Hi
Monty stated that you do not have to deal with a collection company.
I have an R9 debt with Scotia Visa which I tried to pay off this morning directly with them. They first said they couldnt discuss or make an offer as the debt had been passed onto an outside collection company. I said I have a right to know if this debt has not been sold or just asigned for collection. They said asigned , but would check as they then said I could discuss settlement terms with them now. Hold the line, they then come back with,. Sorry we have a contract for collection with a company for this debt, and you have to deal with them. I then said can you give me the name of the collection company and the said they would not disclose this.
I have had a number of call from agents for this , the one time we were in my son answered the phone, he explained I wasnt in and the collector the said , do you know that your daddy owes lots of money and cant pay his bills. It was a witheld number .
This week I have had 2 calls from Natalie Law office.
Can I write to Scotia visa and force them to accept payment?
Is Natalie Law office a collection agency?
Hope this is the write forum.. First time
