I have a long standing debt with WAMU for an old credit card. Several years ago, I was contacted by an outfit in Houston, TX. I made arrangements with them to make payments on the debt. I sent them quite a few payments; never heard from them again. I got concerned and wrote, asking for an accounting of the payments and the debt; no answer. Concerned that I was sending money to a black hole, I stopped sending payments & heard nothing.
Later, I got a privacy statement from a CA Holding, Inc..
