AFS Acceptance

Who is AFS Acceptance?

AFS Acceptance, LLC, which is now known as Credito Real USA Finance, LLC, is a company that specializes in subprime auto financing. They are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Their business model focuses on providing auto loan services to both franchise and independent car dealers, often catering to customers who have lower credit scores. This means they often work with individuals who may have difficulty getting financing through traditional lenders due to their credit history.

If you see AFS Acceptance or Credito Real USA Finance listed on your credit report as a collections account, it likely means you have defaulted on an auto loan that was initially issued by them.

Is AFS Acceptance legit or a scam?

AFS Acceptance is a legitimate company. They are authorized to collect debts on behalf of their clients. However, if you are contacted by them regarding an alleged debt, you should take steps to verify the debt before making any payments.

How can I remove AFS Acceptance from my credit report?

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 AFS Acceptance?

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

Will AFS Acceptance sue me or garnish my wages?

AFS Acceptance (now known as Credito Real USA Finance), like other lenders and debt collectors, does have the authority to take legal action against borrowers who default on their loans. This could potentially include filing a lawsuit to recover the unpaid debt.

If the court rules in their favor and a judgment is issued against you, they may then be able to garnish your wages or levy your bank account, depending on the laws of your specific state. However, it’s worth noting that these actions are typically seen as last resort measures, and it’s generally in the interest of both parties to work out a payment plan or some form of settlement before it reaches this point.
