Avco Financial Institute I paid a bill infull 5 years ago and they are still trying to get me to pay it again Altamonte Springs Florida
I was instructed by a loan officer to pay a certain amount. He intructed me to cut a check and on the back of the check I was to put the words "Cashing at bank Constitutes account paid in full." I did all that was told to me to do. I sent the check and it was cashed. After a year had passed I received a letter from a credit insitute to retrieve the money that I owed.
I called the institute and was instructed to fax a copy of the check to a Dee Smith reference #923340 and she would take care of this matter. It was never taken care of because I keep getting bills from collection agencies. I don't understand why they are still trying to get the money that I had already paid 5 years ago. If you could solve this problem I would be very grateful. Thank You.

I've had this happen a couple times, too. You're positive you paid it years ago, but don't have any paperwork or anything that would prove you paid it. Write a letter to this company, saying "I hereby dispute these charges", and tell your side of the story in detail, including that you sent in a check. If they cannot PROVE that you still owe the money, then they have to stop calling you and remove you from their service. I had companies call me about phone and electric bills that were paid 5 years ago, the phone and electric companies had no record of me owing any money, and one of these letters to each of the two collection agencies that were calling me stopped it cold. Also, after you do this, check your credit report in a few months to make sure it's gone. Good luck!
