previeously removed derogatory accouts

[kenstradamas]

if an account is removed from your credit report, can it reappear after a year or more has past?

[moneymatters]

Hmmm...interesting question, kenstradamas? Does anyone mind shedding some light on this subject?

Someone in my family is having this problem. She disputed an account on her credit report. As a result, the account was removed (approx. 7 months ago). However, the company is still hassling her to pay them.

Can the dispute go back on her credit report after being removed over 6 months ago?

Please advise.
