Who is Zealandia Capital?
Zealandia Capital, Inc. is a debt collection agency based in Asheville, North Carolina. They are in the business of collecting unpaid debts on behalf of various entities.

Who does Zealandia Capital collect for?
Zealandia Capital works with a variety of businesses across several industries, including but not limited to credit card companies, banks, retail businesses, and loan providers.

Is Zealandia Capital legit or a scam?
Zealandia Capital, Inc. is a legitimate company. However, their persistent communication methods, which can include repeated phone calls, texts, or emails, can often be perceived as intrusive or as spam. Despite these practices, they are a legitimate business.
How can I remove Zealandia Capital 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.
(While debt collectors may not want this information to be widely known, it’s your right to be informed.)

Should I contact or pay Zealandia Capital, Inc.?
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 Zealandia Capital chooses to sue and wins a judgement against you, they may be legally allowed to garnish your wages, depending on the laws in your state.
