When I worked in debt management they told us it is 7 years from the last time the lender had any type of person to person communication with you about the debt. the second you talk to the lender about the debt again that 7 year clock starts all over again. Bottom line don't call the lender you owe the money too, and screen all your calls so you know who is calling before you speak to them.

Is it more effective to challenge inaccurate credit information via the reporting agency or each individual creditor?

As much as I hate to say it, as it makes more work for collection agencies, dispute inaccurate information with the bureau it is listed with. They require the reporting agencies to at least mark the information disputed. In addition to that, agencies must have proof of debt, and must respond to the bureau. Bureaus are a pain and they love the hold function on their phones, but are effective if you have the patience.

What is the difference between an information architecture and an information technology infrastructure?

Information Architecture is a field and approach to designing clear, understandable communications by giving care to structure, context, and presentation of data and information. Particularly refers to websites and intranets, including labelling and navigation schemes. An information technology infrastructure however, is the base or foundation for the delivery of information to support programs and management (of an agency for example). The infrastructure contains elements upon which an agency's information technology activities are dependent. An agency must therefore define, implement, and manage these infrastructure elements to successfully employ information technology.

What information does a collection agency need to ruin your credit?

A collection agency does not "ruin" someone's credit. The person who defaults on their financial obligations is the one who is responsible for that. W/o certain information it is difficult for a debt to be collected or reported to CRA's. Agencies employ skip tracers who are very good at tracking down elusive debtors, so eventually they will track down the person.
