Have you ever had a credit card with Alaskan Airlines? I had a credit card called that (found out it was through Bank of America). After 6 years of dealing with them I finally settled with this one collection company. They said my debt was $16,000 (original amount on the card was $3,500). I paid the settlement cost of $3,000 in Sept. 09. In March of 2010 I got a letter from Asset Management Professionals (Worldwide Asset Purchasing was their "client") stating that they were trying to take care of this debt. I sent them a copy of my settlement agreement that stated I had paid the debt. I didn't hear from THAT company again.
Today I got 5 calls from Niagra Credit Solutions informing them I owed them $16,500 and I needed to pay immediately. I explained that I had paid off the debt, that it had been taken off my credit report, that I had already dealt with this other company. That's when they told me they were collecting for their "client" Worldwide...
I called the first collection company that said they represented Worldwide and they said they had received my letter and had reported it back to Worldwide. I then called Niagra and they said they could only report it taken care of if I faxed them a copy of the letter and a copy of my canceled check (front AND back) and they had to be able to see the account numbers clearly. ???? Serious red flag there.
I asked for Worldwide's phone number and was given 1-800-305-9811, but when I called I got a company named Galaxy.
