Not necessarily. Paying or settling doesn’t automatically remove the account—it often just updates the balance to $0.
In some cases, paying can re-age the account, making it look newer and potentially hurting your score.
Instead, our system helps you:
Review accounts for accuracy.
Dispute those that are unverifiable or inaccurate.
Learn when payment may (or may not) benefit you.
Understand how each choice affects your reports.
We guide you to make the smartest decision—not just the fastest one.
Disclaimer: It's recommended to always request validation before payment.
