Credence has a B rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). They have 418 complaints on the BBB. These complaints revolve around:
- Being called repeatedly
- Being told a paid debt would be removed from a credit report when it wasn’t
- Erroneous debt claims
- Agents calling and not providing information about who they are
Credence Resource Management does respond to all of the complaints on the BBB. If they call you and refuse to provide you with any information, it is because they are not allowed to divulge any information about the nature of the debt unless they are speaking to the debtor.
This can make it tricky to determine whether you’re getting a scam call. No one wants to divulge personal information without knowing who they are talking to.
With that said, Credence Resource Management is a legit company, and they are calling about a debt that you owe. Whether that debt is erroneous is another matter.
Why Is Credence Resource Management Calling Me?
Credence Resource Management is calling your phone because you have a past due bill with one of their clients usually AT&T. If you don’t know of any past due bills or debts in your name, it’s important to take steps to get the issue cleared up before it hurts your credit.
If the debt is legitimate, Credence will try working with you to get it resolved. Consumers on the BBB state that the agency will offer discounts and payment plans to help debtors pay off their debts. But you will need to speak with one of their agents to discuss these options.
How to Get Credence Resource Management to Stop Calling
No one wants to be bothered by or harassed by a collections agency, especially if you don’t owe any debts to anyone. But even if you do have a past due bill in collections, you still want to live in peace.
There are a few ways to get Credence to stop calling:
- Answer their call or call their agency and ask a representative to restrict your number. Credence has suggested this option to consumers complaining on the BBB about receiving too many calls.
- If you owe a debt, work out a payment plan or pay off your balance.
- Work with a credit repair company to get Credence removed from your report and to stop calling.
If you are receiving calls from Credence Resource Management, these steps can help make the calls stop once and for all.
