Help! I have gotten 2 collection agency notices in the past month. One was from the water company for around 100 dollars. This is past due from a couple of years ago. The other was from my insurance agency for 68 dollars. I paid both off immediately. I checked my credit report online and I see no sign of either of these. Is it possible that they wont be on my credit report? Or does it just take time?

Hi larasci,

Welcome to this community :)

Not all collection agencies report to the credit bureaus. Still, I think you should talk to the water company, and the insurance agency about this. Inquire if they had sent these debts to the collection agencies you've paid. The collection letters can also be a scam.

Thanks,

Aaron
