FTC vs. freecreditreport.com

17 years 1 month ago
Has anyone seen these commercials yet where the Federal Trade Commission is mocking freecreditreport.com's TV commercials. YES!!! Finally someone is going after them for misleading people into believing that they are going to not have to pay anything to see their free credit reports. I'm sure that almost all of the money that they are making is from people who sign up for the free credit monitoring trial and then don't cancel in time before they get charged. Go FTC!!!

 

Law offices acting as Debt Collector

17 years 1 month ago
I live in Arizona and have gotten several letters from what appears to be law firms with most operating under LLC names.  In the letter they state that this is a communication from a debt collector.  This is an attempt to collect a debt, any information obtained, etc...  the standard paragraph you see everywhere. My question is, Collection Agencies need to be licensed in the state of Arizona...  does that apply to law firms too?  Example:  Jerold Kaplan Law Office, P.C.   are they are law office or a debt collector? If they do not have a license how do I handle the response to them a

Made 9 payments towards rehab, now what?

17 years 1 month ago
Hi, I just made my ninth and final payment towards rehabing my defaulted student loans.  I was therefore surprised to receive a letter from the California Student Aid Commission requesting a new agreement be signed with Premiere Credit at double the payment amount.  It also stated that if a new note was not signed, my wages would be garnished immediately.  I contacted EdFund and they stated they could not figure out why the garnishment was being pursued as they could see my record of on time payments.  I am loathe to call Premiere Credit due to their less than reputable customer service. 

 

can we sell or buy anything after filing, but before 341 meeting?

17 years 1 month ago
We are just starting the process and I have a few of questions: We were going to sell an older model car that we own (worth about $2000) and turn around and buy a different car. It would basically be an even trade (we may have to come up with a couple hundred dollars). We just filed Ch. 13 yesterday and the lawyer says we should wait.

URGENT NEED - BEGGING FOR HELP

17 years 1 month ago
I am sorry to keep posting but now I have an urgent need. The bank "supposedly" froze our account BUT the loan payments went through. We are now $2200 in deficit between the payments and the bank fees. The manager said she can reimburse the fees but can't do anything about the payments. I have a knot in my stomach and I'm shaking. We simply can't afford this ! We are behind on everything because of these "loans". And they have been paid for many times over. Can someone/anyone tell me what I can do ? I am in Massachusetts and these types of loans are ILLEGAL. Thank You

 

Question on collection process??

17 years 1 month ago
I have a topic in the PDL help topic and they requested I ask the question in this forum.  Please help!!! Okay, here is the latest with Avantis Finacial.  After 3 months I finally received my mail from my old address that they sent three certified letters to.  The first one stating they were going to sue me and I had to appear in court, the second stating they sued me and one because I did not show up and the third one that they were sending a letter to my employer to have them garnish my wages.  I also r
