Is AR Concepts On Your Credit Report?
|
Who is AR Concepts Collecting For?
AR Concepts is a debt collection agency that reports collection accounts on your credit report.
Sometimes, AR Concepts buys this debt from the original creditors, like credit card companies or loan providers, usually at a fraction of the cost. In other instances, they might not own the debt themselves but are hired to collect it on behalf of another company.
Communications from AR Concepts may come in the form of mail or phone calls demanding payment, and their collection account appearing on your credit report can negatively impact your credit score and your ability to secure a loan or other financial services. However, it may be possible to have this account removed.
Does AR Concepts affect my Credit Score?
Yes, any derogatory mark within its statute of limitations, including a collections account, can severely damage your credit score.
How Can I Remove AR Concepts from My Credit Report?

What is AR Concepts?
AR Concepts is a legitimate debt collection agency. They purchase debt from various creditors who have given up on collecting the debt themselves, also known as a "charge-off".
Should I Pay to Delete with AR Concepts?
While paying off AR Concepts to delete it from your credit report may seem like a good idea, doing so changes your credit report status from 'unpaid' to 'paid', but the collections still appear on your report for seven years from the date of the first delinquency. This means that your credit will still be affected.
