A credit report was run for me as I 'm trying to get a mortgage. A debt collection that I paid off with a {$0.00} balance in XX/XX/XXXX is being reported as a {$0.00} balance every month by the collection agency. The report comes back and shows the most recent report of a {$0.00} balance as XX/XX/XXXX instead of the date it was originally paid off ( XX/XX/XXXX ). The credit reporting company ( I assume ) must be looking at the most recent report of a {$0.00} balance instead of the first date it was reported as a {$0.00} balance ( XX/XX/XXXX ).
