I was recently contacted by a collection agency attempting to collect on a $3,000+ loan they claim I took out in 1997. Whoever took the loan out paid on it for four years and then quit.

I never took this loan out, but they absolutely say it's my debt. They can provide me no documentation such as a signature, location of the origination of this loan, nothing. All they can tell me is that my name/social security number match up to this loan and that I absolutely have to pay it. Do I have any ground to stand on here with the lack of documentation?

Thanks,
John


Red,first you have to find out if this is your debt,send the CA a debt validation letter.There are forms in this forum you can use or browse the forums on how to do it. Second,depending on your state,it may well be out of the statutes of limitations. But you need to find out how they have your ss number,etc. Good luck :D ...Karen

If you are comfident that you dont owe any money, file a complaint with the FTC and bbb. Check your credit file as well because it is illegal for them to commit fraud.
Call them and ask as many questions and record the phone calls but dont let them know youre recording. If its illegal to record the calls in your state do it anyways and and write out the conversation for documentation.
