GreenFlag Profit Recovery and Your Credit Report: Know Where You Stand
Unlike most other consumer collection agencies, GreenFlag Profit Recovery offers a very comprehensive description of the services it offers – and reveals specific details of its collection strategies. Researching the company you’re dealing with and being informed about its unique approach to debt collecting is an important first step in being prepared to negotiate when a debt collector contacts you.
GreenFlag Profit Recovery has been in business since 1970, and they perform collection services for “virtually any organization that accepts checks or extends credit.” This includes banks, small businesses, retailers, hospitals, universities, manufacturers and cities, including many Fortune 500 companies. They also claim to have the highest recovery rate in the industry – which is a clear sign to consumers that negotiating with GreenFlag could prove very challenging.
No matter what state you’re in, if you’re behind on debt payments you could be contacted by GreenFlag; they’re licensed to collect in every state and have more than 100 locations nationwide. They employ a variety of collection techniques, but say they’re unique in that they work with accounts in the early state of collections – when they’re more likely to still be collectible. They also say they use a “diplomatic approach” to avoid alienating current customers, but you’ll probably disagree. This is from their perspective, not yours.
How a Collection with GreenFlag Collection Agency May be Destroying Your Credit History
Sometimes you may not even know that a third-party debt collection agency like GreenFlag has taken over your account until you notice a “collection” notice on your credit report. If you see an entry like this, it usually means that a creditor has handed over your delinquent debt to a third-party debt collector to help them collect what is owed. Unfortunately, having a “collection” notice from GreenFlag Profit or Transworld Systems on your credit report can have a seriously negative impact on your credit. This tells other credit issuers that you have become significantly delinquent in making payments to a creditor, and might mean future credit cards and loan applications will be denied. This is particularly likely when it is a recent entry or one that remains on your credit report because you have not repaid the debt.
How much a collection notice affects your credit score depends both on what your credit score was before the collection entry appeared, how long it has been on your report, and whether or not you have paid it off. Your score will gradually improve over time if you pay off the debt marked for collection and continue to make your other payments on time. Before you start making payments, however, make sure you verify that it is a legitimate debt, and contact the collection agency and the original debtor right away if it is not your debt. If you find yourself in a situation where a collection agency like GreenFlag Profit Recovery is harassing you over a debt that’s not yours, consider getting in touch with an attorney who can help.
