Please note, I am in no way employed, contracted, or otherwise beneficially associated with RJM.
The past few years have been rough on me, much like many people. I get quite a few calls everyday from Debt Collectors using the same old hard sale tactics, and I'll tell you now, those companies are last on the list to be paid, if they ever do. I recently received a few letters from RJM about debts going as far back as 2000, from 3 banks, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and Compass. I am well aware of all the debts. Apparently, they have owned these accounts for several years, but not once have they tried to call me. They only sent out periodic letters (Which until now, went to old addresses) with offers of settlement.
Did a little research, and decided to call them up. The agent I spoke to (Otis) was American (huge plus in my book), friendly, and talkative heh. Thanks to their business practices, I have already paid off 1 of the debts, and have monthly installments of only $35/month to pay the others.
In addition, they removed the credit bureau reporting on the 1 I paid immediately, and are showing positive payments on the other one (The wachovia account is too old to list on credit), and have promised to delete it completely if I want when its paid.
If all debt companies did business like RJM, the debt collection industry would be in MUCH better shape, and more people would pay off their old debts.
