These guys have been calling me for a month, out of the blue demanding payment for a Bell South account. I did have one on my credit report years ago and paid it off, and still have the letter to prove it. It was held by an entirely different agency at that time, and I can't imagine why BEll South would be forwarding it to them for collections again.

I didn't ask any details because I thought I knew what account they were referring to and I said that it was paid off. They asked me to produce a cashed check from way back, or pay them within 45 days. I take my credit very seriously. I have no way of knowing if they are legit, but there are a lot of accusations on the web, that's for sure. I will mail them a copy of the letter, it has no personal info on it.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

It Is a Legit Collection Agency

AUTHOR: Prlegal08 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 11, 2008

I have worked there back in 2005 and i remember dealing with people like you, BellSouth simply sold the account to CBCS and they no longer have record of you, It is best to speak to the representatives and verify the SS#( not the whole thing, just the last 4) a lot of times what happens is that the social security # dont even match, but they have your name and adress and phone number ( They do skiptracing). Simply ask for the address so you can send them proof that this account has been paid off under your name and attach a Seize and Decist letter along with it, and you will be left alone!!

Good Luck
