How can I remove Acceptance Now Collections from my credit report?

Acceptance Now collections can hurt your credit score and remain on your credit report for up to seven years regardless of whether you pay it or not. Unfortunately, paying the collection could even lower your credit score.

However, it is possible to remove a collection account from your credit history before seven years.

(While debt collectors may not want this information to be widely known, it’s your right to be informed.)

Professional credit repair services work with people who want to get their credit back on track.

In addition to collections, they can help you to challenge other inaccurate, unfair, or unsubstantiated information on your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, bankruptcies, and more.

Should I contact or pay Acceptance Now Collections?

You may want to contact AcceptanceNOW customer service to see if you can work something out with the company. However, in general, speaking to a debt collection agency on the phone once they’ve reported you to the credit bureaus.

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 Acceptance Now collections is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Acceptance Now Collections on behalf of their clients.

Will Acceptance Now Collections sue me or garnish my wages?

Acceptance Now Collections does have the legal right to sue for unpaid debts. If a lawsuit is filed and they win the case, they may be able to garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, or place a lien on your property to collect the amount owed, depending on state laws.

However, it’s important to remember that lawsuits are generally considered a last resort due to the time, cost, and effort involved. In most cases, Acceptance Now Collections would likely prefer to work with debtors to establish a feasible payment plan or negotiate a settlement agreement.
