Hello all! I have a collection account that was bought by a bottom freeding CA (MKM Acq.) They are reporting it on my TU report as new collection. The original account was charged off in 95 and has dissapeared from my reports. Here is how the account is listed. Can someone tell me what the DLA is. Updated 8/2002 Place 4/2002 Closed: Blank On the bottom Status as of <08/2002 Collection Account.> Also can they do this? I dont think they can..they are reaging the debt. Also their "Lawyer" sent me a letter saying they would report my account as Paid in Full with a zero balance (which they have to do anyway) Pls help.. Thanks!
Send the ca a letter that they are in violation of the FCRA for re-reporting a debt that is past the 7 year reporting date. Advise them that they have 5 days to remove it or you will file suit. If they fail to comply, sue them. You may also want to do a search for David Szwak. He is a lawyer that posted here about a week ago and is handling a class action case against thugs like this for that very reason. Also, you may try calling the cra's and tell them what these shmucks did and ask them to immediately delete it.
