deleted CA, can it be added in future?

[budercup]

I recently disputed a collection acct w/ EQ and the same day sent a DV letter to the CA. I got a new CR that said it had been deleted, What is the chance the CA verifies? Can they report it again? Should I just dispute and only DV if it remians from now on?

It could come back up but, if you have already received a new report and it states that the account has been deleted, the CA didn't verify.

They could report again, but reinsertion of a previously deleted account is held to a higher standard of proof and you must be notified within 5 days, I think.

Yup...nascar's right.
