Who Is 866-380-5171?
866-380-5171 belongs to Credit Control. They’re a debt collector reporting a collection account on your credit report.
This can mean two things:
- They’ve purchased your debt from the original creditor and are now calling you to collect it.
- They don’t own the debt themselves but are being paid to collect on behalf of another company for a large commission.
The worst part is that you now have a collections account on your credit report, hurting your score and lowering your chances of being approved for credit (at least with reasonable interest rates). This one creditor could get in the way of you buying your first home, buying a car, obtaining a business loan, securing employment or renting an apartment.
How Can I Get 866-380-5171 to Stop Calling Me?
There are several ways to go about this, but the easiest one (which we highly recommend) is to contact a company specializing in dealing with debt collectors, such as GreatCreditFast.

- They will stop calling you
- Your credit score will increase and go back to what it should be.
