How can I remove Credit Management Company from my credit report?

However, it is possible to remove a collection account from your credit history before seven years.
(Debt collectors prefer that we didn’t tell you this, but it’s something you should know.)

Wage Garnishment
Some states allow wage garnishment, while others do not. It is important to note that 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 Credit Management Company to make any claims they cannot or will not follow through on—this includes threatening to sue you or foreclose on your home.
Credit Management Company 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 a debt collector is harassing you, you may want to consider filing a complaint.
You have many consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Lexington Law knows that you have rights, and Credit Management Company does too.
Your Rights When Dealing with Credit Management Company
There are strict regulations about what a collection agency can and cannot do in the United States.

- Credit Management Company may not threaten or harass you, call you repeatedly, swear at you, or publicly publish a list of debtors.
