Collectors calling saying they don’t deal with debt payment plan companies?
I posted a question regarding collections calling about a debt that had been charged off from Chase. The company calling is Client Services Inc. States that they didn’t buy the debt from Chase they’re collecting for them period.
I researched debt consolidation companies, and called friends who have dealt with this, and CareOne Credit Counsel was ultimately choosen. They were very kind and professional. At the end of the counsel session, going over our budget etc…we set everything up, and they gave me a number for collections to call if they called again.
Ofcourse they called, I told the collector what we had done and that CareOne would be paying the original creditor. That we wanted to pay this off and this was the only way we could. They stated they wouldn’t work with them, no way, and we had to pay this off now, or face legal action.
They say they work for Chase, they have the charge off turned over to them. Not bought but turned over. I don’t know who to believe here. The careone credit solutions who states they do this all the time and gave me proof, or the collections people who say, they gave me a settlement, but never gave me anything in writing and even now don’t want to since I said we don’t have the money right now.
What do I do here??? This is our only ding on our credit. We are military and on a SLIM budget. I just wonder if someone out there has dealt with a situation like this? What to do, who to believe???
