After several attempts of trying to remove a debt on my report that did n't belong to me, I agreed to pay off the debt at a reduced rate. I was told that it would be removed off my credit within XXXX days and it was n't removed. It does say XXXX balance but it 's listed as a collection. I called the agency and they told me to call the credit bureau. Should n't it be the collection agency who should contact the credit bureau?
