A number of state-specific disclosures required by law can be found on DRS Credit's consumer rights page. However, its website does not provide links or references to consumer protection services, laws, or enforcement agencies.

How do you get Dynamic Recovery Solutions off your credit report?

The process of removing a collection account from your credit report is not as difficult as it might initially appear. Listed below are three steps you can take to restore your credit score.

  1. Request that all correspondence be sent through the mail.
  2. Send a Debt Validation Letter.
  3. Work of a “pay-for-delete” agreement.

Now, let's break down each step in detail.

1. Request that all correspondence be sent through the mail

Request that DRS exclusively communicate with you by letter. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you have the right to control the terms of your contact with a creditor or collector.

Through mailed communications, DRS does not have a way to communicate with customers early in the morning or late at night. On the other hand, written communication provides evidence if DRS fails to meet its expectations.

When debt collectors make promises or agreements over the phone, they don't always keep track of what they say. If you file a complaint, the case reviewer may discover that there is no proof that your agreement ever existed. If this occurs, you're right back where you were.

Keeping everything in writing can help you verify you entered into an agreement and fulfilled your half of the bargain if necessary. Furthermore, you would be able to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau if you had written documentation.

2. Send a debt validation letter

Having established written contact, ensure that the debt you are disputing is yours and correct. A credit report error affects one out of every five Americans. Consequently, some of the information on your credit report may not be yours. Be sure to verify that the debt belongs to you.

According to the FDCPA, you have the right to ask a debt collector to verify that the debt is indeed yours. The law requires Dynamic Recovery Solutions to notify you within five days of making contact about your right to verify the debt. If they don't, you should send a debt validation letter to DRS Credit.

If DRS cannot establish that you owe them money, request that the collection be dropped in your letter. You should seek validation within 30 days of your first contact with the agency for the best results. DRS may not respond to you if you send your letter after 30 days.

If you discover that the debt is not yours, you must dispute it in writing to Dynamic Recovery Solutions and the credit bureau. The debt should be promptly removed from your credit report since it's not yours.

3. Work out a "pay-for-delete" agreement

Even if you pay off collection accounts in full, they might negatively influence your credit score. That is why a pay-for-delete arrangement should be negotiated in advance.

As its name implies, a pay-for-delete agreement does precisely what it sounds like. The debt collection agency offers to remove the collections account from your credit report if you pay your bills, or a part of your debt, within a certain period of time.

Paying half of the debt to Dynamic Recovery Solutions will clear your credit record and allow you to keep your credit score. Ensure that you have a written agreement in place before making any loan payments. Be sure your contract does not leave room for ambiguity, as agents may try to get around this commitment by using complex language.

Please make the terms clear and concise, such as "DRS will delete this account from my credit records with all three credit reporting bureaus if I pay (a dollar amount) on this account (account number)."

After you've made the payment, wait 30 days to check your credit report. Dynamic Recovery Solutions should have contacted the credit bureau and requested that the collections account be deleted from your credit report within that time frame.

Negotiate with Dynamic Recovery Solutions to settle your debt

If you acknowledge that you owe the debt and prefer to avoid going through the contentious and stressful litigation process associated with a debt collection lawsuit, then you should consider negotiating a debt settlement. Dynamic Recovery Solutions may agree to settle for a lesser amount than nothing at all, especially if you make a reasonable lump sum offer.

If you were served with a Summons and Complaint regarding a debt collection lawsuit, then now is the time to act and not bury your head in the sand hoping the debt will magically disappear. If you take just a few proactive steps, you could potentially get DRS off your back and get them to accept a significantly lower amount through negotiated settlement.

The debt settlement process can be as simple as follow these steps:

  1. If DRS filed a debt collection lawsuit, file an Answer.
  2. Determine how much you can afford to pay toward the debt. This assessment should take your current finances, living expenses, and amount owed into consideration.
  3. Once you have a settlement range in mind, send a settlement offer to DRS. It is recommended to send the offer in writing, but you can also call to make an offer or use SoloSettle to negotiate online.
  4. If you are able to reach an agreement, make sure to get the terms and provisions of the debt settlement in writing.
  5. Pay the settled amount.
