A couple weeks ago, my sister (who I have no contact with for the past 2 years) emailed me.
She said CC&A contacted her re a "pending legal matter" and left their info just in case she heard from me.
I called the number (I was scared about being sued)!
I gave them my address (they had two, I confirmed the correct address).
I got a letter in the mail-
Dear
Sister Outsider,
Re Chevron account
Please accept our settlement offer.
No mini-miranda, the debt was charged off 5/2009 (the SOL is 4 years) and these scum aren't licensed to collect in my state.
I would like to sue. Pretty much because I'm tired of being pushed around and want to get these guys.
So, this is what I think I have:
Collecting a debt that's outside of SOL
Collecting with no license in my state
Contacting a 3rd party (I'm so embarassed- isn't that defamation??)
Threatening to take an action they are not legally allowed to take (Pending legal matter??)
I don't have any proof except the letters, my credit reports saying that the debt was CO in 5/09 and a printed email from my sister.
They have not placed this on my CR, and I sent them a letter asking them to prove, etc, so I don't think they will report.
But I'm angry and I'd like to get them for violations.
Any suggestions?? What evidence do I need and what laws could I get them on??
