Last Updated: August 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at cchamerica.com (the "Site"), operated by Credit Clearing House of America ("CCHA," "we," "us," or "our"), a professional debt collection agency located at 120 E Market St, Louisville, KY 40202. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.


1. About CCHA and This Site

CCHA provides debt collection and accounts receivable recovery services to businesses. The Site provides general information about our services, contact information, and links to make payments on accounts placed with us. This communication is from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

2. Not Legal or Financial Advice

Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, tax, or credit advice. You should consult a qualified professional regarding your specific situation. Links to educational resources (such as Ask Doctor Debt) are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of, or responsibility for, their content.

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age and located in the United States. By using the Site, you represent that you meet these requirements.

4. Payments

Payments on accounts are processed through our third-party payment portal. When making a payment:

  • You authorize the payment amount you submit and represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.
  • Payments are applied to the account you designate. Processing times may vary; a payment is not credited until funds are received and cleared.
  • Returned or disputed payments (e.g., insufficient funds, chargebacks) may be subject to fees as permitted by law and may result in the payment being reversed from your account balance.
  • Making a payment through the Site does not by itself constitute a settlement of an account unless expressly agreed in writing.
  • The payment portal may be operated by a third party and subject to its own terms and privacy policy.

If you have questions about your account balance or a payment arrangement, contact us at 502-583-1666 or 800-928-1666 before submitting a payment.

5. Consumer Rights Not Affected

Nothing in these Terms waives, limits, or modifies any rights you may have under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, or applicable state law, including your right to dispute a debt or request validation.
