The same thing happened to me. No matter what I did, I
couldn't get it cleared. Hired an attorney and for $50 she
wrote a letter to the company and sent a copy of the receipt
and gave them 30 days to rectify the situation with the
credit reporting agencies or else... Collections stopped and
within 10 days, all was well again. It's worth a shot.
