Good question.
There are a few tactics to remove collections from your credit report;
First, is the debt paid off? If so, the option I would suggest is to write a dispute letter to that specific credit bureau.
If the debt has not been paid yet, typically, you can negotiate with the creditor to remove the collection account from your credit report if you pay the debt (WARNING!!! make sure this is stated in writing before you send any money).
