Encore Capital Group is a debt collection agency that is headquartered in San Diego, but has offices and operations in many other States of USA and also in India.
This debt collection company purchases outstanding debts from many different clients like credit unions, banks, utility providers etc.
This company claims to have invested heavily to put together one of the industry’s strongest analytic platforms focused on the demographic segment of distressed consumers. In addition they have approximately 20 million accounts.
It is a logical conclusion that this company will try to regain it return on investment via its business transactions. So finally it is the debtor who is going to foot the bill.
When the debtor gets charged for such a huge amount in addition to the original debt, it is but natural to expect total chaos.
The debtor is taken aback with surprise and when he / she gets threatened, bullied, abused and forced into paying up, things really get ugly. Debt collection agencies commonly employ such scare tactics to extract the money out of the debtors.
They will also send negative collection accounts to the credit bureaus which make your credit reports cut a very sorry picture. Your credit score will look embarrassing at base levels and no creditor worth his money would be willing to lend you a credit line anymore.
Time is money and more you waste of it, more expensive it will get for you. Debt collection agencies often charge off your debt to other debt collection agencies as well, when you delay in paying up. All this is not going to help you in any way, so stop procrastinating. Seek a credit repair firm that can efficiently take care of your credit report woes.
