USAA Collections

Who is USAA?

United Services Automobile Association, commonly known as USAA, is a financial services group based in San Antonio, Texas. Established in 1922 by a group of U.S. Army officers, it was initially created to provide mutual self-insurance for its members. Since then, it has grown exponentially and now serves millions of military personnel and their families across the country.

USAA offers a comprehensive suite of financial products and services. This includes insurance services, spanning from auto and home insurance to life and health insurance. They also offer banking services, ranging from checking and savings accounts to certificates of deposit. In addition, they provide credit cards and auto loans, helping members manage their finances and purchase vehicles.

You may see USAA listed on your credit report as a collections account. This typically happens when a bill or a loan payment has been neglected, and the account was transferred to USAA’s collection department.

How can I remove USAA Collections from my credit report?

USAA 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 USAA?

Before contacting a collection agency, verify that the debt is legitimate and accurately reported. Sometimes, credit reports contain errors or list debts that are no longer valid. Also, be aware that making payments on a debt can reset the clock. As a result, it could harm your credit rather than improve it.

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

Will USAA sue me or garnish my wages?

USAA does have the ability to sue for unpaid debts. If they decide to pursue a lawsuit and the court rules in their favor, they could potentially garnish your wages or levy your bank account, depending on your state’s laws.

However, these legal actions are often a last resort. Before it reaches this stage, USAA typically offers multiple opportunities for you to arrange a payment plan or negotiate a settlement.

USAA Complaints

Most collection agencies have numerous complaints filed against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Most consumer complaints are about inaccurate reporting, harassment, or failure to verify a debt. If you find yourself facing any of these situations with USAA, you should also consider filing a complaint.

USAA currently has an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

You have many consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These rights include the ability to dispute credit reporting errors and to be treated fairly and respectfully by debt collectors.
