So... I paid a medical collection bill that's been around for a while, but has NEVER been on my credit report. I paid the sucker... and now it was added to my report with a Zero Balance. WHAT?!?!
Is that right?
-------------
Edited to add:
Pulled out the collection letter, and it was a newer letter, one I got in October that said Pay Not and we won't Report. So I paid... I called the Credit Bureau and they said that if the account is in collections, they can report at any time, even after it's paid. 
So I called the collection agency and he said "weird. we will get that taken of." I got his name and date & time of the call... I will check back later! 
Hopefully it's gonna be taken off in no time!
