I have been disputing this account for more than 5 years, To resolve this matter, I hired XXXX XXXX Firm and while this account was paid in full XXXX the creditor is reporting that the account was paid in full with the same account number and they are also reporting with the same account number that it is a negative item. 

Finally I received a letter from XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating that the XXXX account had been sold to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Since this account was paid in full in XXXX XXXX, it is MORE THAN 7 years old and the good credit is the correct reporting. On each and every credit report it is duplicated and now in triplicate with XXXX XXXX showing up as well as XXXX with XXXX negative and XXXX positive for the same account number. 

I do n't understand why number an account that is paid in full was sold to an outside collection agency and why can both XXXX and XXXX funding continue to report the same account on my credit report, although the account is paid in full and is reported on the bureau to remain as good credit until XX/XX/XXXX.
