So today I got a call from a private number informing my wife that I was being sued and for me to call this number 8882466420 with a case number. I called the number an was informed it was for a credit card that I had with HSBC and that they were a a process surver and needed to confirm my residence. I called Hsbc to find out that I did have a outstanding balance with them from 2008 of $562.00 so i tried to pay.
Hsbc told me my acct had been sold to another company Forward Property inc and they provided me the number so I called them and number was no longer active. I called back to the first number and the guy said hey well we can settle this out of court for $562.00 1 time payment if not you will be sued for $2500.00 . I asked them to provide me with a VOD so I can pay them and he told me he couldnt because that was there evidence to the judge that they tried to contact me before.
He got upset and said look you have untill Tuesday to pay if you do fine if not we will serve you on Wed morning. So I dont know what to do ,

Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
If the account has been really sold to them, then I don't find any reason to not validate the debt. You should send them a written notice (via certified mail) to validate the debt. If they don't send you anything, then send a cease and desist letter. If they really possess the account, then you can pay the amount and request them to update your account status once the debt is paid off. Don't get scared. A lot of collection agencies use this scare tactic to fetch money.
