Has anyone ever had any experiences with RJM Acquisitions LLC NY? I received a letter in the mail from this company about three weeks ago about a fingerhut account that I had 5 years ago (or more).
They say they will remove it,
only to have the debt show up again some years down the road. Please do
your homework when it comes to debt collectors and required them to do
what is required of them under the law. Also paying off an old debt
does not guarantee that another company won't try to collect from you
later. Been there, done that

Look I just got this letter in
the mail and it says i owe them 231.16? I have never heard of this
company or "finger hut" This looks and sounds like a scam but also might
be legit. I have to check this out at work
2morow.

I call them predatory lenders,
they gave me a card when my credit really sucked, with an outrageous
intrest rate. I think when they participate in activity like this they
deserve what they get.
You are definitely correct BDW
as they love doing that! Let's say they say that the face value of the
debt that they've bought is for $2000! What they will do is try to get
you to settle with "them" for $700 or so lump sum, or, get you to agree,
in writing, to a payment plan, thus having you think that they are such
"swell people" by giving you such a break that it would be a sin to not
go for such a bargain!LOL! They get the $700 from you,thus re-aging the
debt if it was out of statue of limitations, having you think that it's
now "SETTLED" and will be taken off of your credit, hey, they promised
right?LOL, legally, it can stay on your report for 7 more years now that
it's seen as a "current" debt by them re-aging it report wise, then,
they go and sell the debt to another agency,whereby they are "NOT"
legally obligated to tell you that they have sold your supposed debt to
another agency, and they "LEGALLY" come after you for the $1300 that's
still left on the debt! These agencies talk to each other, and often are
sponsored by each other! If they can get someone to pay, that person
then becomes one of their "PIGEONS", or, an easy mark for lots of
agencies to continually buy, and sell the debt, keep comming after you
over and over again for as long as they want!, especially if the statute
hasn't run out yet! I have known them to try to collect on debts that
were almost 40 years old! You have to know your rights!, so, you will be
abled to legally give these bums a left hook, and an
uppercut!LOL!

Give it to them with
knowledge, most of them don't even care to do the
job.
I just received my chapter 7
discharge on March 12, 2007. In a notice dated March 30, 2007 RJM
acquisitions informed me they are my new creitor. It's a $110 bill from
Fingerhut and shows the last payment received was January 31, 1996.
I've never ordered a thing from Fingerhut. I also saw on my report that
was included in my bankruptcy tha RJM had 2 book clubs listed as in
collections.
#1 The debt is over 11 years old.
#2 I filed bankruptcy and am protected from creditors coming out of the
woodwork with old debt like this.
#3 It's ELEVEN years old!

The SOL has probably run.
Also, if this debt was discharged in bankruptcy, it would mean a great
deal of trouble for RJM. I would consult with an attorney. By reading
posts here, I can see that RJM is also fond of trying to collect in
states in which it is not licensed.
Does anyone know what the
statute of limitations is for debt collection? I just got one from them
for $600+ for something I ordered from fingerhut back in 1997!! I moved
out of the country in 1994...what kind of crap is
that?
