I received a call from Nationwide today that threw me off. They said I owed $52.00 on my AT&T bill that went to them for collections. I have 4 phone numbers with AT&T presently. I thought it was from the transfer of my account from the ST. Thomas / Puerto Rico market to the states. They told me it was- but I explained that I transferred the phone number and all roll over minutes- why would the balance not transfer? And if I owed- why wouldn't they shut off my existing accounts?
Against my better judgment (I was in a rush and started to panic about a bad mark on my credit) I gave the manager, Ms. Parker, my cc number to pay the debt under the condition she would be sending me an email stating that she was removing this debt from my credit completely. She told me it would be in my inbox within an hour. This was 10 hours ago. This debt is also not on my credit reports but they have already charged my card. Is this a scam? What can I do?
