Hello, I had a CO of $780 that went to collections in 2001. I was working for a while with TRI-ADVANTAGE CA to pay this balance down. I'd gotten it down to around $450 and then I became unemployed and stopped communication with them. On my current CR the OC still lists the original balance as $772 and CURRENT as of July 04. There is no TL for Tri-Advantage on my report and I do not have my last correspondence from them. I contacted the OC and their collections department gave me a payoff amount of $787 (.35 per day on the orginal balance, interest calculated thru 8/31/04). They are sending a letter in the mail. My question is - WHO had I been paying all of that money to? Can I call this TRI-ADVANTAGE CA to get a summary of activity or something from them, or I am I shafted starting from square one again with the OC?
