Dealing with Unpaid Collections

Unpaid collections can have a negative impact on your credit score, and there are steps you can take to address them.

Understand Your Situation

The first step to dealing with collections is to understand the situation. If you are facing collections, you will want to make sure it is something you owe before taking any action. Once you are certain the legitimacy of the collection, you can move ahead with addressing it.

Pay the Collection

Unless the collection is being falsely attributed to you, pay it. The collection is likely already hurting your credit score and leaving it unpaid could only make the damage worse.
