Who Is 314-669-7171 ?

314-669-7171 belongs to Credit Control. They’re a debt collector reporting a collection account on your credit report.

This can mean 2 things:

     
  1. They’ve purchased your debt from the original creditor (such as a credit card company), and they’re now calling you to collect that debt.
  2.

The worst part is you now have a collections account on your credit report, which will be hurting your score. It also lowers your chances of being approved for credit (at least with good interest rates).
