What is Designed Receivable Solutions Inc.?

Designed Receivable Solutions is a debt collection agency that sometimes goes by the name Designed Billing Solutions. It’s located at 10833 Valley View St, Ste 415, Cypress, CA 90630-5046, and its phone number is (800) 518-7650. As of April 11, 2024, it has a Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating of B, although it’s not accredited.

There are no Designed Receivable Solutions reviews on the company’s BBB profile — but there are lots of complaints.

We also checked out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) complaint database and saw that more than 400 consumer complaints were submitted against Designed Receivable Solutions. Many complaints have to do with failure to validate debts.

Is Designed Receivable Solutions Inc. a reputable company?

Designed Receivable Solutions is a real business — it’s not a scam. However, one thing you should keep in mind is the company’s recent data breach. On March 23, 2024, Designed Receivable Solutions filed a notice stating that it had experienced a data breach.

Designed Receivable Solutions claims that someone was able to access the company’s stored data. This means that pieces of sensitive information — like names, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, home addresses, and phone numbers — were compromised.

In many cases, people who successfully hack databases will then sell the information they find, so there’s a chance the exposed data could be seen by countless other people.

Designed Receivable Solutions stores the information for people they’re trying to collect from, so if you’ve been getting letters or phone calls from the company, there’s a chance your data might have been affected, too. The company has begun to send letters out to anyone whose data was compromised.

How do you resolve debt with Designed Receivable Solutions Inc.?

Whether you’ve just gotten a call from a Designed Receivable Solutions collection agent or have been dealing with the company for months, it can be hard to know what to do to resolve your debt. Fortunately, you have options.

Ask Designed Receivable Solutions to validate your debt

Unfortunately, not everyone knows their rights when it comes to debt collection. Many debt collectors bank on that. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) grants consumers many rights, but one of the most important ones is the right to ask a collector to prove you owe a debt. If they can’t prove it, you don’t have to pay.

To ask for proof, you need to send what’s called a Debt Validation Letter. In that letter, you need to request a few specific pieces of information:

  • The original creditor
  • How much you owe
  • The last transaction on your account
  • Proof that the debt collector is the one authorized to collect the debt
  • A copy of the signed contract between you and the original creditor

If Designed Receivable Solutions responds to your Debt Validation Letter with proof, they’ve validated your debt. If you don’t pay, they might file a lawsuit against you (and if you’re like most people, you probably don’t want to get involved in a lawsuit!).

But don’t grab your wallet and rush to pay in full just yet! Your best option is to try to work out a payment arrangement. Let’s consider an example.

Example: Bud gets a letter from Designed Receivable Solutions saying he owes $500. He sends a Debt Validation Letter, and the company proves he owes money. He can’t pay all $500 right away, so he calls and asks if they would accept $400 instead. Bud pays it and gets to move on with his life.


If Designed Receivable Solutions won’t accept a reduced amount (or if you have little spare money), consider asking if you can pay the debt in manageable monthly installments.

What if Designed Receivable Solutions has already sued you?

After a certain amount of time (although there’s no “standard” time period) of not hearing from you, a debt collector might decide to file a debt lawsuit against you. Lawsuits can be stressful and complicated, but you shouldn’t give up just yet.

Send an Answer letter

Each state has its own deadline for when you need to respond to a notice of a lawsuit. It’s important to send a document called an Answer before that deadline. Your Answer gives you a chance to respond to the claims made against you.

Whatever you do, don’t ignore notice of a lawsuit. If you don’t send an Answer by the deadline, the debt collector may win by default. That means you’ll be legally required to pay, and your wages might be garnished.

Sending your Answer doesn’t have to be hard — get started with SoloSuit today!

Offer to settle your debt

If you don’t want to go through the long lawsuit process but also don’t want to pay the full amount you owe, consider a settlement. This is when you and a debt collector agree on a lump sum you can pay them instead of the full amount.

Debt collectors have to pay a significant amount in attorney fees for a lawsuit, so it often makes more financial sense for them to accept a settlement.

Even the settlement process can be complex, but with SoloSuit’s help, you can navigate a settlement with relative ease. If you do manage a settlement, you’ll end up paying less. The worst a debt collector can do is say no!
