Wow! Not cool! It must be a lot of money for them to go after you like that?
This kind of makes we worried because I also have a bunch of credit card debt that was picked up by collections. I let my credit rating tank from like the 700s to the 400s.
These guys buy debt at auction for like 3% of the total. Sometimes I feel like I should call them up and lowball them so I can start to rebuild my credit. Either that or I have to wait 7 years or whatever for the statute of limitations to kick in.
