Update.
I gave Nelson a call and spoke to a guy named Anthony. He gave be some information and was like they do not have the debt in their office anymore. But if i want to settle and take care of the debt that he can talk to his manger about getting my files back into their system.
I was like do what you have to do. He than needed my employee information and I refuse.
He told me okay, he will get back to be within 24 to 48 hours to inform me if he can get my account back into the office.
Why do i have to give up my emplyee information???

Before contacting Capital One, please check whether the statute of limitation of the debt is over. If If it has passed its limit then you don't have to worry about the debt since no creditor can take take any action against you.
Now, when does the SOL start?
| Quote: | | The statute of limitations (SOL) for a delinquent debt is the time limit for the creditor to file a lawsuit. This period starts when the debtor becomes delinquent. The fact that the SOL has "run" (expired) on a particular debt will not necessarily prevent a lawsuit from being filed (via a Summons And Complaint), but the defendant can have the suit dismissed on this basis. |
If the SOL has not expired then call Capital One and inquire about your debt and try to negotiate.

thanks, Phoenix...
is the SOL date the last time i made a payment on the account? If so, i'm not sure where i can find this information. Back then, I did not have a good track record in keeping up with my paperwork or bills All i know is the last time a payment on the account was sometime back in 2004.

Have you checked your credit report to see who is reporting this account? If not, I would do so right away. Those are the people who you should be contacting.

You can also find out when the last payment was made on this account, when you pull a copy of your credit report.

okay, i looked on my credit reports and what i gathered from it...the last payment was made on June 2004. However, all of it says that last time it was reported was on 12/05.
I live in FL and i beleive the SOL is 4 years. can anyone else confirm this?
If the SOL is expired, they can they take me to court?? I plan on calling captial one today to see where my account is since it is no longer with Nelson.

ugh, i called capital one and the representative asked me a couple of question and wanted to updated my current information. OF that was taken care of, she gave me the phone number to Track America. Who in turn gave me the number to Nelson, Watson and Associates.
I informed the rep that I spoken to them already and that they do not have my file open. He put me on hold to call and inquired about it. Got back on the line and told me that they have given intrucstion to reopen the file and to call back tomorrow.
has anyone ever got the run around on this? how much trouble am i in now for updating my information with captial one?
i just want to settle and move foward.....

Hi people,
I contacted Nelson.. today and they said i owe 7,500 and informed me that capital one only settles 65 cents on the dollar; which will make the settlement offer about 4,700.
I can't afford that and I offered them 3,000 for over a two month span. The representative put me on hold to speak to a supervisor.
Supervisor got on the line and told me that 3K was really low for what I owe. He went on and askeed me how am i getting the money and if i can get the 3k by the end of the month. If, I think i can, he will contact Capital One to see if they will take that one payment offer and everything will be settle.
The two people I spoke to were REALLY nice. They say they will call back once they get in touch with capital one.
are they pulling my chain? it just seem too good to be true.
thanks for reading...i'm sure i have been a handful~

Sounds like CA BS to me, tell them to puti it ALL in writing and send it to you. You will probably not receive it in writing. Never offer to settle without a written agreement.
