jeffbaltimore Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) There are two collection agencies trying to collect on a debt that was already paid. Here is a little background:I had several loans that I consolidated. All the loans consolidated were with the same lender. The original lender was paid. Now there are two collection agencies trying to collect from the original lender, not the consolidation lender. I sent a validation letter to both and they sent me paperwork from the original creditor. It is almost as though the original lender is trying to double dip: they have already been paid but are still trying to collect. What should I do?Update: I spoke with collection agency again today. They told me that the loan is a personal loan from Sallie Mae and cannot be consolidated. However, as stated earlier in this post, they replied to debt validation request by sending me the promissory note that I used for consolidation. The representative is simply not listening to what I am saying. It makes no sense. Edited January 23, 2012 by jeffbaltimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingpoor Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The original lender was paid. You have to have something in writing stating the original lender was paid, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torden Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes, I have the promissory note from the consolidation.What? How is that a receipt that the original lender was paid by the consolidation lender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbaltimore Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Because the promissory note lists all the loans that were consolidated. Or should I have an original document from the original creditor that states that all loans were paid through consolidation? If that is the case, no I do not have that sort of document.

If that is the case, no I do not have that sort of document.You need to get a copy of the receipts for "payment to lenders" that the load consolidation company got from the lenders. Their word doesn't hold any water.Most of these consolidation companies really end up ripping people off by not actually paying the lenders. It sounds like maybe you are a victim of this scam.
