Complaint Review: CAMCO

They tried to contact me via phone last week...I received a letter today notifying me about an ancient debt with Citibank that they've acquired from Fourscore Resource Capital.

I spoke to a Drew Mallory and was turned over to his "supervisor" Kevin Owens who was compassionate and professional but became too pushy when he insisted that I give him my check routing number. He was going to give me a break reducing the original debt of $2219.21 to $1251.80 but we had to do it today.

I did not understand how he could write themselves a postdated check from my bank...I questioned how he knew where I banked he said they have a little bio on my finances, he also knew my SSN which scares me. I told him I was not comfortable giving the numbers to him besides I thought I'd put it on a credit card.

I thought the debt which was accrued by my ex was settled a long time ago and with the statute of limitations was no longer a threat to my current good credit standing.(Debt was from 1989)

Thank God I told him I'd call him back since I have to consult with my current partner and immediately went online and saw all the other victims of this fraudulent company.

How can they be stopped? I don't want these pests to be bothering me again!
