Who is Frontier Collections?
Frontier Collections is the collections department of Frontier Communications, a telecommunications company based in Norfolk, Connecticut. When customers fail to pay their bills, Frontier Communications may assign their unpaid accounts to Frontier Collections.
As a result, individuals may find Frontier Communications listed as a collections account on their credit reports. This indicates an outstanding debt that needs to be resolved.
How can I remove Frontier Communications from my credit report?
Collection accounts can impact your credit score for up to seven years, so it’s essential to address them promptly. To remove collections from your report, start by disputing any errors related to the account with the credit bureaus.
If the information is accurate, consider negotiating a “pay-for-delete” agreement, where you offer payment in exchange for the account’s removal. Another option is to work with a credit repair service that specializes in challenging collections.

Should I contact or pay Frontier Collections?
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 Credit reports can contain errors or list debts that are no longer valid.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 Frontier Collections is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Frontier Collections on behalf of their clients.
Will Frontier Collections sue me or garnish my wages?
Frontier Collections can initiate a lawsuit if their attempts to collect the debt are unsuccessful. If they obtain a judgment in their favor, they may pursue wage garnishment or levy your bank accounts to satisfy the outstanding debt.
However, it’s important to note that legal action and wage garnishment are typically considered as last resorts. Prior to pursuing such measures, they will typically explore options for negotiation, payment plans, or settlements.
