I recently settled w/a credit card collector (law firm) on a credit card that I supposedly owed over 8000.00 I settled w/them for $5000.00 and they accepted and sent me a letter indicating that they would remove from their books and would not collect any longer.
This was in Oct 2006 and in Dec I start rec a calls from another law firm trying to collect on same debt I told them I had already settled and faxed them the letters confirming this. Thought all was taken care of and then Jan 2008 I was served a suit for the remanning balance of this debt. Can this be done after the other law firm agreed to the settlement and closed their books on it.
