What is American Web Loan?

American Web Loan (AWL) is an Oklahoma-based lending entity that offers various loan products to qualified applicants. If you take out an AWL loan and become delinquent on the account, you may see the lender listed on your credit report as a collections account.

What Should I Look For On My Credit Report?

Essentially, the credit report should contain the following information:

1. Date of collection
2. Date of the original invoice
3. Account information
4. Amount of debt
5. Original creditor name
6. Address where the original creditor sent correspondence

A debt validation letter will help validate the amount owed on your AWL collection account. The letter will prove that the company has legal standing to collect the money due. It will also include a statement explaining why they believe you owe them money. The letter must be sent within five days of the first contact.
