Credit card debt question
Yesterday I was called by FCS, the man on the phone was nice and I want to clear up this old debt(approx.15 year old cc debt). It has not been on my credit report for over 5 years and I to my understanding it has been turned over to this new company. I problem is that I agreed on an amount and intend to send payment (org. apprx $6,000. Down to $1,500). Then the man says go get my check book and wants me to pay by check over the phone!? I am not sure about this procedure and would have no documentation until after the check clears they said "they would send letter saying paid."
My problem also is that the guy lied and said he was a paralegal for the lawyer he worked for, when I was transferred to another person for final payment arrangements, I questioned her about this man and check out his story... a lie. If he is lying about this then what about the other things he told me about it being paid off? When I asked for the org. account # I was not given enough #s? I did talk them into letting me send it but I don't think all is kosher?! HE said I would be receiving a summons if I did not pay that day... HELP
