McKenzie Paul & Associates

1.0

By Marshall B

Can you say SCAM!!! Hired McKenze-Paul to collect some outstandng invoices and they did. They told me they had colleted the funds and would be sending me a check within 60 days. Several months later I called and was told the check was in the mail. Still no check! I started calling and sending e-mails, neither of whcih were ever returned. I sent registered letters, still no responce. After a year, I contacted Austin P.D. and filed a Theft of Funds report and let them contact these folks. This did the trick!! They paid me the money they owed, but they had to do it in payments over a couple of months. So it took over a year to collect the money from McKenzie Paul & Assoc. who got to use that money free of charge for that time. I needed a collection company to collect from McKenzie Paul. I gave them one star only because there is not a zero star. ...read more

The 8 Best Credit Repair Companies

By BCR Consulting April 05, 2018

IMPORTANT: Read this prior to paying off collection accounts

Collection companies have done a great job over the years of convincing consumers that paying off collections will raise their credit scores. Many are actually surprised to learn that paying off collections will actually lower their credit scores. Collections are usually reported on the credit as a “9” status or collection account. This means the account has already been "written off" and assigned to collections by the creditor. Once an account is reported this way on the credit report, the damage to the credit score is irreversible, unless that item is removed completely from the report. If the account is paid off, the collection company reports that the account now has a $0 balance, but they do not usually delete the item off the report. The account has already become a collection, and the risk of the consumer defaulting on another account is already very high, due to that collection. So their credit score will not go any higher if it is paid off, because paying off a collection after the fact, doesn't lower the risk of defaulting in the future.   However, the DATE OF LAST ACTIVITY is updated to the date the account was paid off. So if that account was sent to collections 3 years ago, the date of last activity is 3 years old and the impact to the credit score is not as much. But if the consumer pays off that collection today, they just update the date of last activity to today's date, sometimes causing the scores to go DOWN as a result. Crazy isn't it? Your clients are trying to do the right thing and pay off collections, but their scores can be lower as a result. Help your clients work with collection companies to have their negative item removed completely from their report, if they pay it off. This will help their credit while satisfying the collection company. Source: Credit Advisory Group ...read more
