Negotiations with a collector

19 years ago
Hello all - I could really use some advice for dealing with a collection agency. Basically, in December, they intimidated me into a full payment via 2 bank withdrawals.

What was interesting was when they spoke to the owner of two storefront payday lender shops.

Does anyone know who the collection agency is for checkngo online? everytime I do a search Paragon way comes up, is this who collects from them. I wrote a letter to the first bank of delaware, since this is the lender on my checkngo loan contract, wonder if they will respond. I pulled their code of ethics from thier webpage. Thought I would do a little research for my next nasty phone call with checkngo.
