How to Remove Collections from Your Credit Report — Step by Step

Steps customized for New Hampshire law, credit card debt rules, and Convergent Outsourcing's collection patterns.

1

Pull all three credit reports

Get free weekly reports from annualcreditreport.com (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Look for: collection accounts you don't recognize, wrong balances, accounts past 7 years (7.5 years from date of first delinquency), re-aged accounts.

2

Send validation demand to the collector

Under FDCPA, demand the collector validate the debt. Under FCRA § 623, they must conduct a reasonable investigation when you dispute. If they can't substantiate it, they must stop reporting it.

3

Dispute inaccurate entries with all three bureaus

File disputes simultaneously at equifax.com, experian.com, and transunion.com or by certified mail. Be specific: state the exact error, what the correct information should be, and attach supporting documents.

4

Follow up after 30 days

Bureaus must investigate within 30 days. If the collector can't verify the accuracy of their entry, the bureau must delete it. If the investigation finds errors, the entry must be corrected or deleted.

5

Escalate if still unresolved

If inaccurate entries remain, file CFPB complaints against both the collector and the credit bureau. If willful violations exist, you can sue under FCRA for $100-$1,000 per violation plus actual damages.
