CAMCO called my house to let me know that they have a collection account forwarded to them from Wells Fargo and that I owed $500. I told them that was not true and that I had paid Wells Fargo in full one year earlier. A woman named SUSAN STONE started cursing at me and told me that unless I faxed them the information showing that my account was paid, collection efforts would continue and hung up on me.
I called Wells Fargo who acknowledged that I had already paid them in full and told me that they did not outsource their collection accounts. I did a conference call with a Wells Fargo representative and called CAMCO. When the representative introduced herself, SUSAN STONE repeated her spiel about collection efforts will continue and hung the phone up. Wells Fargo instructed me not to send any fax or pay anything.
The next two days I received a letter from CAMCO letting me know that my amount due was now $1,258.42. I will be calling the attorney general of Washington and reporting this company. My guess is that CAMCO is getting this information off credit reports and off lists from credit card companies. Beware!
