Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Consumer Complaint: I called Credit Protection Association on XX/XX/2017 in an attempt to pay off this account. We have been working diligently to repair our credit in order to be able to purchase a home. When we paid the debt, we were led to believe that the account would be deleted upon payment, but that was not the case. On XX/XX/17, the account was marked paid, but it was not removed. This payment did not improve my score, and we are now, a full year later, working to remove it because of the lack of improvement due to this account.
