Sent a validation ltr to Sherman, and what do I get in rtn..... a ltr from Alegis Grp stating they purchased the acct from Sherman. They are in the process of investigating my validation ltr. I got Sherman's address off my recent CR. This is surely not a ltr of validation, and the SOL for the state on this expired years ago. They responded before the 30 days, so at the end of the 30 days I will request deletion, and look into FCRA violations on Alegis for contacting me without the validation that was requested. This is a third party collection attempt. Both Sherman and Alegis are CA's. Their ltr lists the O C, Current Creditor,( being Sherman) the acct #, and a $xxxxx balance. This to me is clearly what it states at the bottom of the ltr,....... ....... this is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. I read somewhere that class action suits have been filed against Sherman, so maybe they have contracted with Alegis to collect on their behalf but unknowingly to the consumer. All feedback is welcomed.
Nkneed, Read my posts from last week about Sherman and Alegis: http://consumers.creditnet.com/Discussions/showthread.php?s=&postid=438442#post438442 We are experiencing somewhat similar situations, except Sherman has not reported on my credit reports, and hopefully they will not as the account is now 2 years past SOL.
