CAMCO (SCUMCO) pulled CR illegaly!!?
What is the name of your state? CA
Hi,
My story is the same or similar to most others, 23yr old credit card debt (actually reported stolen in 1980). CAMCO calls 3 times in one day, rude to my wife because I am not home, then finally when they get me they want to settle for $700 or so on an alleged $2200 debt. Dude has my ssn, address, etc. Told them it was BS and to send me written proof, we go back and forth..so the bill comes, biggest bogus, mixed with legalese and moronese.
I did a research on the net, first the badbusinessbureau and then found this site today. Also searched BBB in Chicago. Interesting reading.
Problem: These scums ran an actual credit report with permissible purpose on TransUnion which remains on file for 2 years. I talked to Transunion and they said as far as they are concerned it's a legit inquiry ( like I applied for a card or a loan, or owe a legit debt!! ) Only way to get it off is by CAMCO. Best of luck to me!
Sent them (CAMCO) a C&D certified, rr, etc, also demanded that they remove the inquiry. Can they? Even if they can I doubt they would. I filed the FTC complaint, wrote to DA in my county, will file with the CA AG's office, and looking for blood! I also filed a fraud report with local PD.
From what I understand so far: they are not doing anything illegal by trying to collect on a non-performing, old debt as long as they don't threaten with legal consequences, lawsuit or neg. post on credit report. What I think is illegal that they pull the credit report and then use the information obtained from that report to make you believe the debt is legit and you are in big trouble.
Looking to join a class action lawsuit. I also want to get them for accessing my credit file under pretense. I am also contacting any media source I can think of, hopefully someone will do a report on these bloodsuckers. If they do, they may save a lot of people a lot of grief. SCAMCO is expanding, they have about 300 employees and get some tax breaks from IL State as well as from the city of Rockford
Anyways, I've read a lot of posts but not all, so anyone wants it, their street address is 303 N Main Street, Rockford, IL 61101-1018. Press release: www.rockfordil.com/CAMCO.cfm
Makes me sick!
