Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I received a letter stating I owed $2,000 + dollars for an account that I never opened 14 years ago. Letter said they would settle for $500 + dollars.

Out of extreme concern for my credit I called & spoke w/Morgan Espy. She was rude. I told her I never had a Montgomery Ward acct. & this was not my bill. She said Montgomery Ward represented multiple companies.

I asked for more details but she said their system was down & took my name & number. I asked her if I should contact an attorney.

First of all, I would like to state that it is unethical and unprofessional to use "swear" words -- even if they are not completely spelled out. So that's a "red flag" right there, indicating the immorality and lack of integrity or credibility of your response. It TOTALLY NEGATES anything you wrote afterwards! Secondly, sure, people have done stupid, irresponsible things in the past -- and maybe they should have been more responsible, but the fact of the matter remains that there are LAWS and STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS re: debt collection and your company is violating these standards! You CANNOT collect on these VERY OLD DEBTS -- which most are -- if not COMPLETELY FABRICATED!!! So don't try to intimidate people, "guilt trip" them, coerce, manipulate, deceive and threaten with YOUR BULL! You and your company are not fooling ANYONE (at least not anyone on THIS website!), so get a soul and find a more legitimate line of business! YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!!! Sincerely, A potential victim of FRAUD -- but who took the time to investigate further, uncover the deception, stand up for oneself and expose your bogus crap to all who visit this site!

Here is a letter one of your victims sent me. I deleted the personal information but it had the debt amount on it so you are lying like the scum you are. It also mentioned that if they paid it would not go on their credit report. This is a violation of the FDCPA. Would you like to know who has it now? AN ATTORNEY. You are currently being sued by the recipient of this letter. The only person receiving the $1000 will be your victim. The large CAMCO at the top of the letter could not be pasted but you get the idea. ---------------------- P.O. BOX 5087 ROCKFORD, IL. 61101 866-745-5420 Fax 847-303-5147 1/10/03 Name deleted RE: Camco# Deleted Balance $ Deleted Settlement $ 1,000.00 Dear MR. Deleted In reference to our conversation today regarding your Deleted, Camco proposes the following settlement: Upon receiving your post dated check by 1/10/03 totaling $ 1000 as follow: 1,000.00 dated for 01/31/03 and this payment clear as paid, your account will be settled in full and satisfied. Furthermore CAMCO will not place any derogatory remarks on your credit file. If for any reason this settlement is not met, this offer becomes NULL and VOID and the full balance of Deleted will become due. Please feel free to contact me at 866-745-5420 ext.4017 if you should have any further questions. Sincerely, Tracy Smith Collection Manager This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

Nobody here cares what a criminal like yourself thinks. I have over 100 emails from people who have never even heard of the debt. you are trying to collect 20k from someone for a debt that puts her at 16 years old. How many people that age get a 20k debt. Too bad for you she is a consumer protection attorney and is preparing a rather large lawsuit against your company. You are being sued right and left. You have hundreds of BBB and illinois attorney general complaints. you lost your BBB Care because of abuse. I guess everyone is just making this up right? Poor baby. You are such a coward you hide behind a pseudonym. Be a man and put your real name here. You cannot because you will be sued. We have a big big surprise coming for one of your employees. When he is led off in handcuffs please take his picture and post it here. Priceless.

the letters at camco do not tell you how old your debts are. this specific report is a load of sh*t. this person knows how long ago they ripped off montgomery wards who just happens to be out of business because of scum of the earth losers who think they can just borrow money and keep moving around for years until the statute of limitations is up. The fact of the matter is you are not released from oweing money that you defrauded out of any company. you created a debt, and why cant you pay it back. statute of limitations says that you will not be sued you will not be garnished, but no where does it say that your money automatically gets paid back people are theives, and this particular man or woman knows they created this bill. montgomery wards gave them clothing furniture accessories and services that are not paid for. and people are teaching their kids to put our country in debt even further, lead by example. paga la billa
