How to ask Sunrise Credit Services to validate a debt
Sunrise lists P.O. Box 9004, Melville, NY 11747-9004, collection inquiries at 800-645-9824 and [email protected]. Its site gives no separate dispute address, so use the one on its validation notice.
Ask within 30 days of the first notice and the collector has to pause collecting until it sends verification. The letter builder writes a validation request for free.
What to do if this name is on your report
- Pull all three reports. Get them free at AnnualCreditReport.com and find the account, its balance and its date of first delinquency.
- Check the dates and the amount. A collection can report for 7 years from the original delinquency, not from when the collector bought it. A newer date can mean re-aging.
- Ask for validation if you don't recognize it. Send the request in writing and keep a copy.
- Dispute what is wrong. Dispute with each bureau that shows an inaccurate item, and with the collector directly.
- Decide on payment with the facts in hand. Read should you pay a collection before you agree to anything.
