Hi, my name is Branen and I have a similar issue but may not have done the necessary research before agreeing to paying the debt.
Currently, I am making Monthly payments to Asset Acceptance for a Ballys account that went South. I have yet to see a copy of the notice from Ballys about the account moving to collections nor did I receive any telecommunications. Do these facts have any validity?
I asked the Asset account rep if they would exponge the account from my CR, but all she said was that she would list it as Paid In Full. Does my credit score go up upon payment or will it be the same?
I am tempted to rescinding payment on this account, but I fear that I may be hurting myself in doing so.
What should I do? I am 23 and trying to maintain a healthy line of credit and this has not been an easy account (or Collections Agency) to work with!
Please Email if you have any information that may be helpful. I will also check this forum soon for potential replies.
Thank you for your assistance and understanding!
Branen
