Okay, I have a question. I have a loan with MBNA that went into charge off, that I am paying to a collection agency by the name of "Phillips & Cohen". They send me a statement every month, which I really like because its documentation that they have received my payment and have applied it the balance. I like being able to see the balance go down.

My question, they show 'their' client as being 'Hilco Receivables LLC' not MBNA. Are they a collection agency? [Hilco] or are they MBNAs 'in house' collections? If so, then that goes back to my question about a collection agency collecting for a collection agency. Only MBNA is on my credit report as a charge off, no other CA is listed. just curious who Hilco is.

I have another account that is also this way, they have their client listed as Midland but they're not the OC.

just curious, thanks, shirley

Hilco is a collection service that buys in bulk distressed accounts.I dont think they are in house.
They have a website,and it seems that they work for themselves.Hope this helps.

thanks twokid....so if what you say is true, then I do have a collection agency collecting for a collection agency. I can't do anything about it, or rather, what can I do, [nothing] since only the original creditor is on report. none of these other guys are. I was just curious who midland was. thanks for responding!!

So far, it's still better because your CR is not reporting any collections. If the CAs enter any remarks for which they have the rights (if the OC has authorized them), this negative info will stay in your file for a period of seven years. It's still better to see the collection agency away from your CR. But they can hit your file in case of delinquency. Make sure that you don't let this happen.

I'm not John. And you're totally right, I'm pretty lucky that CAs aren't on report making my situation even worse. I have NO collection agencies on report just original creditors and even though Dell and wells fargo aren't talking to me nor the collectors that are holding these accounts, theres still no CAS on report. I have one account that was sold, so its showing as PAID in full on report, and I'm paying to collection agency on it and they're not on report either, so thats a plus for me.

Did you inquire from 'Phillips & Cohen' about their client 'Hilco Receivables LLC'. I think they should be able to answer your query.

Yes, I will write and ask them what the deal on it is. I know it is MBNA because I matched up the account numbers and they are the same. Just wasnt sure where Hilco came in. Maybe they bought it from MBNA and then turned around and hired someone else to collect. I don't know, but I will ask them. thanks John
