I received a call at my place of business today. They said I have a debt from 1995 and last payment was 2002. I owed over $4,000 but will bring it down to $2,000. I explained that it was paid off and they said it wasn't. I explained the statute of limitation is 6 years in NY and why haven't they contact me? I have been in the same address for 12 years. They said the statute of limitation in NY for revolving accounts is 15 years. I just looked it up and it isn't; it is 6 years. They couldn't provide who paid the bill in 2002. A Paul Reiser said that I have until tomorrow to call or I will be summoned to court.
First they called me at work. This is, I believe, against the law. On top of it, they cannot show proof of the bill.
To top it off, they used my old married name and was divorced in 1997. So, why didn't they have their information updated?
BTW, it was for a Lechmere credit card. Lechmere closed in 1997.
BEWARE with this Company. They are looking for $. Do not fall for this awful company. Fraud!!!
