How to Remove a Collection Account from Your Credit Report

If an error was made that led to a collection account being listed on your credit report, then there is a chance that you can have it removed. However, if there was no mistake, you may probably have to wait for seven years since chances of removing it are slim.

Even so, you can always try by following these steps:

1. Go Through Your Credit Reports

Get your credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com and go through it to check for errors. You may also have to check your other credit reports if there is a collection account that you are worried about.

2. Check Whether the Account is Legitimate

Check whether the account listed is from a debt that you owe. Most of the time, errors are made, and consumers are listed on accounts they don't even owe.

3. Take Action

If there are legitimate errors, you can take the following actions:

File a dispute with a credit bureau to remove the account
Call the AAMS collection and ask for goodwill deletion if you have already paid the debts
Avoid taking action and just wait for seven years to lapse. Collection accounts are removed from credit reports after they become delinquent, even if you didn't pay the debts
