CAMCO ripoff, CAMCO sent a letter saying i owed 1,216.96 from a visa card i never had, said in the end they would settle debt for 199.00 ROCKFORD Illinois
i recieved a letter in the mail today and opened it to find an attempt to collect a debt of 1,216.96. i called the 877 number to find out what the debt was for. a mr trevor jackson said it was for a visa card from 1991.
i told him i had never had a visa card in 1991 from the particular bank he mentioned , in fact i didn't even have a credit card at all at that time.he assured me he was not trying to upset me, and said we could ettle this without me getting upset, i am on disability and also have a heart condition at 47.
bottom line he went from asking for 1200 some $ to 199.00 all i had to do is give him 4 post dated checks of 50.00 each and we would avoid litigation.

Why pay a debt that is not yours and why pay a debt they CANNOT sue you on. Even threatening a lawsuit is against the law. If you gave him post dated checks immediately inform your bank you have been scammed and close the account.
