I have a question on this collection agency. My
husband received a letter from them yesterday saying
they purchased his debt for collection.
Long story short. He co-signed on a car for a friend
in Pennsylvania about four years ago and the owner could not pay. He could not either at the time as he was going through a divorce. So now it is on his credit in the amount of $6,536.37.
They offered a 90% settlement for $5,882.73. Not much of discount I think.
Should he not pay or dispute?
Any advice would be great..Thanks:)

Missy,
First of all you need to have them validate the debt by sending them a debt validation letter certified mail with return receipt. Calvary Portfolio is known for trying to collect on debts they don't have, debts that have already been paid. DO NOT pay them a dime til they give you the proof that they have the debt.
Here is the link to a sample debt validation letter. http://

I received a letter from Cavalry saying I owe a debt. I just printing the validations letter. However, they also sent another document and I am not sure if I should accept of reject it.
This is what it says:

I think this letter is generic but it needs your attention.
My understanding is that if there is a possible dispute later while working with this CA, do you want to take the matter to the court or settle it outside. I am not too sure about it, you can consult with a specialized lawyer.
CAVARLY PROBLEMS TOO :(
I have cavarly problems, but I have NEVER recieved anything from them except once when they was going to garnish my wages, it was for a different county but i couldn't take that chance, lol. So I left my job of 5 years and went to do something on my own, Since I have not gotten anything from them at all, and I was making payments to them for almost 2 years before this and they wanted more, so i said hum, and they sent my payment back to me..This is messed up!! I can't stand em
