I had got a fingerhut card 8 years ago.i got a digital camera for 100.00 dollars stopped working less than a week after.i called fingerhut to see if i could get a refund on it they said no.So i told them i would not be making anymore payments on ot.A couple of years went by a collection agency contacted me about payment i told them the story they only wanted money went on for a while and stopped.now 6 years later asset acceptance keeps sending me letters to show up in court,it looks like false court papers,they are sending me in the mail.I would like to find out what i could do about this matter.


If they really are fake, that is a big no-no. Section 807 of the FDCPA specifically prohibits "The use or distribution of any written communication which simulates or is falsely represented to be a document authorized, issued, or approved by any court, official, or agency of the United States or any State, or which creates a false impression as to its source, authorization, or approval."

Further down the list, section 812 says:
[quote]???? 812. Furnishing certain deceptive forms [15 USC 1692j]

(a) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating.

(b) Any person who violates this section shall be liable to the same extent and in the same manner as a debt collector is liable under section 813 for failure to comply with a provision of this title.

If you know the documents are fake, hold on to them. You may be able to filed a lawsuit against them for FDCPA violations.
