First of all check the statute of limiation in your state. If the debt is outside of it, you have an affirmative defense in court if they decide to sue. They can collect interest and fees that you agreed to pay when you used the card. Check your last billing statement for the interest rate. If they get a judgment they can seize your assets, or garnish your wages in some states. You are propably dealing with a Junk Debt buyer who bought your debt for pennies on the dollar. If the debt is still within the statute of limitation, your best bet is to try to settle with them. They may accept a fraction of the original amount. |

FIRST WHY PAY IT NOW?
SECOND--BLOW THE LAWYER OFF..HOW CAN THEY COLLECT,,,
THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY..........AND PROB AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO COLLECT. MOST CREDIT CARDS DEBT CANNOT BE COLLECTED UNLESS YOU PAY. |

yes they can add interest. if they do get a jusgement against you they will garnish your wages. |
|
?

most likely, they will ask for signature prior to service and they are crafty at protecting their investment of time,its a bad idea to not pay a lawyer or pay late and never,ever write one a bad check as in most states if its over 500 dollars its a felony
if you did not get a bankruptcy ruling for protection they can get most of what you owe plus fees acceptable under law. its up to the creditor to prove this money is owed if they are able to do so only under bankruptcy law is it poss able to get out of and even under bankruptcy it may not be dis missed its up to a mediator and/or trustee. |

Most accounts like this have a statement that you will pay interest until paid in full.
But if the account was truly written off, then the question is HOW DID THIS COLLECTOR GET YOU ACCOUNT INFO? Unless, the company did not write off your account.
Do you have any paperwork - from 4 years ago - which states the account was written off? If you do, send a copy to the Collector and to the Company saying - Why are you digging this up? Wasn't it written off? |

The can collect the full amount of the debt, they put a judgement against your name and it appears on your credit stoppign you from purchasing a car, house, credit cards, And they can charge reasonable collection fees and interest in most states.
(I just looked up taking someone to small claims court ..t.his is basically what I found.....
Sell the stero, bigscreen and the goofy stuff you have that you can live with out, step up and pay the bill)
***THOSE OF US WHO PAY THE CREDIT CARDS ON TIME WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO BLOW OFF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. WE NOW PAY HIGHER RATES TO FINANCE YOU.

His bill is paid by the debtee. He shouldnt be able I would give only the amount that you owed. If they cash it, its all over. Be sure to right on the check that it is pament in full to whoever you owe it to. Make it payble to the person you owe it to. I would even go to the place you owe and pay or send in the mail stating on the money order this is paid in full. |

Yes, they can charge interest. With a judgment, they could conceivably file a lien in your home county for whatever property you own. Obviously, if you don't own property, this doesn't mean much to you.
Most of these collectors will settle for less than the principle amount, though...if you have some money, you may want to make them an offer. |

First, a debt collector is not necessarily a lawyer, yet may be working for one. Second, what do you mean by "written off"? Third, what do you own? Fourth, you may be "judgment-proof" - too poor to squeeze money from, but you may not always want to be that way. Your bad debt can ruin your credit rating. You see, there are no real secrets in life, no magic formulas. There are choices, and there are consequences. And to answer your first question last - it's not the lawyer doing it, but the 99 to 1 answer is "yes". Good luck. |

If the compnay wrote it off 4 years ago then the collector can do nothing. If you wrote it off but the company did not then the collector can collect the amount of the debt only. Interest can be included as part of the debt up to the time that the collector took over. No aditional interest can be added from that point forward. |

The can collect interest up to the maximum amount allowed by law in your state. |
