Collection
define: Collection
A delinquent credit account goes to collections after a period of time. “Collection” refers to an effort by a company (or agency) whose task is to collect the unpaid debt. A credit line in collections can negatively affect a credit score and, in turn, make it difficult to borrow at reasonable rates.
