CAMCO How is this legal? Ripoff Schaumburg Illinois
A "Trevor Davis" from Camco called my disabled mother about a car loan we had gotten from Jayhawk Acceptance Corporation. He told her that his company (CAMCO) had acquired the debt from Jayhawk. We did have a loan from Jayhawk, a long time ago. Jayhawk seemed to think we owed them more money on it, but was never able to provide us with even a consistent total or any documentation whatsoever on the debt. Our records indicated we were paid in full, and we told them we would not send them a cent until they provided us with some sort of paperwork. They never did, so the issue was dropped. This was 1997 or so.
'Trevor' told us it was around $1800.00, but he would 'settle' for $500.00. He asked my mother for her checking account number, so he could go ahead a draft a check right then and there. I am fairly certain Mom said something along the lines of 'I don't think so' and he became belligerent with her. He told her he could get the information on her checking account 'if he really wanted to.' He suggested we could put the debt on a credit card, and indicated that he knew 'all about' her daughter's (that would be me) credit cards. Mom asked him for some documentation on the debt and all he faxed us was the "settelement deal" he was offering us, not the original debt information.
He called her several times a day, was incredibly rude and threatening on the phone. He finally got ahold of me at 8:30 pm one evening. I told him that 'I do not conduct business at that hour of the day', and I would call him the next day at a reasonable hour. I did not, as I work very hard, and did not have a chance, and we have not heard from him since.
After reading all these reports on this company...I plan to tell 'Trevor,' if he ever calls again, that I have spoken with my lawyer, and plan to pursue legal action, if the calls don't "cease and desist."

by phone is useless. Send it in letter form, certified mail, return receipt requested. And unless you have been appointed your mother's legal guardian she must be the one to sign the letter. It will mean nothing coming from you. Also file complaints with the Illinois AG, your state's AG (if different), the FTC and the BBB. The last two you can do online. The other two you must do in writing but you can print off the forms from their websites. Use the link below for what you need to say in your letter to Trevor at CAMCO. And don't be afraid to add a few things to this, such as his threat to locate her account and take the money from it constitutes extortion. Let him know you are considering filing criminal charges against him. Is your mother elderly, by any chance? If so, there are some other people you may be able to involve or other charges to threaten them with. http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/Disputing_Collections/stop-calling-letter.html I must stress the importance of filing with the IL AG....from what we've been told on here, something big is about to go on for CAMCO and these organizations will need all the information that they can get.
