Can collection agencies report to the credit bureaus?
Even though some collection agencies choose not report to credit bureaus, they can report to one, or all three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion). Because the general public perception is that collection agencies, as a rule, report to the credit bureaus, this alone is often a very powerful incentive to get customers to pay their debts. As part of their skp tracing abilities, they can request the debtor’s credit report to get current contact information, such as an address and telephone number.
