HSBC Charge-off: Corporate Receivables, ARS, EMCC, Who to pay?
Date: Tue, 10/21/2008 - 17:01
Hi,
I have a very stressful situation on my hands. I missed some payments on my HSBC Retail Services motorcycle loan. I was contacted by Corporate Receivables for collections. I verified with HSBC that I the account was charged off to them. I made a payment agreement with Corporate Receivables and sent them six post dated monthly payments. They still have one more check of mine for next month...
Now I am being contacted by ARS and told I owe the debt to them. They claim it was "recalled" by HSBC and I should be paying them. They claim they are hired by "Fortis Captiol" to collect this debt.
I called HSBC and the only thing they tell me is the debt is owned by EMCC and their phone number.
I called the number they gave me for EMCC and EMCC asks for SSN (they say that is the only way to look up the debt in their system?.... WTF?)
I won't give it to them.
Sorry this has been such a long question, but I am totally confused and stressed. Hopefully the $2000 Corporate Receivables received goes to the correct people ( I have reciepts of their deposited checks)...
WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO? debt validation letters?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. Should I stop payment on the remaining check, until the debt is validated?
