Who Is 888-469-4520 ?
888-469-4520 belongs to Consumer Portfolio Services Inc.. They’re a debt collector reporting a collection account on your credit report.
This can mean 2 things:
- 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.
- They don’t own the debt themselves, but are being paid to collect on behalf of another company.
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).
