Unless you bought your Collings new, I bet it is strung incorrectly. Both of mine arrived that way. Unlike most ukes, when the string is inserted into the bridge, it should go in knot first and then pulled back over the bridge. The inside of the bridge is designed for that. Yes, I know the knot always goes in first, but this is different. It looks better, and it's less likely to pull out.
A friend had a string pull out of his Collings, and it damaged the bridge, requiring a new bridge to be installed. Below is a link to a PDF from Collings.
