carolene, normally, banks dont turn accts ovet to CA unless the payments are NOT being made. Have you bothered to call the bank and inquire as to why this is happening?
Because they don't. It is a lot of agency's policies.
no they cannot
If the debt was properly assigned by the original creditor, yes. If you are making payments to the Original creditor than ask them to pull it back from there Collection agency, then dispute with the CRA's and when they update it should delete
Unless you have a specific repayment plan that the collection agency agreed to, there is no legal reason that cannot sue the cosigner.
Yes.
Only if you stopped making payments and are behind on your on your payments.
i think so:D
if collection agency is not from your lender, but third party, then you need to fax them proof of your payments to your lender or financial insitution and have them send you a letter stating that they will not report you to credit bureau. and also have them contact the collection agency you are making payments. asian623 http://www.myspace.com/scionturboracing
Personally speaking, it is better to settle with a collection agency rather than making monthly payments. Theres only one ceveat....you must pay the collection agency in full. Example, lets say you owe $1000 to a credit card company. A collection agency will say, pay $600 NOW and this will settle the balance. So, if you dont have $600, its a 'catch-22'. You are better off making the monthly payments until the $1000 is paid.
Same thing happened to me..... what does this mean? I have not heard anything back from original creditor and was making timely montly payments to collection agency... I am confused and a little scared
No, they'd repossess your car.
Yes, if the payments being rendered are not in accordance with the financial agreement. It is, however, unlikely that they would take such action as it would not be in anyone's best interest.
