CloudsCreditRepair™ FAQ

What is a collection account?

A collection account is a debt that has been transferred or sold to a third-party collector after the original creditor stopped pursuing it.

Explanation

Collection tradelines appear separately from the original account and remain on the report for seven years from the original delinquency date.

Paid collections still show on the report, but many newer scoring models (FICO® 9, VantageScore® 3.0+) ignore paid collections under certain conditions.

Examples
  • Medical bill sold to a collection agency
  • Old utility bill in collections
  • Resold credit card debt held by a debt buyer
