debts never owed
Collection agencies repeatedly reinsert previously disputed and deleted accounts onto consumers' credit reports, including debts from institutions the consumer never enrolled in or received services from. Each reinsertion restarts the dispute cycle with no penalty to the collector. There is no effective mechanism to permanently prevent reinsertion of an invalid collection account.
