Is Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. on Your Credit Report?
Short answer: Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. (Affiliate Mortgage Services) is a real, legitimate debt buyer based in Lansing, Michigan. It is not a scam — but a legitimate collector can still report a debt that is inaccurate, unverified, past the statute of limitations, or not even yours. You have the right to demand proof before you pay a cent.
Who Is Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc.?
Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. is registered with the State of Florida to collect consumer debt and operates from Lansing, Michigan. Being assigned an account does not reset the debt's age: the original delinquency date follows the file wherever it goes.
You may also see this company on your report or in letters as: Affiliate Mortgage Services.
What most people don't know about Affiliate Mortgage Services:
Licence CCA9904825 is the Florida consumer collection agency (CCA) registration filed by Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc., and the address of record on it is Lansing, Michigan. The filing places the office in Eaton County. Florida first approved the registration in May 2023, and the current approved status took effect in November 2025. The same filing registers the trade name AFFILIATE MORTGAGE SERVICES — that is often the wording that actually shows up on a letter or a credit-report tradeline, rather than the legal name. Nothing appears for this company in the CFPB's consumer complaint data, so there is no aggregate behaviour to read. The specifics of the notice you received carry the weight instead.
Why Is Affiliate Mortgage Services on My Credit Report?
Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. typically collects charged-off credit card debt, personal loans, retail store accounts. A collection like this usually lands on your report because:
- ✅ An original account (a charged-off credit card debt, for example) went unpaid and was charged off.
- ✅ The account was sold to Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc., which now owns the debt and is trying to collect the full balance.
- ✅ Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. furnished the account to one or more of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).
Important: a collection account on its own does not prove you owe the debt or that the amount is correct. That's where your rights come in.
Your Rights When Affiliate Mortgage Services Contacts You
Federal law — the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) — gives you powerful tools. Here is the playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Affiliate Mortgage Services a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is correct, and they have the legal right to collect. If they can't, they must stop collecting and it should come off your report.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
You can dispute the Affiliate Mortgage Services tradeline directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate. If the account can't be verified, the law requires it be deleted or corrected.
3. Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that Affiliate Mortgage Services stop contacting you. They can still report and sue, but they must stop calls and letters — useful for stopping harassment while you build your case.
4. Pay-for-Delete (in writing only)
If the debt is valid and yours, you may negotiate to pay in exchange for deletion of the tradeline. Never pay on a verbal promise — get the pay-for-delete agreement in writing first.
5. Statute of Limitations
Every state has a time limit on how long a collector can sue you for a debt. If the debt is "time-barred," Affiliate Mortgage Services can still ask for payment but generally cannot win a lawsuit — and making a payment can dangerously restart the clock.
6. Protection From Harassment
The FDCPA bars Affiliate Mortgage Services from calling at unreasonable hours, threatening you, or lying. Every violation is potential leverage — and may entitle you to damages.

Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. a scam or a legitimate company?
Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. is a real, registered debt buyer headquartered in Lansing, Michigan. It is a legitimate business — but "legitimate company" does not mean the specific debt it's reporting is accurate, validated, or even yours. Scammers do sometimes impersonate well-known collectors like Affiliate Mortgage Services, so always demand written validation before paying anything.
Why is Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. on my credit report?
Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. is registered with the State of Florida to collect consumer debt and operates from Lansing, Michigan. Being assigned an account does not reset the debt's age: the original delinquency date follows the file wherever it goes. It most commonly collects charged-off credit card debt, personal loans, retail store accounts. It likely appeared after an original account went unpaid and was sold to them. Licence CCA9904825 is the Florida consumer collection agency (CCA) registration filed by Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc., and the address of record on it is Lansing, Michigan. The filing places the office in Eaton County. Florida first approved the registration in May 2023, and the current approved status took effect in November 2025. The same filing registers the trade name AFFILIATE MORTGAGE SERVICES — that is often the wording that actually shows up on a letter or a credit-report tradeline, rather than the legal name. Nothing appears for this company in the CFPB's consumer complaint data, so there is no aggregate behaviour to read. The specifics of the notice you received carry the weight instead.
Can Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. be removed from my credit report?
Yes — inaccurate, unverifiable, or improperly reported Affiliate Mortgage Services collection accounts can be removed. Under the FCRA, the credit bureaus must investigate your dispute, and if Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. cannot verify the debt, it must come off your report. Crowned Credit reviews the account for errors, demands debt validation, and disputes it with all three bureaus.
Should I pay Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. or dispute it first?
Do not pay before you validate. Once you confirm a collection is yours, accurate, and within the statute of limitations, you may consider a pay-for-delete agreement in writing. But paying an unverified or time-barred debt can restart the clock and lock in a negative entry. Get a free assessment before you send any money to Affiliate Mortgage Services.
How long can Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. report this debt?
Most negative collection accounts can remain on your credit report for up to seven years from the original delinquency date — not from when Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. acquired or began collecting it. If the account is being "re-aged" to look newer, that is a reporting violation you can dispute.
Will Neighborhood Capital Funding, Inc. sue me?
Some collectors and debt buyers do file lawsuits, especially before the statute of limitations expires. If you are served, do not ignore it. Validate the debt, check whether it is time-barred in your state, and get help. Because this type of entity is more likely to litigate, acting early matters.
