ok here goes... i gotta know...i had this loan i defaulted on which was Ten dollar payday ok...well the amount they loaned me was $200.00 so i call them up and they tell me my balance was $380.00 and i told her i already sent $360.00 monday quick collect/western union and then this collection agency calls me and tells me that i owe $505.00 to the law offices of norman caleena or however ya spell it...now then what do you think i should do please? finnish paying the rest up to $505.00 or just the other $20.00 that tendollarpayday told me i owed? thanks


When you are dealing with the lender and sending them money, you should see whether they have posted money towards your account. If that is done, you don't need to worry about this CA. If the lender has not posted your money, call them to inform that the payment was done by you and the account is not updated. They will check in their system and give you the remaining balance.

The collector may have got your file from the lender before the payment was done by you. Tell the CA that you are working with the original creditor and they shouldn't call you.

This doesn't sound right to me. Everything is online now. Why should they take so long to update your file? Do you have the receipt of the payment done?

Insist them to do it now because the collection agency is calling you for the payment. You need to show them proof that the payment is done. The western union receipt is important proof other than your updated statement with the loan company.

The collection agency that called you is actually A.C.A. Recovery who represent themselves as being from the Law Office of Norman G. Kalina. They are based in NJ.

One of my pdls was turned over to them, and they sent me a letter saying the amt. owed was over $300 more than what I should owe. They've also quoted you an extremely high balance. I personally think they are inflating the actual debt to make a profit.

I would suggest sending them a debt validation letter and also including a cease & desist request with it telling them they are not to contact you by phone, all correspondence should be sent to you in writing.

When I sent them a validation request, I never heard anything back. So if you send this, it might get them to back off.

That's how collection agencies work (I think it is called working the accounts on contingency). They pay the creditor a percentage of the collected debt at the first of each month. I don't think there is anything fishy about what the original creditor told you, it's most likely the truth.
