Anytime a debt is sent to collections you should verify the info, make sure the debt is yours, and learn when (& how) you can dispute the record. These three steps may save your credit score & you can make them easier w/help from Credit Glory.

Can a creditor send your debt to collections w/o notice?

If you owe a debt to a creditor, they can send it to collections at any time. Unfortunately, they aren't required to notify you — creating a nasty surprise when you check your credit score. What can you do? Check your credit report regularly and, if you find any inaccurate info, dispute it! (& Credit Glory can help)

Your top 3 next steps after debt is sent to collections (with or without notice)

If your debt is sent to collections (whether you were notified or not) you have options to protect yourself  — & your score.

Verify the information is accurate

If the creditor didn't report your info correctly, there's a good chance you can dispute the negative item on your credit report. How often is inaccurate info reported? The FTC estimates that 20% of credit reports contain negative items that are reported incorrectly. Common info that is reported incorrectly includes:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Dates associated with debt

If you find that any item on this list is inaccurate, it's your right to dispute them and hold the creditor accountable. The easiest way to dispute? Trust an expert, like Credit Glory, to help guide you through the process.

Make sure the debt is yours before you pay it

Before paying any debts you need to verify it's actually yours. If a collector is holding you responsible for a debt you don't owe, it's your right to hold them accountable for inaccurate reporting. The benefit? Removing negative items can help save you from ridiculous interest rates.  

Learn how to dispute (& how Credit Glory can help)

The next step is learning how to dispute the negative item if it's inaccurate. You can dispute it on your own (a lengthy & difficult process). The easier way? Let an expert like Credit Glory automate the dispute (saving you time & headache).

What if you were notified & the collections notice is accurate?

If the info is reported accurately, the debt is yours, & you can't dispute the collections record  — what can you do? A great place to start is working on what you can control and repair your credit (increasing your score). What is credit repair? Credit repair starts with disputing any other inaccurate items on your credit report.

What's your easiest way to dispute collections: DIY or w/ Help? (& who can help)
