Couple of questions about two different things.
Date: Mon, 07/13/2009 - 22:11
I had a couple of questions. First one being I sent a DV letter to a company on May 5th. I have not heard anything back from them as of yet. How long does it usually take to get a response if they even do respond?
My next question is I have been making regular payments on a debt since January to a certain collection agency with no problems. Last month I get a letter from Allied offering me a settlement on this, which of course I can't do.
I called the agency I had been paying and they told me that the OC had pulled it out of their agency because the full amount was not being collected fast enough. I had to call the OC. I called the OC and I get it all straightened out.
The OC said that I can make my payments directly to them, but I need to send a letter to the new CA letting them know I am going to do this. I am just wondering if I am going to get a hassle from the new CA if I make the rest of the payments to the OC. I trust the OC before I trust most CA's. Is there a appropriate letter to send them, or do I just say this is the way it is going to be. Thank you.

There is no time limit for them to respond, as long as they do n
There is no time limit for them to respond, as long as they do not perform any collection activity. Even if they sue, you can get it thrown out because a suit *is* a collection activity.
First get an arrangement letter from the OC. When you get the letter, send a copy of it with a Cease & Desist letter to the CA.
I trust that you send that DV Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. If not, send it again.
