7/13/03 received a call from Capital Aquistions Mgt regarding a Norwest Card Services bill for $3871.84 dating back to Jan 1989. Noreest bought out by Wells Fargo in 1993, called Wells Fargo they had no record of a collection account for me (checked their records going back to 1980) advised me to demand documentation from Capital & forward it to them, I requested documentation and was told they didn't have to provide anything, I reported them to the Better Business Bureau and Attorney General's office in IL, I received a letter from Capitol 9/03 stating they were no longer trying to collect this debt and would forward letter to all 3 credit agencies to remove their negative report (which they did) In 2005 the same exact bill surfaced, only from LVNV Funding, I went thru the same nonsense with them and they also sent a letter to all 3 credit bureaus removing their negative report. On August 14, I received a letter from Nelson, Watson & Assoc trying to collect this same debt, only now it's up to $7883.76, their client is listed as LVNV Funding. I called them and tried to explain, even offered to send copies of all paperwork dating back to 2003. I was told to "be quiet and listen, I was a deadbeat and they were going to ruin my credit, garnishee my salary and put a lien on my home if I didn't pay within 14 business days". I hung up on them, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will also file a complaint with the Attorney Generals office and Consumer Protection
