Credit & Disputes
FAQs about credit reporting & how to dispute errors
-
If a debt doesn’t look right, you have the right to dispute it. After Unifin first contacts you, you’ll receive a validation notice that explains the debt and your right to dispute. Review that notice carefully and compare it to your own records.
If something is incorrect, send Unifin a written dispute within the timeframe listed. Once you dispute it, collection activity on the disputed part must pause until the debt is validated.

“Pay‑for‑delete” is when a consumer pays a debt in exchange for the collection being removed from their credit report. Unifin cannot offer or guarantee pay‑for‑delete, because Unifin does not furnish account information to any credit reporting agencies and therefore Unifin is unable to modify or remove any reporting on a consumer credit report.
Paying a valid debt will update the balance to zero, but it does not guarantee deletion. How an account is reported after payment is determined by the furnisher, the creditor.
In some cases the creditor may choose to stop reporting a collection after payment was made, which is why some consumers see a deletion, but this is voluntary, not guaranteed, and not something a collector, Unifin, can promise.
