I received a call this morning from Credit Systems International asking me to please call back, The recording had my name. When I called back and asked what type of call this was the lady stated the she would need my phone number prior to telling me what they do. Of course I refused to give it to her because I didnt want to validate the information that they have.
I decided to google their name and came up with the above mentioned CA. I don't owe anything (that I am aware of) and I always pay my bills on time. A long time ago (about six years ago) I did have a small utility bill placed on my credit report that I disputed because when I moved out they never informed me of it and it was taken off my report immediately. I am scared however that if I don't call and speak to someone they will put something on my credit report and then it will be a lot harder to get it off. Any advice on what I should do? Should I talk to them and see if its a misunderstanding or should I just ignore it? So far it has only been one call.
Well after researching this for a little bit I came up with my answer. They are infact a collection agency for the that small utility bill that I had years ago, I guess they know that their time is running out so they are going to see if they can collect on it. I am just going to let it be for the time being.
Not a good idea.
How much do you think its for?
Possible DOFD?
Out os SOL? or Can you PIF?

I believe it was around Nov 2003, I think it was for less than $200.00. Based on what I've learned here there is no way I would pay this at this point and reset the date.

Hi there,
Where are you located? Credit Systems International is based out of Dallas. A couple years ago TXU energy sent a small balance that I owed to them. But lucky for me, I immediately paid the thing off directly to TXU and they did not report. And keep in mind, CSI did not do the reporting, it was TXU. Perhaps try calling the utility company to see what the charges are for?

It's Green Mountain Energy. (I wouldnt recommend them) They were on my report back in 2005. I disputed it and it was taken off. Now out of the blue I get this call this morning. Unless I get anything in writting or any more calls I am just going to ride it out and see what happens.
