How to Boost Your Credit Score by Removing Bonneville Collections From Your Credit Report

Having a good credit score opens the door to financial independence. Whether you are applying for a credit card, trying to get a mortgage, or buying a new car, the first thing lenders look at is your credit score.

If you have a Bonneville Collections account on your credit history, it could significantly drag down your credit score. Higher interest rates and declined credit applications have become more common for consumers with lower scores.

DoNotPay can show you how to improve your credit score and help remove late payments and inquiries from your credit report.

What is Bonneville Collections?

Bonneville Collections is a certified debt recovery expert that has been pursuing consumers for the payment of outstanding debt since 1980.

The third-party collection agency works on behalf of a variety of industries. If Bonneville Collections appears on your credit report, you most likely have a past due account from one of the following entities:

• Bank or Other Financial Institution
• Commercial Loan
• Unpaid Medical Bills
• Utility Companies (specifically Portland General Electric)
• Government

The primary Bonneville Collections phone number is +1(800) 660-6138. Representatives are available Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 9 PM MST, Friday 8 AM to 5 PM MST, and Saturday 8 AM to 12 PM MST. There is also an option to fill out a form or connect with live chat on the website for further assistance.

How to Remove a Bonneville Collections Account From Your Credit Report On Your Own

Getting a Bonneville Collections account removed from your credit history is a difficult task, although not impossible. Often, if no action is taken on your part, the negative rating can stay on your credit report for as long as seven years.

There are several ways to get results:

1. Send a Debt Validation Letter: The first step is to request Bonneville Collections validate the debt. According to the policies outlined in the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act (FDCPA), a collection agency has 30 days to verify the debt belongs to you. If they cannot present proof, the entry must be removed from your credit report, putting an end to the annoying phone calls.
2. Send a Credit Dispute Letter: If you are sure the Bonneville Collections account does not belong to you, contact the three major credit bureaus to dispute the entry. A claim will be started on your behalf. If the collection agency cannot prove the debt is yours, the entry will be removed, positively affecting your credit score.
3. Make a Settlement Offer: Once the debt is validated, you can make a settlement offer. Often, Bonneville Collections will accept payment for less than what is owed. If you go this route, make a written request that the debt collector remove the account from your credit report.
