How do you prevent a collection company from imposing reporting and collection fees?
Q. I made a payment to a collection company for a debt a few days ago. I looked at the balance due now and it shows the same amount that was due before I made the payment. I found out that the company is charging a collection fee and a reporting fee that has to be paid off before the actual debt can be paid off. On top of it all I am being charged a payment processing fee. I think I just should have let the seven years roll by and let the debt fall off.

A. The way to do this is to negotiate a settlement amount BEFORE you pay... Get all terms of any settlement deal you reach with debt collectors in writing before you give them your money. This letter should state the settlement amount and that the account will be paid in full upon receipt of this amount from you. Keep the letter in a safe place. Never accept settlement deals over the phone that are not backed up in written terms. If you don t, the debt collectors will deny that any settlement was ever made once they get your settlement money and will come back demanding more money from you...or they will resell your account to another collection agency months/years later that will start the collection process all over again and you ll… [cont.]

How long can a collection agency attempt to collect on a debt more than 10 years old?
Q. This past summer, a collection agency contacted me in regards to an account with a department store that was paid off in 1993. They told me I still owe on it. I no longer live in the state where the debt was initiated, so which state's statute of limitations do I use, the state where the debt originated or where I currently live? Telling the agent who calls me that I don't owe it doesn't work. They tell me that their client still wants their money. Could this be a scam?

A. This debt is WAY outside the statute of limitations for all 50 states...it is also past the allowable 7-year reporting cycle on credit reports...so they can't place this on your credit file . This is ancient, time barred debt...because of this, the collection agency is powerless over you...other than trying to scare/annoy you into paying. Technically, a debt collector can come after you forever...however, once the statute of limitations is up...they've lost the power to successfully win in court if they sued on the debt. Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act you can send them a "cease communications" letter and that will be all that you need to do. Per this law they must cease collection activity. Send the collection agency a… [cont.]
