At Jefferson Capital, we understand that the Covid-19 Pandemic has created a tremendous amount of uncertainty for everyone. As it relates to our day to day business operations, that includes the uncertainty faced by our clients, our vendors, our associates, and above all our account holders. Virtually nobody is untouched by the stress and challenge of maintaining their health and financial well-being during these extremely difficult times. It is certainly not business as usual.
In responding to these challenges, we’ve found internally that open and frank communications are usually the best way to identify challenges and implement solutions to the myriad of issues being faced daily. The first step is for our team members to reach out and communicate. The second, and perhaps even more important step, is for all of us to listen. We’ve found that solutions quickly follow.
Listening and identifying solutions is what we do. So now more than ever we would encourage all of our partners to reach out to us – both businesses and consumers. And as it particularly relates to our account holders, they are not alone. We are here to help. We encourage them to reach out to us and let us know how they have been affected. Our goal is to listen and work together to find solutions that work during these uncertain times.
We also want to pass along several resources that were released today by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. As the CFPB indicates, responsible financial companies are supporting their customers, and “consumers facing hardships should be aware of this posture and discuss their specific circumstances.” Please contact us and let us know your situation. We are in this together and we are here to help.
Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC is an established Debt Buyer and Debt Collector. CL Holdings, LLC is the parent company of Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC.
We listen, provide solutions that deliver, and we do the right thing for every situation. Jefferson Capital is an analytically driven purchaser and servicer of consumer charged-off and bankruptcy accounts. We were founded in 2002 based on the bedrock principles of listening, identifying solutions, and “doing the right thing.” It's why last year alone, we were able to help hundreds of thousands of our account holders find workable solutions to resolve their accounts and move forward with their lives. A significant reason for our success, and one of the reasons we are one of the largest debt buyer in the United States, is due to The Jefferson Difference: Our Proprietary Solutions, Data Science Expertise, and Best in Class Compliance Program.
We provide updated information, including payments and balance updates, to the credit bureaus weekly.
We are required to stop reporting on an account and to delete our tradeline within seven years of the delinquency date.
We also stop reporting and will request that the credit bureaus delete our tradeline on any account that is paid in full or paid in full for less than the full balance. Our request to delete the tradeline will occur approximately 30 days after your final payment is posted.
If you see our tradeline on your credit report, it is because we have acquired your account.
The credit bureaus require us to report the date we acquire the account as the “Open Date”. Please know, however, that this “Open Date” does not affect how long our tradeline may appear on your credit report. Please see “When does JCap stop reporting to the credit bureaus” for additional information concerning how long our tradeline might appear on your credit report.
Some creditors may choose to report an account as “sold/transferred” even though we have acquired it and also started reporting on it.
Your original creditor may have sold your account. Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC acquires debt from original creditors or may service existing debt.
Our policy is that we will request the credit bureaus delete our tradeline approximately 30 days after the final payment has been posted that resolves the account as paid in full or paid in full for less than the full balance.
Because each credit bureau determines your credit score, we do not know how a payment might impact your credit score.
Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC utilizes third party collection agencies and other vendors to service some of the accounts we own.
