Credit card turned to collections.
I had a credit card, it was a very high intrest rate. My Credit report states written off..I have a collection company (allied) attempting to collect so my husband made a payment, But my question is do I have to pay the collection agency if it has been written off? Should I ask to have it validated? It is only $600.00 but right now that is a million.. Thanks.

A collection agency can try to collect a write off or charged off debt. You can now send a debt validation letter and ask them to validate the debt. Send this letter through CRRR.
You can also go through the following discussion for clarity: - Collection Agency trying to collect written off debt can a collection agency legally collect a charged off debt

Finck, just because it was "written off" doesn't mean it is uncollectable, they hire a CA or sell it to a JDB who will then try to collect it. Send them a DV letter. What state are you in and when did your husband make the last payment?

Since you husband made a payment, theat may have re-started the Statutes of Limitations(SOL), if it was out of date. You can check you state laws on this.
Do a search for Allied at the top of the screen,under whre it says Live Chat, and see what others have dealt with and what they have done with this company..karen __________________
