Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!
What is OSI collection services inc?
OSI Collection Service is a "Third Party" Collection agency. Collection agencies buy your information from the original creditor in order to collect on a debt. What this means is that they make money if you pay anything on this debt, not only from the original creditor, but a commission on the payment that you make on that debt.
If you are trying to clear up your debt do you pay the collection agency or the original business you owe to and have them try to buy back your debt?
Your main consideration is that your credit report should be at its most favorable. Therefore, whomever you contact, make sure you get in writing that you will pay the debt and, in exchange, you expect the debt to be removed from your report, or at least that the debt should be converted to "good." Usually, once the collection agency is involved, the original company will not deal with you. This is because they now have a contract with the collection agency, who will get a portion of the collected debt. Capish?
