Capital One Bank Collection Letter

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:54:13 GMT

I had an old Cap One Bank account in collections for $953 which was deleted from all credit reports in May, 2006.

I just received a letter from CA(Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC) for payment on this account for $1288.37.

I checked an old credit report for the DOFD and it shows "30 days as of 11-1999". Does this mean that the 7 year mark for deletion would be 11-2007?

How should I proceed? Should I ask for all backup on this account and wait until I receive it for a PFD letter? I don't want it to appear on my credit reports now so am looking for guidance as to what I should do.

Sounds like it is past DOFD +7 years.

If it is also outside of your states SOL I would send a FOAD letter.

Mr. Scumbag :

I received a letter from your office on xx/xx/07 over an alleged debt from 1999 with xxx. I have no knowlege about a past due amount owed to Verizon.

Under XX State Code the subject account has a X year limit for filing any legal action or collection.

The starting date of this statute of limitations being either, the date of the last mutual activity, or the date of first default with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR of the subject account. The ORIGINAL CREDITOR being XXXX, which you stated in your dunning letter to me dated 07/xx/07.

This notification is formal notice to you that any filing of such action by you, or your representatives or assigns, is therefore time-barred.

What you are attempting to do is clear, and continued collection activities, including reporting, verification or insertion of accounts, beyond their legal collection date, to any consumer credit reporting agency, may be considered extortion and/or fraud and subject to criminal as well as civil prosecution.

Please note that proof of your receipt of this notice may be used by me or my legal representative in further action.

Since this alleged debt is clearly past the legal time frame for continued collection activity, you will cease any further contact with me.

You are not to sell, transfer, assign, or share any information about me or this alleged debt with anyone else.

Signed-

It was due to be removed 11/2006. It's all over with now. They are just grasping for straws now. They think they can scare you into thinking it can be reported again. But leagally it can't.

If they call back, just do sort of what Timothy said-with the excepting of doing it verbally over the phone f off or eat **bleep** an die, then hang up the phone.

Capital One Bank Collection Letter (Portfolio Recovery Associates)

I am now at my wit's end after opening my mail last night.

I'm resurrecting this msg because I just received a letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates about my old Cap One CO for $1288.41

Herein lies the problem.

I've been working so hard to delete the baddies and my FICO scores are improving. I need to buy a condo by April 2008 and I cannot afford for a CA to hit my CR's.

I sent a FOAD letter to them on July 9th 2007. I didn't send it CMRRR but now I know better.

I went through my old CR's this am and following are the results from previous reporting:
