Professor Andrei Nikiforov was recently featured in WalletHub’s article States with the Most and Least Collection Accounts, where he shared expert insights on navigating and preventing collection accounts. His guidance focuses on four key areas: how to avoid debts being sent to collections, how collection accounts affect credit scores, effective strategies for managing debts already in collections while protecting your financial health, and how closed accounts may impact your credit report.
Among his recommendations, Professor Nikiforov emphasized the importance of intervening early to prevent debts from reaching collections. Simple steps such as setting up automatic payments for at least the minimum amount due, using reminders to track payment deadlines, or proactively contacting lenders to adjust payment schedules based on your financial situation can make a significant difference.
