Should I contact or pay FEDChex Recovery?
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 debt, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.
The most effective way to deal with FEDChex is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like FEDChex on behalf of their clients.
Will FEDChex Recovery sue me or garnish my wages?
FEDChex Recovery, LLC is entitled to sue you in court if you fail to pay a legitimate debt. If they decide to take legal action and they successfully obtain a court judgment against you, they may then have the ability to garnish your wages or levy your bank account, subject to your state’s laws.
However, it’s important to understand that suing a debtor is often seen as a last resort by many collection agencies. The process can be costly and time-consuming, and they may prefer to work out a payment plan or debt settlement agreement with you.
FEDChex 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). These rights include the ability to dispute credit reporting errors and to be treated fairly and respectfully by debt collectors.
