How Do I Take a Company to Small Claims Court After It Has Gone to a Collection Agency?

Yes, you absolutely can take them to court--and win, too, if you can show that their information is UNsupported. It would cost the collection agency far more money to defend this type of action than to just settle, but even if they are hard asses, take them to court anyway. The damages, however, would have to based on any financial loss you have experienced due to their failure to instruct the credit reporting agencies to remove their derogatory information. Contrary to popular misinformation, you can also sue T-Mobile as well as the credit reporting agencies for the same reasons. Just look up what happened to Trans Union time and again. But it will initially cost you time and money.

5. Collection agency's pay for delete e-mail sent to me?

Your fine on this one! I've received one of these letters from AFNI Credit Collections and RJM Collection agency when I demanded something in writing from them in return for full payment. Some will tell you that you have to get it in writing in the mail from an authorized agent of the company but seriously, they are not going to do that. I listened to people on here who swear that they wo not take it off but when your on the phone with the collections agency, they wo not do it. If you get testy they will send you and email out of fear that they are going to lose the commission so you pay and will probably get something in the mail within 10days for your permanent record. I did not have any problems with the credit bureaus taking it off my credit before I even asked them to, the companies kept their word. I say go for it!

No, i got trapped before by paying certain percentage they said, but the remain amount is still in my record, not even better than i did not pay anything. They are not gonna do things nice to you. It is just a thousand dollar, unless you pay it off, otherwise do not bother to pay any penny to them. that will be end up the same even thought you pay half of it. This is obviously a trap. They will come back for another part. Or you really wanna clear it up, go to the creidt union, show debt counsleor the statement the collection agency sent you, and ask for advice.

7. What is the most inappropriate experience you had with a debt collection agency?

I had an Amex charge card that I had never used. We had a cruise coming up and Amex was a great travel card so I decided to use the card, not realizing that it had to be paid off on 30 days. This was no credit card. So when I returned from vacation I found that Amex had sent my account to a collection agency. The agency was polite enough. They called me up and advised if I paid off the account within a certain period of time, any interest charges would be waived. Of course they lied. I paid off the account only to have them call back in a not so polite way and demand interest charges. I reminded them that the call had been recorded. They laughed and a "so what, you still owe it" response came out of her mouth. So I paid the interest, and vowed never to own Amex again. It took me awhile, but I managed to get my credit card rating back to where it was before they threw me under the bus. Lying collection agencies. My fault, not theirs, for being so trusting
