I have wrote about this before but wanted to get a collectors intake on this situation. I have an account with a collection agency for a wells fargo account. It went into 'charge off' mode in Jan. of last year. They wrote me in the early part of last year about holding the account (although Wells Fargo said it was still 'in house'-which could be). In April, I wrote them. NOT ASKING FOR validation but trying to make payment arrangements with them. I knew the debt was valid and was correct. I heard nothing back from them. I wrote letter after letter, I heard nothing.

I received a call @ 9:45am from United Legal and they were demanding full payment of payday loan for Rio Resources. I stayed calm (surprisingly) and told them to call Brooke at Town & Country and that Rio Recources had accepted their proposal. Mike stated that United Legal was entitled to the money because the account had been turned over to them. I said ok whatever, we'll see who actually gets the money. Just give Town & Country a call. Guess what, United Legal as of 3:00pm today still hadn't called. Brooke told me not to worry they will deal with them.

Thanks   Need advice on negotiating on a Garnishment anonymous 19 years 6 months ago I filed bankruptcy in 2002 and included a TERI student loan as part of my debts to be discharged. I have now learned that private Law school loans CANNOT be discharged and thus this 10 year old debt is still hanging over my head. In 2002, I was unemployed and a law firm froze my bank assets for this old 8k loan. I panicked and filed bankruptcy. I moved on and thought it was resolved…I have a good job, got back in school and have my feral loan deferred. On Jan 2, I learned that the law firm as calmly waited to garnish my wages by the maximum 25%!   Phone for Antilles Ventures anonymous 19 years 6 months ago I have recently come upon a disconnected number for Antilles Ventures Limited in Missouri with no forwarding number.
