Camco rip-off! They say I owe a phone bill but thephone company shows nothing on me since 1996. Rockford Illinois

They have no clue what the bill is for, when the bill was from, or who the bill was for. They just make crap up. Threatening to file a lawsuit against you is illegal. Had you taped that conversation you would be enjoying a free vacation on them. As it is, even had the debt been real it would have been well past the statute of limitations. Send them a letter certified mail telling them to to never contact you again. It is VERY important that you file complaints with the FTC, the illinois attorney general, and the texas attorney general about the threat of lawsuit and all the lies. If you need more help scroll down a few pages and find my post.

M,

like yourself, i've yet to receive any written info about my supposed debt. and when i ask for documentation, ikea charles tells me that they have sent me "a number of letters."

yes, when someone calls to inform you - that you owe them $1000's - who wouldn't want their debt details & something more informative than, "well, because you do..."

M, i'm sure reading thru these reports you will find some helpful tips for dealing with camco. such as filing complaints with the ftc & states attorney generals office. fyi, camco was recently fined by the ftc for their collection tactics, so the ftc may still be interested.

guess we're all members of the camco club.
