Should I contact or pay Capio Partners?

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.

It’s possible, but if you work with a credit repair company like Lexington Law, you have nothing to worry about. They help you dispute the Capio Partners debt with the three major credit bureaus and possibly get it removed from your credit report. It’s also quite possible that you will never hear from or have to deal with Capio Partners again.

Wage Garnishment

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

Is Capio Partners hurting my credit score?

Any derogatory item on your credit report, including a collections account, may harm your credit score.

Debt collectors often buy and sell debt from one another. This can lead to multiple collections on your credit report for the same account.

To get an account removed, you must file a separate dispute with each credit bureau; Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, or it can negatively impact your credit score.

Capio Partners, LLC Complaints

Most collection agencies have numerous complaints filed against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Most consumer complaints are about inaccurate reporting, harassment, or failure to verify a debt. If you find yourself facing any of these situations with Capio Partners, you should also consider filing a complaint.

You have many consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These rights include the ability to dispute credit reporting errors and to be treated fairly and respectfully by debt collectors.

Your Rights When Dealing with Capio Partners, LLC

Debt collectors must abide by state and federal laws in the United States. For example, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits a debt collection agency from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices. In addition, the FDCPA provides you with many rights to ensure that collection agencies don’t take advantage of you. In particular:

It is a violation of federal law for Capio Partners to report inaccurate or incomplete information about you.
You have a legal right to request debt validation on an alleged debt. Upon sending them a debt validation letter, Capio Partners must prove to you, within 30 days, that the account is really your responsibility and the amount of money you owe is accurate.
Capio Partners may not threaten or harass you, call you repeatedly, swear at you, or publicly publish a list of debtors.
Capio Partners must be honest about who they are and what they are attempting to do. They must notify you that they are a debt collection agency both orally and in writing.
Capio Partners cannot threaten to have you arrested or imprisoned over unpaid debts.

: Avoid the phone. Never talk to a debt collector on the phone. The less they know about you, the better.

Politely tell Capio Partners it’s your policy to deal with everything in writing. Ask for a letter with details about the original debt, then hang up. If they keep calling, send them a cease and desist letter.

Record their calls. If you must deal with a debt collector on the phone, consider recording the conversation. In 35 states and D.C., it’s legal to secretly record phone calls. In the other 15 states, you can record with the other party’s permission. Simply informing the collector of your intention to record may count as permission.

Don’t believe what they say. Debt collectors are notorious for resorting to false threats, deceitful tactics, and any means necessary to coerce you into settling your outstanding debt.

Don’t attempt to hide money. Hiding money or assets from a legitimate debt collector is illegal if you owe them. However, bank account and credit card information should be kept private.

Don’t ignore them. You can do things on your terms, but ignoring the situation will not make Capio Partners go away. Ignoring them sets you up for a possible lawsuit.

Know Your State’s Statute of Limitations. Each state has a statute of limitations on debt. Once your debt reaches a certain age, it is considered “zombie debt,” and you are no longer legally obligated to pay it. Age limits vary by state, but it’s typically 4 to 6 years.

A debt collection company is still allowed to contact you about these debts, but they can no longer sue you for them, and you are not required to pay them.
