Should I contact or pay Ability Recovery Services?

It’s best to avoid speaking to a collection agency on the phone. And making payments on the debt will reset the clock. As a result, it could harm your credit rather than improve it. However, sometimes it’s better just to pay the collection account, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.

The most effective way to deal with Ability Recovery Services is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Ability Recovery Services on behalf of their clients.

Will Ability Recovery Services sue me or garnish my wages?

It’s possible, but if you work with a law firm like Lexington Law, you have nothing to worry about. They aid you in disputing the collection account with the credit bureaus, with the possibility of having it removed from your credit history. It’s also quite possible that you will never hear from or have to deal with Ability Recovery Services again.

Wage Garnishment

Some states allow wage garnishment, while others do not. If you are in a state that does not allow wage garnishment, it is illegal for a debt collector to threaten to garnish your wages.

It is also illegal for Ability Recovery Services to make any claims they cannot or will not follow through on. This includes threatening to sue you or foreclose on your home.

Is Ability Recovery Services hurting my credit score?

Any derogatory item on your credit report, including a collections account, may harm your credit score.

Debt collectors often buy and sell debt from one another. This can lead to multiple collections on your credit report for the same account.

To get an account removed, you must file a separate dispute with each credit bureau; Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, or it can negatively impact your credit score.

Ability Recovery Services Complaints

Most collection agencies have numerous complaints filed against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Most consumer complaints are about inaccurate reporting, harassing phone calls, or failure to verify a debt. If you find yourself facing any of these situations with Ability Recovery Services, you should also consider filing a complaint.

You have many consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These rights include the ability to dispute credit reporting errors and to be treated fairly and respectfully by debt collectors.

Your Rights When Dealing with Ability Recovery Services

Debt collectors must abide by state and federal laws in the United States.

• It is a violation of federal law for Ability Recovery Services to report inaccurate or incomplete information about you.
