Understanding the Impact of Debt Collection on Your Credit Score
Debt collections can have a serious impact on your credit score, resulting in it dropping by as much as 100 points or more. This can make obtaining credit – such as loans, credit cards and mortgages – difficult. Plus, the presence of collection accounts on your credit report can stay there for up to seven years, leading to lengthy damage to your credit profile.
Even if you pay off the debt, the collection will still appear on your credit report. That's because paying a debt in collections just changes its status from unpaid to paid but doesn't remove it from your report altogether. Therefore, you should address debt collection issues quickly and effectively so that you don't experience long-term negative impacts on your credit score.
