American Agencies veterans? Anyone?

I've read the threads and I see lots of angst about this evil agency.

Has anyone gotten them to delete?

How about court. If I sue in small claims, would they bother showing up?

Here's my scenario:

I have a TL from them listing as sent to collections in 2002 for approx $80.00

I disputed with CRA's to no avail--always verified.

I DV'd them, got ignored, DV'd again, got ignored, sent intent to sue, got validation (statements) but account values don't match. Not only that, the statement is from a utility in 2000.

Im wondering....should I just continue with filing suit and see what happens? Will they "surprise" me with new validating info at court?

I know they wont PFD.

First, did they mark the TL as "in dispute" while you were sending multiple DVs? If not, then that's a clear violation of the FDCPA.

IMHO, I'd go ahead and sue...I'd be amazed if they'd even bother to crank up a lawyer for $80...I'd bet you get an offer to settle before it even gets to court...
