How likely is it a debt collector will take you to court? (& how often)

On average, debt collectors take debtors to court around 15% of the time. The worse news? When they do, you often have to pay litigation fees and may be stuck with a judgment and a collections record on your report. The good news? In certain circumstances, you may be able to avoid court — and Credit Glory may be able to help!

Can you avoid being taken to court for your debts?

You can avoid court IF debt collectors are reporting info inaccurately.

Common incorrect info includes:

  • Names and addresses
  • The reported balance
  • Duplicate records
  • Delinquency dates

If one (or more) items on this list aren't right, you can dispute their claim — and Credit Glory's experience can make it a lot easier!

Could your negative items (like claims from debt collectors) be reported inaccurately?

Unfortunately, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stated that 20% of all reports contain (at least) 1 error! The penalty for negative items is a damaged credit score, which can wreak havoc on your financial future. How can you protect yourself? Your best weapon to hold creditors accountable is a dispute. That's where a credit repair expert (like Credit Glory) can make the process super easy.

What if you can't dispute b/c the collections account is reported correctly? (your best option)

Even if the claims from one debt collector are reported correctly, with 1 in 5 odds, it's likely something else isn't. Double-check any other negative items on your credit report for errors. That way, if you find any, you can start rebuilding your credit by disputing them. If you're not comfortable identifying inaccurate info (& it can be tricky) consider help from an expert — like Credit Glory.
