Ok, here it goes....We were recently contacted regarding a dental bill by a CA. I informed the CA that this bill has been in dispute with the original creditor for almost three years. It has been reported on our credit. Finally, the original creditor sent the requested validation information, and we have just about come to the correct amount owed. I have requested that the collection information be removed from our credit reports (in writing) and I will pay the correct balance owed. Neither the original creditor nor the CA want to take responsibility to remove it, even though it should never had been there in the first place. The dental office never provided the requested validation of the balance. They have not provided the CA with the "corrected" amount owed even as of today. I will not pay a dime on the balance until this is removed from our credit reports. Am I way off base with this, or should I do something else. I have faxed the dispute letter to the CA, and am mailing return receipt requested to the CA and original creditor tomorrow. All I want to do is resolve this. Actually, I've been trying to do this for almost three years. Please push me in the right direction. On a side note, this collection report has jumped the interest rates on two of my credit cards. Help!!
