A collection account is one of the most damaging entries that can appear on your credit report — and it can drop your score by 100 points or more. Our collection removal service disputes inaccurate, unverifiable, and time-barred collection entries across all three major credit bureaus, working to clear your record and restore your financial standing.
When a debt goes unpaid, the original creditor may sell it to a third-party debt collection agency. That agency then reports a collection account on your credit report, which can remain for up to 7 years from the original delinquency date. Even a single collection account can severely limit your ability to get approved for housing, car loans, and credit cards.
Our credit specialists analyze every collection on your report and build targeted dispute letters to challenge entries that are:
We dispute directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and communicate directly with collection agencies when necessary. Every dispute is monitored through resolution, and we follow up aggressively until negative items are removed or corrected.
Collection removal typically produces some of the largest score improvements of any credit repair action. Clients who have collections successfully removed often see score gains of 50–150 points, depending on the number of collections and the rest of their credit profile.
Can paid collections be removed from my credit report?
Yes. Paid collections are still damaging and can still be disputed. If the collection is inaccurate or unverifiable, it can be removed regardless of whether it has been paid.
Does paying a collection account improve my credit?
Under most scoring models, paying a collection does not significantly raise your score unless it is removed entirely. Our goal is full removal, not just updating the status to “paid.”
How long does the collection removal process take?
Most disputes are resolved within 30–45 days. Cases involving multiple bureaus or direct negotiations with collection agencies may take 60–90 days.
