How many times can the same debt be placed on your credit report?

I have had the same "debt" put on my credit report by the original lender, a collection agency over 2 years ago and now a brand new collection agency. I questioned the original debt on my report and they removed it, and now, it has obviously been sold to another collection agency who has put it back on my file. The original debt wasn't even mine, it was my husbands so I don't even know how it is getting on my file. If it helps, I live in Ontario, Canada.

How many times can the same debt be placed on your credit report?
I guess it has your name on it, so as far as anyone else is concerned, it is yours.





You will have to go through the same process as the first time to get this item removed.
Reply:You must always be careful with credit cards, car loans, mortgages and debt consolidation. Persoanlly, I was in debt of over $100,000 at one point in time, roughly 4 years ago. I am proud to say I am now DEBT FREE. It is very confusing on what to pay first how to chop down your debt, but there is a lot of good content out there to help. I have also started my own blog to help people out by talking about what I think is important. Check it out sometime!

Reply:Explain the situation in writing to the credit reporting agency. Since it was taken off before it should be taken off this time. It will show up as many times as the collection agencies report it.
Reply:In most places , being married means joint finance responsibility .


If you were married , You are probably legally responsible .





Unless you can prove that you had already filed for divorce at the time the debt was incurred


And published a note in 3 newspapers saying that


" I ( jane doe ) will no longer be responsible for any of my spouse's ( john doe ) debt from this day forward " .





Had you filed for divorce and did you publish the Not Responsible Notice ?

Reply:The best thing to do is get a free online copy of your credit report by going to experians website. On the form you can dispute the debt and the company may remove it. It may come off on its own after several years but there is no limit to how many times and can be re-reported
