Who is Professional Choice Recovery, Inc.?
Professional Choice Recovery, Inc. (PCRI) is a debt collection agency located in Lincoln, Nebraska. They collect debts for companies in the education, financial, and healthcare industries.
You may see them listed on your credit report as a collections account. This can happen when you forget to pay a bill.
How can I remove Professional Choice Recovery 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.
(Debt collectors prefer that we didn’t tell you this, but it’s something you should know.)
Lexington Law is a professional credit repair company that helps people fix their credit.
In addition to collections, Lexington Law will help you challenge (and possibly remove) other inaccurate information from your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, judgments, tax liens, and bankruptcies.

Should I contact or pay Professional Choice Recovery?
Nothing good can come from speaking to a collection agency on the phone. And making payments on the collection account will reset the clock. So instead of helping your credit, it could make it worse.

The best way to handle this is to work with a professional credit repair service. They have deleted millions of negative items from companies like Professional Choice Recovery, Inc. for millions of clients nationwide.
And they can help you too.
Will Professional Choice Recovery sue me or garnish my wages?
It’s possible, but if you work with a law firm like Lexington Law, you have nothing to worry about. They will help you dispute the collection account and possibly remove it from your credit report. It’s also quite possible that you will never hear from or have to deal with Professional Choice Recovery, Inc. again.
