To remove a bad credit mark due to a debt going to collections you must dispute it. A dispute is filled directly with the credit bureaus.
You will have to create a dispute letter and send it to each credit bureau. In your letter you have to say what mark you are disputing and give a reason as to why that mark is inaccurate.
You will have to send a copy of this letter to each credit bureau. Upon receipt of your letter the bureaus will conduct an investigation into the dispute.
It is common for investigations to result in the deletion of a mark. This is because most lenders and collection agencies are unwilling to spend the resources verifying uncollectible debts.
If your debt is verified then a credit repair service can really be helpful. They can use advanced dispute techniques such as; debt validation, escalated dispute information requests and creditor direct intervention to remove a negative mark.
What is a collection?
A collection is a lenders last resort to collect on a delinquent account. Typically your account will go to collections after 6 months of delinquency.
Most lenders have some form of in house collection. However many also will use an outside collection agency and/or sell your account.
These agencies will purchase your debt for a fraction of the balance or they will work together with a lender. This means they will collect on behalf of the lender and receive a percentage of all the money they collect.
You should know that if you just pay a collection then the mark will remain on your credit report. It will change the status of the mark but it will still be seen as a negative item by potential lenders.
In sum you can remove collections and bad credit marks on your credit report. You do not have to wait 7 years for the mark to expire. - 15224
