If debt from a collection agency like is on your credit report, it can have an impact on your credit for up to seven years. The only way to prevent you from getting any future loans or credit is to remove the collection from your credit report.
Here's what you need to do to remove Credit Control Corporation from your credit report.
Get All the Communication in Writing.
When dealing with Credit Control Corporation, the first step is to request that all communications are in writing via certified mail. Communicating in writing prevents them from contacting you too often. It also prevents them from making false promises over the phone and not following through.
Ask Them for a Goodwill Deletion.
If you've already paid the debt, you may be able to get a goodwill deletion. A goodwill deletion is when a collection agency deletes an entry from your credit report out of generosity. Getting a goodwill deletion will work if you've already paid the debt and have a clean credit report. If they see that this debt was just an isolated incident, they'll more likely remove the entry from your credit report.
Send a Debt Validation Letter.
If you can't get a goodwill deletion, your next step is to request debt validation. Through the debt validation process, you may be able to have the debt deleted from your report due to inaccurate information. You can send a debt validation request letter to Credit Control Corporation to verify the debt. A debt validation letter asks them to confirm the details of your debt, such as the name, amount of the debt, and date it was acquired. You must send this letter within 30 days after Credit Control Corporation contacts you about this debt. If you don't, they may not respond to your request.
Ask For a Pay-For-Delete Agreement.
If everything else fails, you may be able to make a pay-for-delete agreement. A pay-for-delete agreement is if you agree to pay a portion of your debt in exchange for Credit Control Corporation to stop reporting the debt. If you can work out a deal, get the agreement in writing. That's why it's essential to communicate in writing.
