How and why your debt came to us.

When banks, credit card companies, and other creditors are unable to collect on an account, they may sell those debts to companies like Direct Recovery Associates, LLC. If your account was sold to us, you can review your account details online – including, but not limited to, information such as the name of your original creditor, account balance, and the date we acquired your debt. We are committed to working collaboratively with you to help you understand the collection process and to make informed decisions about your personal debt recovery.
