Expert Advice When You Need It Most
Debt collectionthere is a company that is trying to collect a debt from me. What i dont understand is that they called me and asked me to make a donation which they tricked me into agreeing i think. anyways they told me they would send me information and the next thing i know its a bill of $500. i never borrowed any money or gave them any and now they are saying that they are going to give my name to the local credit bureau. Can they do this? and plus they say that my company participated in a redio advertisment....i dont own a company. so i dont understand. will this affect my credit? Attorney answers (1)
You need todispute the in writing and demand a validation of the debt. You have many other rights outlined in the fair debt collection practices act. I have pasted a link below
