Who is TekCollect?

TekCollect, Inc. is a debt collection agency based in Columbus, Ohio. They work with businesses and organizations to help them recover outstanding payments and improve their bottom line.

If you see TekCollect listed on your credit report as a collections account, this usually means that you have an unpaid bill or debt that has been transferred to this agency for collection.

Who does TekCollect collect for?

While TekCollect may service various industries, they are notably specialized in medical debt collection. They work on behalf of hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, and other healthcare providers to collect unpaid bills. These unpaid bills may include hospital stays, surgeries, routine care, and other medical services.

Is Tek Collect legit or a scam?

Tek Collect is a legitimate company. They are authorized to collect debts on behalf of their clients. However, it’s important to verify any debts they claim you owe before making any payments.

How can I remove TekCollect from my credit report?

TekCollect 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.

(While debt collectors may not want this information to be widely known, it’s your right to be informed.)

Professional credit repair services work with people who want to get their credit back on track.

In addition to collections, they can help you to challenge other inaccurate, unfair, or unsubstantiated information on your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, bankruptcies, and more.

Should I contact or pay TekCollect?

It’s best to avoid speaking to a third-party 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 collection account, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.

The most effective way to deal with TekCollect is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Tek Collect on behalf of their clients.

Will Tek Collect sue me or garnish my wages?

TekCollect does have the legal right to sue you for unpaid debt. If they are successful in court and receive a judgment against you, they may be able to garnish your wages or take other actions to collect the debt, based on the laws of your state.

However, most collection agencies view lawsuits as a last resort due to the time, effort, and cost involved. They are generally more interested in working out some form of payment arrangement that works for both parties.

Tek Collect, Inc. Complaints

Most collection agencies have numerous complaints filed against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
