What is a "Collections"?
After you miss a few payments on a debt, a creditor may send your account to a third-party company, or "debt collector" to try and recover the debt.
When the account is sent over, the creditor may report a "collections" listing with the credit bureau, which will then appear on the credit report.
An example of a collections listing on a credit report:
Disputing a collections listing is your right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You can do this by yourself, or by using a credit restoration service, like Lexington Law. The credit bureaus don't like doing work they don't profit from, so they've kept on top of stall tactics that keep most consumers from continuing with a dispute if they hit a snag.
