Came back verified... now what?

So I've sent two different letters (Certified) to the CA with no luck. No response at all. I have only received contact from this CA once when they sent me a PFD letter. That's when I immediately sent the DV letters.

So then I sent disputes to all the CRA's and EX came back verified, one was deleted, the other I have yet to hear from.

What do I do now? Do I sue? The remaining two are being reported as disputed, so there's no violation there. The company is Performance Capital Management (they now OWN the debt).

I'm confused.

You received an initial communication from CA, send a DV- which the CA has not responded to yet, you disputed with the CRAs..... what are your TLs showing?...... you've listed verified, deleted and disputed.... which is it?

You're right, it is confusing. I'll try to better explain:

CRA's: Disputed: EX-Verified, EQ-Deleted, TU-Nothing

CA: No response to DV letters. The first/only communication was a PFD. DV was sent within a day of receiving the PFD.

CA is reporting only that debt is disputed.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunely, the CA is doing right by reporting the debt is "disputed" to the CRAs. And, the CA can take as long as they want to respond to your DV as long as they keep the listing "disputed" in all 3 of your credit reports.

You may have to send them an ITS letter in order to force some sort of action. Since they haven't responded to your DVs, then it's likely they don't have any proof that the debt is yours.

Unusual- isn't it?

I think the CA's are on to us. On older accounts they know it is not in our best interests to pay them and restart the 7 year reporting clock. Since $$ is their motivation, not destroying your credit after you pay. I suspect we might see more PFD's in the future. Just read the fine print, the very fine print, and the super fine print on their pfd. I don't trust a CA and I just know they hid a weasel out in the print somewhere.

I dont think you can restart the reporting clock........maybe the SOL for your state but the reporting clock starts from the DOFD

Correct- you can NOT restart the reporting clock. You can restart the SOL clock by making a partial payment or even agreeing to make a payment in some states, on a debt that is in collections.

So it sounds like it would benefit the CA to PFD because once you have made that payment - which is usually a partial of what you owe - you have restarted the SOL and made it a collectable debt so they can resell the portion you didn't pay.

I'd make my own PFD back at 'em that included whatever language needed to protect yourself from liability on whatever portion that was not paid.

Not saying I would do this. But if I had a unpaid open CA account that was 6 months from the 7 year limit. And I paid them. This would not restart the reporting clock and it would still drop off in 6 months???

Not true- if you have sent a timely DV to a CA, they must cease ALL collection activity. That includes verifying TL's that are disputed, since reporting IS collection activity. That is the essence of the 1-2 punch.
