You made the right move, in getting that letter out. Save your payment receipt for the certified letter fee, which also counts as evidence. You might qualify for a free credit report through Trans Union, if not, don't pay anymore than $9, and please stay away from "Pretend Free" offers from online businesses, and T.V. Ads.:) Inform Trans Union that you want to run a security check for possible falsified information, and that you are concerned, your credit status might have been damaged. Once for the year 2004, they might let you have it cost free. If possible, could you please post that Jamacain address for us. There are other volunteers researching and investigating to determine a pattern, in this alleged line of corruption. This might also alert other victims. Did you SAVE THOSE VOICE MAILS???? Please tell me yes. Those voice mails are EVIDENCE varifiable in Court, that these people are breaking the Law. She's not supposed to be calling you repeatedly, according to the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. Even if she wasn't hostile, the repeated calls ARE STILL ILLEGAL to ANY ONE at the called phone number. Even if they really do leave you alone, you might consider sharing that information with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov If this corporation is in violation, they have to be held accountable, but I don't think anyone is reporting this to FTC. I hope they are and plan to look into the FTC angle further. If possible, please get back to us on how this turns out. Thank you.
