Be ready for a back-and-forth process. You can send payment once you receive that letter. Wait 30 days, then obtain updated credit reports. This will be especially important if you are threatened with legal action, like a court judgment. Many times just having the law firm contact the collection agency is enough to get them to be more willing to negotiate a settlement. Unfortunately, the first time many consumers find out about a collection account is when it appears on a credit report. That almost always happens when making an application for a loan or credit card.
Other times, a notification arrives in the form of a letter or a phone call from the collection agency. If that happens, stay calm, ask questions, but provide no information. Get a copy of your credit reports and familiarize yourself with your rights under federal law. Make the collection agency verify complete information about the amount they claim you owe. But if you do owe the debt, work to settle it for less than the full amount owed. If you want to learn more strategies for dealing with collection agencies, or if you have multiple collection accounts to deal with, check out our article, How to Remove Collections From Your Credit Report , for a more comprehensive strategy for dealing with collection accounts.
