Who is Sprint Collections?
Sprint was an American telecommunications company that merged with T-Mobile on April 1, 2020. They were headquartered located in Overland Park, Kansas.
You may see them listed on your credit report as a collections account. This can happen if you owe a creditor money and they’ve hired someone to collect that money.
Sprint Collection Accounts
A Sprint collection account can hurt your credit score and remain on your credit report for up to 7 years regardless of whether you pay it or not. Unfortunately, paying the collection could even lower your credit score.
However, it is possible to have it removed before 7 years and you may not even have to pay it.
(Debt collectors prefer that we didn’t tell you this, but it’s something you should know.)
Lexington Law is a credit repair company that helps people fix their credit. You may not even have to pay any of the debts on your credit report.
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.

How Sprint Collections Hurt Your Credit
If you have one or more collections listed on your credit report, this can seriously ding your FICO score. Your payment history accounts for 35% of your credit score because lenders want to see that you have a history of paying bills on time.
Most creditors will eventually send you to collections if you don’t pay your bill. But in our experience, cell phone bills are one of the most common unpaid bills to be sent to collections. So if you recently had a Sprint bill sent to a collection agency, this article will show you what your next steps are.
