he has a one credit card - balance is $721.76, opened since 2003 - he paid them $125 through western union last week..CL is $500, APR is $28.15, we are trying to keep the card open by paying them bi-weekly of $125 so it wont get over the credit limit..- what should we do to keep his balance under the credit limit? i asked if we pay on time for 6 months, (its a CAP ONE Platinum), we can call back to request for increase credit limit and interest rate lowered..they told me to call back in 6 months
collections
during his stay in Indiana, he went to hospital thinking his insurance covered the bill but he didnt know that the bill was on his CR. with me helping him, i called NCO and requested for the original creditor's address and phone number, but they dont have it on their file. what should i do? i DV'ed them on July 10,2007 - i checked the tracking number on usps.com and it was delivered..still waiting to hear from them
and for his jcpenney account, i called the collection agency on juky 2nd - i couldnt believe the first thing that came out of the lady's mouth, was " you have the balance owing 588, how do you want to get this paid - credit card or a check?" i told her i cant get everything done right away til i get this settlement in writing so i requested their address..she asked me why..i didnt say so but told her to email me the settlement agreement
here's the email message she sent me on July 2nd
ATT: consumer's name
Please refer to the conversation with CHRISTINA
