Collections - how to protect yourself, understand what you are paying and more!

Your Credit Today

EEK! Did you get a collections call? Something unexpected on your credit report? We talk to people every day about collections!

Collection accounts stem from all sorts of unpaid bills, from medical and utility expenses to credit card debt. They can be managed internally or by third-party agencies, and knowing the difference is key when trying to sort things out.

When dealing with collection agencies, it's important to know your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). If you ever need to dispute a debt or negotiate a settlement, make sure to get everything in writing.

By staying informed, being proactive, and seeking professional advice when you need it, you've got this. With careful navigation and a plan, you'll be well on your way clearing your credit of collections.
