Jefferson Capital, Fingerhut
Debt Settled for $370 Still Reported as New Balance Owed

I contacted this agency to settle the debt I was fighting with about Fingerhut's bad products and customer service. After giving up I wished to settle the dispute and get on with my life and learn it as a lesson to all of us. They said they would settle for $370. The rest of the balance they claimed was just there phony charges late fees etc. So I sent them the money. They agreed they would file on the credit reports the debt was paid in full. What they did next is extremely clever and dishonest. They showed I paid the money on the credit reports but also I still owe them the balance and now show me being late every month to a new dated debt that will stay on the reports another seven years.

I have a letter stating that the debt was settled but they refuse to correct it on the credit bureau and actually they hurt me more then if I would not of settled. Because the time is almost up for it to drop off but now the way they report it it will be years again and it shows me not paying on a new debt not a old debt. They are a real piece of work these people.
