Is Brennan & Clark legit or a scam?
Brennan & Clark, Ltd. is a legitimate company. However, it’s not uncommon for them to make frequent contact attempts, including calls, texts, or emails, as part of their collection process.
How can I remove Brennan and Clark 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.)

Should I contact or pay Brennan & Clark?
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.

Will Brennan & Clark sue me or garnish my wages?
Brennan & Clark, like many debt collection agencies, has the legal authority to sue for unpaid debts. However, this is typically a last resort due to the time, cost, and resources involved in legal proceedings. If they do decide to sue and they win a judgement against you, they could potentially garnish your wages, but this depends on the laws in your specific state.
