They sent me a letter saying that I owed 10,677.98 on a debt that that was in 1991. They said they would settle for 1,988.00 if I would wire the money western union immediately or it would go on to my credit report as bad credit. I have a very good credit report and they checked it and said that I had enough money on my credit card to pay it. I was so afraid to have a bad credit report I paid the debt.
I thought all was well and a few days later I received an other letter that said I owed 8,824.88 and that they would settle for 2,775.07 if I would pay right away. I thought it was a mistake so I called them up and the said it was another debt that I owed from 1992. They woud settle it if I paid 1,000.00 today. I asked if I could have a couple of days so I could asked a lawyer for some information on what I should do.
The lady said that if I didn't fax my credit card number to pay 1000.00 today that the debt would go to 8,824.88. So I sent them the faxed them the information.
I didn't know what to do, but I didn't want to have a bad credit record. I don't know what the money was owed for but one was in 1991 and the other was in 1992.
I feel like I have been ripped off.
If this happens again I will talk to a lawyer before I call them.
