Should I contact or pay Allied Collection Service?
It’s best to avoid speaking to a debt collector 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 Allied Collection Service is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Allied Collection Service on behalf of their clients.
Will Allied Collection Service sue me or garnish my wages?
Allied Collection Service does have the legal right to sue you in court for the debt that you owe.
If they win the lawsuit and obtain a judgment, they might garnish your wages. They could also seize funds from your bank accounts or place a lien on your property, depending on state laws.
However, initiating legal action is generally considered a last resort due to the costs and time-consuming nature of court proceedings. Most debt collection agencies prefer to establish a payment plan or settle the debt for a lesser amount before resorting to legal action.
