Wrote check at XXXX 's XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It bounced. 
XXXX hired Meade and Associates on XX/XX/XXXX to collect. Once I got the notice I called and made arrangements to pay half on XX/XX/XXXX and the rest on XX/XX/XXXX. They said I would not be reported to the credit bureau with these arrangements. I got a copy of my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and suddenly there is a paid collection on my account that says this debt was paid in XX/XX/XXXX! This entry has dropped my score below what I need to buy a house. The girl I just talked to was mean and nasty and said there is no way they will remove this entry ever for any reason. I asked her point blank even if you are wrong you will not remove the entry and she said no never. XXXX she told me that the rule was it had to be paid within 60 days of them receiving the debt so I paid the last payment at XXXX days but they told me when I made the arrangements they would not report at all. I was arguing with her and then she says no it is not 60 days it is 30 days from when it turns up in their office. She just kept lying. They found it necessary to send it thru to the credit bureaus XXXX months after I paid it off!!!!!!!! This is XXXX and they need to be stopped.
