Why Collections Hurt Approvals

Collections are a major risk signal. Some lenders auto-decline when collections are present. Others approve at lower limits or worse terms. Recency and reporting accuracy matter significantly—a recent collection is viewed very differently from an older one, and inaccurately reported collections may be addressable.

Funding-Focused Approach

We identify whether the collection is a hard blocker and determine the best corrective path. This often involves credit repair for funding and readiness sequencing to address the collection strategically before submitting applications.

Next Step

Do not apply blind if collections are present. Start with prequalification to understand the impact and get a clear corrective path.
