Complaint Review: Ken Hughes - Merchants' Credit Guide - Steinbach

Back in March of this year, I received a call from an unidentified collection agency stating that they represent a company that bought a previous debt that I had with Steinbach's department store. I tried to explain to them that this debt was discharged in federal bankruptcy court, southern district, in April 1993.

They would not listen, and became very nasty, so I hung up the phone. A few weeks later, I received a letter dated 4/4/06 that Merchants' Credit Guide Co. represented CFB Financial III LLC, who had allegedly bought this debt from Steinbach, in the amount of $138.68. Their file number is 15-058236405, and the account number is 2222751025481520.

In fact, in this letter they are trying to m,ake a settlement with me. As a footnote, the address I provided for Ken Hughes is one of 2 listed on the letter. It also lists the exeutive offices of Merchants' Credit Guide Co. As 223 W. Jackson Blvd, Chicago, Il.60606.
