Who is Americollect?
Americollect is a debt collection agency in the US. You may see them listed on your credit report as a collections account. This can happen if you owe a creditor money and they’ve hired someone to collect that money.
Collection accounts on your credit report can hurt your credit score. In fact, collections can remain on your credit report for up to 7 years. Even if you pay it in full, it’s still considered a negative account and will stay on your credit report as a “paid collection” for 7 years.
Unfortunately, paying the collection may even lower your credit score.
However, it is possible to have it removed before 7 years and you may not even have to pay it.
(Debt collectors prefer that we didn’t tell you this, but it’s something you should know.)
Lexington Law may be able to help you fix your credit and you may not even have to pay any of the debts on your credit report.
