Frequently Asked Questions

Debt collection usually means your debt has been written off by the primary holder and transferred to another company for pursuing the debt. Unfortunately, by the time the debt reaches this point your credit report is seriously affected. In addition, collection companies are famous for sometimes using unsavory tactics to reclaim the money.

It is almost always better to renegotiate your debt either on your own or through a debt consolidation agency rather than having the debt go to collections. In many cases debt collection precludes a debt being paid off with concessions from the creditor because now the collection company must get their commission.
