What should I do if I can’t make my scheduled payment?

We understand that unexpected situations can occur, which is why we encourage our payers to keep open communication with FAS. Please notify us of any changes to your payment at least three days before the scheduled date.

For more information about our payment policy, please visit the Consumers page on our website. To connect with an Account Representative, check out our Contact Us page.

What happens after I make my final payment?

Once your final payment has been successfully processed, our team will update your account status to “Closed” in our system. You will receive a “Paid in Full” letter for your records. Additionally, the original creditor will be notified that your account has been resolved in accordance with the agreement between FAS and our client.

Disputes

I do not recognize this debt. What do I do?

If, after reviewing the validation information from FAS, you still do not recognize the debt or believe it is not yours, please send us a dispute letter. In this letter, clearly state that you do not owe some or all of the amount and request verification of the debt.

Make sure to send your dispute letter within 30 days of the date on the validation letter. Once we receive your letter, all collection efforts will be paused until we provide you with written verification of the debt, which may include a copy of the original bill detailing the amount owed. We recommend sending your letter via certified mail and requesting a return receipt to confirm that it has been delivered. Remember to keep a copy of the letter for your records.

If you do not dispute the debt within 30 days of receiving the validation information, FAS will consider the debt valid.

For more details, please refer to the Debt Validation notice available at the bottom of the Consumers page on this website.

Credit Reporting

When will Fidelity Account Services show up on my credit report?

We do not provide data updates to the credit bureaus regarding an account for a minimum of 60 days after it has been assigned to FAS. This period allows us to evaluate the account’s validity and determine its eligibility for credit reporting, as well as to notify the affected consumer. It also gives consumers time to resolve the account before we submit our initial data update.

The process for reporting to the credit bureau varies for each account and is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

How long will unresolved debt impact my credit?

Unresolved debts can impact your credit score for up to seven years from the date of the initial delinquency. During this period, any late payments, collections, or charged-off accounts associated with the debt will continue to affect your credit report.

It’s important to note that some types of debt, such as bankruptcies or student debt, may remain on your credit report for an extended period, depending on the situation.

To mitigate the negative effects, consider working towards settling outstanding debts and maintaining a consistent payment history moving forward.

I’ve settled my balance. What are the next steps?

If you have paid off an account in full or reached a settlement before we start credit reporting, and the payment has been successfully processed, we will not report the account to the major credit bureaus.

If you pay off an account or settle it after we have begun credit reporting, and the payment is processed successfully, we will request deletion from the major credit bureaus.

If the final payment is canceled or reversed for any reason, and the account is still eligible for credit reporting, we will treat the account as active with the major credit bureaus.

Note: We can only manage our internal processing times. Once we send our request to the major credit bureaus, we cannot influence how quickly they will remove the account from your credit report.

Why hasn’t my account been deleted from my credit report?

We update the major credit bureaus with data at least once a month. After we submit our request, we cannot influence how long it takes for them to process it. Consumers using third-party credit monitoring services might face extra delays, as these services generally update their information only after the credit bureaus have made their changes.

We recognize that these delays can be frustrating, and we thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions regarding the actions taken by FAS, feel free to contact one of our helpful Account Representatives at (281) 391-3030 or complete our Contact Us form.

For inquiries about the timing of account removals by the credit bureaus, please reach out to them directly.

Why does the Original Creditor still appear on my credit report?

FAS does not control the information reported by the original creditor or any other third party, and it cannot request that this information be deleted or altered. For information about other accounts on your credit report, contact the credit bureaus directly or reach out to the original creditor responsible for those accounts.
