I'm concerned about very old unpaid items that are now being passed to new collection agencies and are turning up on my credit report. (debtroundup.com)
Usually these accounts were not the same ones that were deleted before, but will be a new collection account that a new collection agency took over to collect on. (mycreditsolutions.com)
Then this new collection agency called ABC Collection Agency sends you a collection letter but you either trash it, or don't respond to their 30 day validation notice to «validate the alleged debt», then ABC Collection Agency has the legal right to put a new negative listing called a «collection account» on your credit reports.
