A long disputed bill from AT&T wireless ended up in the hands of Superior Asset Managment and as a result an offer was made me to settle the amont for 50% of the total amount. I called them and as the 50% was more in line with what I felt was a nominal figure for settlement I decided to pay them.
Upon the call I portrayed my willingness to pay them on that call but asked that a Letter of Satisfaction be granted me upon doing so. The SAM agent was friendly however told me that SAM does not under any circumstance write or grant letters of satisfaction for payments received on debt. Furthermore he told me that they no longer release from credit reports the debt that is paid under a less than 100% settlement offer !!!
This I explained was derrogatory to good business and in fact was blatantly fraud on behalf of SAM and found it hard to believe that this could be fact. He said that he very much agreed with me but it was his 3rd day and he did not intend on returning to work on Monday. I asked him to note on my account that a cease and desist order against SAm would follow.
NOTE: Remember folks... the CRB's Equifax, Experian, Transunion...don't verify information reported to them by paying reporting agencies like Superior Asset Managment. Those collection agencies like Superior Asset Managment (SAM) actually work for YOU the consumer and NOT for the Entities that they buy debt from for pennies on the dollar.
You the consumer have the right to terminate the collection agencies at anytime you see fit when you feel that they are not portraying actions that are condusive to your benefit. Hence 99.9% of all collection efforts !!! You must fire them via registered mail to be safe and save original copies for your own protection.
File a consumer statement with all 3 CRB's and keep your guard up against all collection agencies, they sell debt and reassign account numbers to them so that you may actually end up paying 3 or 4 times for the same debt. Fat chance you will ever get one to pay you back !! Best of Luck to all consumers.
