ABOUT

According to a 2014 study by The Urban Institute, roughly 77 million Americans, or about one third of adults, have a report of a debt in collection. These adults owe an average of $5,178. Debt in collections involves a non-mortgage bill, such as a credit card balance, medical or utility bill that is more than 180 days past due and has been placed in collections.
