I received a phone call just before thanksgiving from one Michelle Lee claiming to help me with a debt of $27,000 dollars. SHe stated that her client (Green Tree Servicing LLC) has authorized them to settle my account of $27359.87 for $7000.00 by the Nov 26.initially she was very rude, but I maintained myself and explained to her that if this was legitimate, I will pay my bills as I have always done before. She calmed down and then began to pressure me into paying the $7000.00 which I do not have and then threatened me that if I dont pay by the 26th of Nov then they will be forced to make me pay the whole sum. This account was from about 9-10yrs ago. I had bought a mobile home in Columbus, Georgia for the now ex-wife, and immediately following the divorce, I contacted the company to come and get the home, seeing that I had military orders to relocate and could not take the double wide trailer with me. They agreed to come and get the trailer. A major dent was put on my credit, for which I sufferred through for many years and has now rebuilt my credit history. I have since not had any contact with this company, but now this company (Syncom) whom I suspect bought or took over the account after many others, seeking now to extort funds of which I do not have and seeking to pressure me in one week to pay up or else, they will go after my assets! Something is just a bit fishy about all this. I noticed a few things mysterious when I asked them for a copy of the original documents. Her answer was "we deal with much too many clients to go through all that paperwork, and besides if my client has to do that, they will go after you for the full amount. They were not willing to send me a copy of the original documents. Then she claimed that she sent me a letter before and after checking with her about my correct address, I noticed that she had that wrong also. They recently sent me, via fax, a copy of their account number for a direct deposit of $7010.00. I am a bit uncomfortable about this. I recently checked my credit and noticed that they had made inquiries into my credit without my consent. There is nothing discriminatory on my credit file. I do not want to be taken. I wanted to validate their claim and their company and have some assurance that this debt would be paid in full and they assured me that it would but that was not in writing and I am still uanable to validate this company as a direct agent of GreenTree. I believe that I have sufferred enough already for that which I could not help. I suspect also that the statutes of limitation has already passed. What should I do? Please advise as soon as possible?
