Impact Receivables Management is a debt collection agency based in Stafford, TX that specializes in collecting rental debts. The agency works with rental properties to collect money from consumers who failed to pay their rent or otherwise failed to successfully complete the terms and conditions of their lease (i.e. fees or damages owed).
So, if you moved out of an apartment complex without paying all your dues, there is a chance that IRMt was assigned to collect the remaining balance on your account.
Impact Receivables Management is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an F score on its site. In addition, the agency has a 1-star rating out of 5 stars and dozens of complaints submitted against it.
The role of Impact Receivables Management is to collect money for rental properties. Don’t forget that when communicating with them.
Before taking any action, it's important to remain calm. Understanding the debt collection process will also help you make informed decisions. Before you take action, confirm that the debt is indeed yours. Check for discrepancies and ensure you're not being charged more than you owe. Finally, check the statute of limitations on the debt. After a certain period, it might be uncollectible through legal means.
In order to verify that the debt is actually legit and owed, you can send a Debt Validation Letter to IRMt. This forces debt collectors to provide the following information about a debt:
If the collector cannot validate your debt, then they must stop contacting you about it. Here is the Impact Receivables Management phone number and other contact information:
Address: 11104 W Airport Blvd Suite #199, Stafford, TX 77477
Phone: 866-942-9516
Email: support@impactreceivablesmanagement.com
Finally, familiarize yourself with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which outlines your rights and the legal practices of collection agencies. Read more here: What Debt Collectors Cannot Do — FDCPA Explained
If you’ve been sued by Impact Receivables Management, don’t delay; take action. Respond to your debt lawsuit before your state’s deadline. Here’s how:
Now, let us explain these steps a little more.
Most people who have been sued for debt lose their case automatically when they fail to respond in time. This leads to a default judgment, which gives creditors and debt collectors the right to garnish wages and seize property. Luckily, there is a simple way to prevent a default judgment: filing an Answer.
You should have received court documents notifying you of the lawsuit. These are typically known as the Summons and Complaint (Petition in some states). The Summons notifies you of the case and its details, while the Complaint lists the specific claims (or complaints) against you. It’s your responsibility to respond to these documents with a written Answer.
In your Answer, you should address each claim against you. You can admit, deny, or deny due to lack of knowledge (kind of like saying, “I don’t know”). Then, you should include your affirmative defenses. These are any legal reasons that you should not be held liable for the debt.
SoloSuit can help you draft and file an Answer to your debt lawsuit in all 50 states. All you have to do is create an account, respond to a series of questions about your case, and our software will generate a personalized Answer for your case.

After you file an Answer to your lawsuit, you have given yourself time to negotiate a debt settlement.
In a debt settlement, you offer your creditor a portion of the total amount due, usually at least 60% of the debt’s value. In exchange for a lump-sum payment, the Impact Receivables Management agrees to drop any legal claims against you and release you from the remaining balance.
Once you've reached a settlement with IRMt, you should ask for a written agreement that outlines the terms you've agreed upon. Don't make any payments until you have this in hand. Finally, be sure to follow through on your end and make all payments as agreed upon. Late or missed payments can nullify your agreement.
As a part of your agreement, ensure the account is updated to show "paid" or "settled" on your credit report and that the balance is zero. Dispute any inaccuracies If your report hasn't been updated or if there are errors. You can do so by filing a dispute with the credit reporting agency.
