About 4 months ago I started using Superior Debt Services to get rid of some debt. Well today I got a call at work from a debt collection agency representing one of the credit cards I put on Superior, they told me they dont deal with debt consolidation companies and that I need to settle with them? What should I do, this guy sounded real serious?
Any advice would be nice.
Thanks


TG, ask your consultant what is the status of this account included in the plan. Tell him that you are being contacted by the collection agency and he sounds serious towards you. Divert the calls towards your counselor who needs to handle this matter. It will be better to keep yourself outside this matter and be an active listener. Insist your consultant to straighten this problem.

Wow thanks for the link. The man I talked to seemd like he was angry. They called me at work, the lady who answers the phones just told me I had a phone call so I picked it up. I'll have to ask her tomorrow what the man said to her. But anyway tomorrow morning I'm going to call Superior Debt and see what they say. Thanks for the advice, I was really freakin out after I talked to that guy.
Thanks again.

*edit*
Sorry that was me (TG) who posted the first message, didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

Sample letter of writing a debt validation is in the link below. Send the letter through certified mail and keep the green copy in your folder. This is a proof that you tried to contact the company and they failed to respond you with the details if you want to pursue legal actions against them.

If you do not get a response from the collection agency, send a follow up letter after 30 days. If the company does not respond to your debt validation calls and have hit your credit file with a negative entry, dispute with the CRA reporting the item along with copies of these letters sent to the CA. The item will be removed from your file if your dispute is found correct. Sample letters are available in the link below

Follow up.
Ok on Thursday I called my consultant first thing this morning, she took down all the information from me. She told me don't talk to them any more and she will call them up. Well today when I got to work, the same guy called again, this time I asked the lady at the front desk to send him to my voice mail. He just left a message telling me to call him. The first time I talked to him I told him not to call me at work anymore.
Anyway, will it be ok to send these letters after my consultant told me not to talk to them anymore?

Thanks again for everyones help and advice.
