Who is Trellis Company?

Trellis Company, formerly Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit student loan guarantor located in Round Rock, Texas.

Trellis was chosen by the US Department of Education as one of the five companies to service federal student loans. Trellis has been working with FFEL student loan borrowers for nearly 40 years.

You may see Trellis Company listed on your credit report as a collections account. This can happen if you have defaulted student loans.

How can I remove Trellis Company from my credit report?

Trellis 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 Trellis Company?

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 collection account, especially if it’s new, and you’re certain that it’s legit.

However, if your student loans are not yet in default, you can try to contact Trellis Company and work out a repayment plan.

Otherwise, the most effective way to deal with Trellis Company is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Trellis Company on behalf of their clients.

Will Trellis Company sue me or garnish my wages?

Yes, Trellis Company, like any other debt collection agency dealing with defaulted student loans, can potentially sue you or garnish your wages to recover the debt. However, this is generally considered a last resort and typically, they will first try to work out a payment plan with you. If you’re facing this situation, it’s advisable to seek legal counsel to understand your rights and options.
