Not sure how to handle this - collection notice

17 years 4 months ago
In Nov '08 I took my guitar to a local music store for a simple repair job. The guy at the store basically botched the job and had to re-do it 3 times, and damaged my guitar in the process. After the 3rd time, I told the store manager that I wasn't going to pay a dime for the work, and he basically said "uh ok" and I left. Today I got a collection notice from (hehe) Allen, Lewis & Associates trying to collect. I assumed the store would just take me to small claims court, in which case I was expecting to counter-sue for the damage they caused.

 

How can I keep my money safe?

I did move my money out of a bank of america account and closed it, I figured they might try something like that. Many of my accounts including my mortgage were taken over by bank of america. But Michelle3568 raised a good question for me to ask, kind of another piece of this puzzle I have to work through. If I am settling with a particular credit card and lets say I have to pay them a certain amount, lets say 6 payments over 6 months.

Hubby's old debt...What to do?

17 years 4 months ago
My husband had a vehicle repossessed in 1996. Before we were married. They sold the truck and said that he was responsible for the difference.The debt that he owed then was about 6500$. Earlier this year we received a letter from a credit bureau with a list of debts that I knew we were responsible for. I started paying what I could. Now everything is paid off except for that and I realize that they want 13500.00 for that old vehicle debt with interest. Is there a limit to what they can charge in interest? Because of the other accounts I paid does that affect the SOL?

 

How can I keep my money safe?

I am leary about the debt settlement process, especially when it comes to my bank account? I guess I'm worried about one of the companies grabbing what cash I'm trying to save to settle with later. Do I need to store my cash under the mattress if things get crazy and they want to sue me? What is a safe way to keep my cash? Any help would be appreciated!

Northland Group - Super Long Recorded Messages?

17 years 4 months ago
I got a call from the northland group, trying to contact someone else, regarding a debt obviously, on my phone today. The message was one of those pre-recorded ones asking the debtor to call a "Sarah" back. But that's not the kicker! Is starts off with the typical "this is a very important call for (insert debtor's name here), if you are not (insert debtor's name here) then hang up now." It then states there will be a 3 second delay, which counts off with 3 beeps.

Does anyone know how to contact the pay day loan company Magnum_Z direct pay? I got a $250 loan back in December and have been paying $75 every 2 wks, so far it's $300 in just fees, nothing toward the principal. I don't want to close my account and figure I might as well just pay the loan and be done with it, but can not find the number I had written down. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
