GW to HSBC or Capital One?

I recently did a PFD with the CA on an old HSBC charge-off.  I'm planning to do a GW to the OC now, but am unsure who to send the letter to since the sale/merger.  One of my credit reports is reporting the account as Capital One, and the other two as HSBC.  Which company should I address the GW to?

You most likely would have to address both of them. 

 

If the debt was bought by a CA before the CAP ONE buy out I am confused as to why they are even reporting anything, I wouldn't think they would be purchasing the charge off balance from HSBC, but who knows.

 

 

Good Luck
May all your dreams and wishes become a reality!
