Express, Limited, Vict's Secret... who is the CA?

[Anonymous]

I have these three accounts in collection. My credit report only lists that they are in CO, not who the CA are. Does anyone happen to know who buys their charged-off debts? They are all part of WFNNB, World Financial Network National Bank...

Am I posting this in the right forum? If not, please let me know, and I'll move it.

Thanks.

Hi abc1121,

I'm moving your post to the Rebuilding Your Credit forum.  The regular posters over there are well-versed in handling CA problems.

Hi abc...Although my vic sec is paid up, it's showing some ugly black marks.  When I get home today I'm going to try & find out who it is I need to contact.  vs? or wfnnb???  After I make some calls, I'll post here. 

When were yours co'd?  Have you rec'd any letters from ca's?  When it comes to paying them up, you might be better off just paying the oc (creditor...not collector)  Approach them before they send it to another level.  They'd much rather get the full $ from you than sell as partial to a ca.

Edit:  Ok, did a google search & found this from "hoovers".

Going to the big-dog...

Thanks Mo! Please let me know what you find.

These are just CC's I stopped paying on YEARS ago (DOLA 2003), and now want to pay. I sent PFD letters to all three separate as OC's, since I didn't know the CA, but that was just last week, so I'm waiting to hear something. Hopefully soon.

thanks!
