Hi,
I owe a credit card bill with Orchard Bank, HSBC, about $1200. I have had this debt since last year and I haven't paid on it for several months.
A week or two ago, I got a call from IDT Carmel stating that they had taken over this debt and they wanted me to settle. I told them I couldn't settle, but that I would make payment arrangements. I set up a check over the phone for $200, to be taken out of my account on 10/31. After that, they called my husband, who was unaware of this bill, since I pay all of our bills.
