Get Puget Sound Collections Off Your Credit Report Instantly

Few things are worse than applying for credit only to discover that your credit score is far lower than you anticipated. Countless consumers have a hard time securing mortgage and auto loans due to reporting errors and other mistakes made on the part of collection agencies. If you have an entry from Puget Sound Collections on your credit report that's inaccurate or that violates your consumer rights in other ways, DoNotPay can help you get it removed.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), debt collection agencies are legally required to report consumer information correctly. The FCRA also places a number of important restrictions on how companies like Puget Sound Collections can attempt to collect debts. It additionally outlines important steps that every collection agency must take when taking over a delinquent account, and before collection activities are started. The Clear Credit Report product from DoNotPay is designed to help consumers both learn their rights and take the necessary actions for boosting their purchasing power.

What Is Puget Sound Collections?

Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, Puget Sound Collections is a professional debt collection agency that's been operational since 1960. Puget Sound Collections provides collection services on behalf of companies within a diverse range of industries including:

• Property management
• Healthcare
• Financial services
• Utility services
• Court services
• Professional and commercial services

If you have an entry from Puget Sound Collections on your credit report, it's likely due to unpaid charges with a property rental company, unpaid utility bills, unpaid court fees, or unpaid medical bills. Moreover, the company to which  this money is owed is  in the Puget Sound/Western Washington region.

The good news is that you shouldn't have to do a lot of guesswork when it comes to determining where your debt came from. Like all other collection agencies, Puget Sound Collections is legally obligated to provide you with a debt validation letter before any collection activities are started.  This letter should include:

1. The name of the creditor
2. The amount that you owe
3. Details on how to dispute the debt

Debt validation must be submitted within just five days of initial contact.  Once a debt validation letter is received, you have 30 days to submit a credit dispute. If a debt validation letter is never supplied, this is considered a serious infraction on the part of the collection agency.

How to Dispute an Entry From Puget Sound Collections on Your Credit Report

The first step in disputing an entry from Puget Sound Collections on your credit report is contacting this company directly.  You can do so by phone, by email, or in writing. However, no matter how you submit your demands or inquiries, it's always best to keep a written record of all communications. Debt collectors legally have 30 days to respond to credit disputes.

If Puget Sound Collections does not issue an acceptable response after this time, you can contact the three major credit reporting bureaus: Transunion, Experian, and Equifax.  If you dispute a debt from Puget Sound Collections before it is reported, the debt cannot be added to your credit report. If you dispute a debt after it has been reported, the debt in question must be reported as disputed.

Reasons to Dispute an Entry From Puget Sound Collections on Your Credit Report

There are many legitimate reasons for disputing an entry on your credit report from Puget Sound. You may want to send a credit dispute letter to this company if:

• They've reported an account as open and it's already been closed
• They're charging you more than you believe you owe
• They're charging you more than you believe they can lawfully charge
• They did not send you a debt verification letter
• The debt verification letter you received is missing key details
• The personally identifying information on your credit report is incorrect
• You don't believe that this debt belongs to you

You can submit a complaint to the CFPB. You can also contact them by phone at (855) 411-2372.

Use DoNotPay to Get Puget Sound Collections Removed From Your Credit Report

Most consumers who are looking to remove entries from their credit reports are anxious to see quick results. You might be waiting to apply for a home mortgage loan, a car loan, or an apartment. You may even be preparing to apply for a new job and want to make the best possible impression when undergoing pre-employment screening.

Sadly, it takes time for credit reporting bureaus to update their records. Moreover, it can take weeks or even months for some collection agencies to take action. Even working with the CFPB or taking your case to small claims court can be time-consuming. It is always far better to let DoNotPay handle the matter instead.
