One Collection Account Can Erase Years of On-Time Payments

Only one unpaid bill that is sent to collections can result in a negative credit score impact of over one hundred points, and the negative impact does not stop there. Collections, once reported to Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion, can negatively report for seven years, even if you have paid the collection account.

It is especially frustrating that collections still negatively impact credit scores even after they have been paid.
A collection account that has been paid still impacts credit scoring in a negative manner for a significant period of time.
Collection accounts are frequently reported incorrectly.
Collection accounts are frequently reported with incorrect dates, incorrect amounts, or reporting for an amount that was never due.
Collections are sometimes sold multiple times, resulting in multiple reporting of the original debt.

If you did any research to learn how to get collections reported to the credit bureaus removed, you are probably familiar with the numerous challenges and time delays. Most people quit the process prior to successful completion because the process is so burdensome and time-intensive to complete without assistance.

How We Target and Remove Collection Accounts

Heads Up Financials does not submit the same dispute letter to every bureau and hope one sticks. Every collection account is individually assessed to ensure the accounts are reported within the framework of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Validation Challenges: requiring the collector to validate that the debt is accurate and complete and is legally their debt to collect.
Bureau-level Disputes: challenging collection accounts that are unverified or reported unfairly.
Negotiated Resolutions: documented pay-for-delete negotiations
Ongoing Monitoring: ensuring collection accounts are removed

This is the framework of our Phoenix Plan to address collections from all three bureaus for charge-offs, collections, repossessions, and medical bills.

No credit repair firm can legally guarantee the removal of verified, accurate debt - and we will tell you that. What we can guarantee is an audit of your report and a dispute specialist working every legal avenue.

Common Questions About Removing Collections

Can you legally remove my collection?

No credit repair company is legally able to make the promise to remove accurate collections. What we are able to promise is that every collection that qualifies for a dispute will be reviewed thoroughly and will go through the maximum allowable dispute process.

Does this negatively affect my credit score?

Disputing collections does not affect your credit score, and reviewing your collections does not count against you as a hard pull.

If it is accurate, what is the point?

We are always honest about the removal potential of a collection. We recommend negotiations to settle for less or deletion in a pay-to-delete situation.

How long does this take?

The bureaus are required to complete an investigation in 30 days (up to 45 with additional supporting documents). Full resolution takes many months.

Heads Up Financials Improve Your Credit Score

Collections, charge-offs, and late payments all negatively impact your credit score. Most importantly, they can make creditors hesitant to loan money (if not flat-out refuse). Our Credit Repair services help with each of these credit concerns across all three credit bureaus. Better yet, our Phoenix, Legacy, and Dynasty VIP Plans provide you with a comprehensive roadmap to repair your credit and not just a band-aid fix.

Control Your Credit

It's important to take control of your credit and not let collection accounts dictate your borrowing terms. An unresolved collection account will continue to hurt your credit for as long as it sits on your credit report. Learn about how collection accounts are reported.
