Asset Acceptance

Who is Asset Acceptance?

Asset Acceptance, LLC, also known as Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. and Encore Capital Group, Inc., is a debt collection agency based in Warren, Michigan. They specialize in purchasing and managing charged-off consumer debt portfolios.

If you have an unresolved debt, you may see Asset Acceptance listed on your credit report as a collections account, indicating they now own your debt.

Who does Asset Acceptance collect for?

Asset Acceptance is a debt buyer and collector of charged-off consumer debt. They collect debt for credit card issuers, consumer finance companies, retail merchants, utility companies, and others.

Is Asset Acceptance legit or a scam?

Asset Acceptance is a legitimate debt collection company. However, their communication methods can often be persistent and include frequent calls, texts, or emails in their attempt to recover the debt.

How can I remove Asset Acceptance from my credit report?

Collections can hurt your credit score and stay on your credit report for up to seven years, even if you pay them. Paying the collection might even lower your credit score.

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

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

Professional credit repair services assist people in getting their credit back on track.

They can help challenge inaccurate, unfair, or unsubstantiated information on your credit report, including collections, inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, bankruptcies, and more.

Should I contact or pay Asset Acceptance?

Before contacting a collection agency, verify that the debt is legitimate and accurately reported. Credit reports can contain errors or list debts that are no longer valid. Also, be aware that making payments on a debt can reset the clock and potentially harm your credit.

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

Will Asset Acceptance sue me or garnish my wages?

Asset Acceptance could potentially sue or garnish your wages as a way to collect outstanding debts. However, such actions are typically a last resort and depend on various factors, including the size of the debt, the state laws where you reside, and whether the debt is within the statute of limitations.

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 Asset Acceptance to make any claims they cannot or will not follow through on. This includes threatening to sue you or foreclose on your home.
