I received a credit alert that a collection agency known as IC System stated I owed them a debt of {$610.00}. I was not aware I owed a debt to anyone. I contacted them immediately. The debt belonged to a power company I had n't used in several years. IC System said if I paid off the debt immediately it would be removed from my credit report and not further reported to the credit bureaus. They promised me this debt would be deleted. I paid it off immediately. IC System still reported it to the credit bureaus. I called IC System and they verified the debt was paid, but still they did not properly report this to the credit bureaus for removal. It has been several weeks since I paid this debt in full and the derogatory remark remains on all of my credit reports.
