It appears CAMCO has sold its accounts to Thorne, Brooks & Shapiro. They have a "legitimate" looking website posting exactly how they start out in collection attempts by a first communication meant to cause immediate panic in people. This communication attempts to collect debts more than 10 years old, written off and charged off. Their letter threatens to garnish wages, ruin credit, put liens on properties and "attach bank accounts" if receiver does not respond within 2 days from the date letter is received. I contacted an attorney and this is ILLEGAL since debts are out of statute of limitations. Also filed report with FTC.

You should also send the information you have to the Florida Attorney General's office and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office. For good measure you might want to cc everything to your local District Attorney's office.
