Can a debt collector report a disputed item to a credit bureau?

mindthetwine asked:


I received a letter from a debt collection agency this past December. Because I did not recognize the debt, I disputed the item and asked for detail on what the debt was for (in December). I never received a response and followed-up in February, to which I also received no response. About three weeks ago, I sent a certified letter requesting the same information and have yet to hear from the agency. Then, I noticed on my credit report last week that they have reported this debt. Can they do this? Do I have any remedies under the law?
