We’ve all been there. We get a call or a letter from a collection agency demanding we pay an overdue bill.

Right. Now!

Let’s face it, collection companies are the worst! They hound and hound us until they get what they want: our money.

And, well, that’s their job, so we can’t get too upset with them…right?

Although it’s tempting to hide from these “baddies,” it’s also smart to cooperate with them. A paid collection helps improve your credit score, but a collection that disappears completely does wonders for it.

But, wait. Before you run off to pay your collector(s), read our collection tips first. Download our book or visit smartwithdebt.com to learn more.
