Erika Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I've got a collection from Asset on my reports that I can't budge. I've DV'd them and I get statements that come from another collection agency - ER Solutions. I contacted the OC - Diners Club - to request settlement and pay for delete. They responded that they can't do that because they sold the debt. So, I guess I'm back to square one with Asset.I have another collection from a local CA for $196 for a dental bill. I tried writing the dentist's office and settling. I said I would pay the bill in full if they pulled it from the CA. I got no response. I'd like to know I'm not wasting my time with a debt that was bought and not just being collected by a 3rd party.Is there any way of knowing before I call the OC?Thanks,erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 No way of telling before you call. Some OC's will even lie...they just don't want to be bothered any more.If the OC says they sold the debt, the best bet is to beleive them and assume that its now in the hands of a JDB. Act accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
