TrueAccord on your credit report

Who TrueAccord is

TrueAccord calls itself a digital-first debt collection agency that uses data science and AI. It does third-party collection, and it handles first-party work, early-stage contact made in the original creditor's name, through its subsidiary Sentry Credit, Inc.

How its accounts show on your credit report

TrueAccord describes itself as digital-first, so its validation notice may arrive by email. Check your inbox and spam folder for it, because the validation period end date printed on the notice sets your deadline to dispute in writing.

What to do if this name is on your report

1. Pull all three reports. Get them free at AnnualCreditReport.com and find the account, its balance and its date of first delinquency.
2. 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.
3. Ask for validation if you don't recognize it. Send the request in writing and keep a copy.
4. Dispute what is wrong. Dispute with each bureau that shows an inaccurate item, and with the collector directly.
5. Decide on payment with the facts in hand. Read should you pay a collection before you agree to anything.
