I sent the $50.43 within the 30 days - yet the calls continue to come — stating I still owe $21.61. I explained I used the 70% settlement option by mailing my check in - they said that I needed to call them to let them know I was using this option - since I didn't call I still owe the $21.61.
As you can see it only says to call if I CAN'T use this option.
This is FRAUD and HARRASSMENT!!! This company should not be able to operate this way.
