Remove Helvey Associates Off Your Credit Report With DoNotPay

It's crazy how much our credit scores matter in personal finance. Next to making it extremely hard to get future loans, a bad credit score can make it impossible to get contracts. It includes everything from approval for apartments to phone contracts and employment even. And to top it off, you have to deal with unrelenting calls from debt collector companies like Helvey Associates.

But what most people realize is that it is entirely possible to get rid of bad credit reports. Sure, it will take a fair amount of effort, time, and a general understanding of the processes involved, but it is perfectly achievable with the right person on your team.

Luckily, with the help of DoNotPay, you don't have to deal with the headache yourself. This article will show you all the fundamentals concerning credit reports and how DoNotPay can help clean your credit report in a jiffy.

What Does Helvey Associates Do?

Helvey Associates is a privately owned debt collection agency. Typically, they buy debts from creditors or loan companies (at a lower price) and then collect the true value of the loan themselves from the debtor.

With over 60 years in the game, you can trust they know a thing or two about collecting debts. Unfortunately, their wealth of knowledge is not so amusing when you're on the receiving end of their antics.

For starters, they have a ready team of employees dedicated to harassing you to honor your debt. Even worse, they can end up filing bad reports on your credit and hurting your total credit score.

Tricks Used by Credit Collectors

Some popular tactics credit collectors are notorious for include:

• Calling you constantly to follow up on the money owed
• Sending reminders to pay your pending balance
• Making illegitimate threats if you fail to pay

You have to understand that all these tactics are fair play to such companies. After all, they are legitimate businesses that need to make profits. Still, it can be extremely annoying to be called nonstop or have false reports on your credit score.

Also, some guidelines need to be followed when following up on debts. It is your right to contest any unfair debt accusation.

How to Know if You Even Owe a Debt

Before submitting to any debt collector's demands or beginning any negotiation process, you must confirm that you do indeed hold debt with the company. In this case, it means sending Helvey Associates a verification of debt letter.

Afterward, they'll need to provide satisfactory paperwork, clarifying the full details of your debt situation. Anything less will render you free from liability.

What Is a Debt Validation Letter?

It is a document written by a debtor to a creditor to request evidence that a debt is truly owed.

In response to the letter, the creditor should provide the details below:

1. Name of the debt holder
2. The date that the debt was issued
3. The total amount of the debt plus interest
4. Interest rates on the debt.
5. When the debt is (or was) due.

Thanks to the rate at which such debts switch hands, it is likely that Helvey Associates might not have even the most basic of the above information or relevant paperwork to support it. In this case, you get leeway to entirely detest and be freed from liability from any debt to the company.

If They Validate the Debt, What’s Next?

If they send valid information back, you can begin negotiating for them to clear your report. Usually, it will involve paying off the debt and depending on your situation, following up with a series of request documents such as:

• Goodwill Removal Request
• Debt Validation request
• Credit dispute
• Pay to delete negotiation letter
