CAMCO Capital Acquisitions & Management Co. said I owed a $1,266.01 debt from 14 years ago, then told me they could make it go away for 500.00. Rip-off! Rockford Illinois

A man named Rick Jacobs called and left several messages in the last month and said that he had purchased a debt I owed from 1990,(from Marine Midland Bank,). That was a very difficult time in my life and I almost fell for the bullying tactics that he used. (Calling me on the last day of the month at 4pm.) Told me I had one chance to reduce this debt from $1,266.01 to $500.00. I asked for all this information in writing and was told that I would recieve it in the mail after I agreed to payment over the phone.

I had just re-established my credit in the last 5 years and am a single parent. Fortunatly I told my boyfriend and I was encouraged to stop payment on the checks and investigate this further. I also tried to reach this Mr. Jacobs and tell him he could expect a call from my attorney in the next few days. I doubt I'll be hearing from him very soon.

Thank you so much for your website. I fully intend to take this matter to the authorities and find out exactly who this company is and help to put them out of business.
