How to clear a paid debt from my report.

18 years 10 months ago
Hello, I was served with a letter that stated I owed money, and if it was not paid by a the small claims court date, it would go on my credit report. I paid, and this still went on my credit report. I tried to dispute it, and the credit agency said it is to remain until 2010. Can I sue this person that sent a wrongful claim to the company?

Collection to incorrect phone #

18 years 10 months ago
I have a question. I keep getting a call from a Universal Fidelity at 614-789-4825. When I have answered the phone they are looking for a chiropratic firm. I have told them repeatadly, that the phone number is a residental number. They will not quit calling me. I have filed a complaint with the BBB, but they have not responded to the complaint yet. I am wondering if I should take this to a JAG attorney at the local base to get help? I am tired of wasting my time and running to the phone every time they call. I run everytime because my spouse is deployed and I think it's him.

 

Paying for college on my own

18 years 10 months ago
I have been paying for myself since I was 16 years old, constantly working one to three jobs at a time just to pay my tuition. Unfortunately the cost of books and my family's financial needs left me with next to no money at all and I had to take out several credit cards to pay my tuition. I paid off all of them but one and it has the worst apr ever. Every month I pay at least 75 into it and they take 55 for fees so I can never make headway. On top of that my car is breaking down and my cat needs $700 worth of vet care for his asthma/infection in his mouth.

 

I received a summons from Palisades Collection LLC

18 years 10 months ago
I received a summons from a process server tonight from attorneys representing this company. While we have been negotiating debt settlements with our other creditors (and have settled half of them), this is the first time we have ever been contacted by Palisades - a summons, we've never gotten a letter or phone call from them. Can a collection agency take us to court without attempting to contact us first?

A little confused...

18 years 10 months ago
I have done so much reading it's helped a lot! However, I am unsure of what to do next. I closed out account and opened a new one. We(husband and I) have a few loans outstanding some of which are to be debited tomorrow. What do I do now? Should I contact them and tell them they've loaned to me illegally, or should I wait for them to contact me? I'm more worried about Sonic and Route 66 hounding me at work. I'm reading about Sonic and their wage garnishments. Should I send them a letter to revoke that?

Charge Off/Collection Fraudulent debt lingers

18 years 10 months ago
Hello Guys, Your site is great. I have a problem. I wonder can you guys advise me. I had a charge card account with Banana Republic. I was disputing a charge on the card but before it was resolved, they sold the debt to Arrow Financial. As no-one could produce proof of my credit card purchase, Arrow Financial dropped the pursuit of the debt. However, on my credit report Banana Republic through GEMB still has a "charge off/collection/derogatory" notice on the debt which is listed as sold.

Which collection agency handles Wachovia Bank? They told me that they were from the attorneys office. They didn't say which one though.
