CAMCO Capital Acquisitions And Management Company ripoff Rockford Illinois

Use some form of receipt generating mailing system, which leaves you with PROOF that the letter was sent. What they did was possibly ILLEGAL according to the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act which is Federal Law, and immune to all AND any State laws.

Let me specify the potential violations in your specific case:

1-They harassed YOU for the payment of your Mother's debt, and tried to get your credit card number. It's illegal. They are allowed to talk to you ONE time to determine your Mother's location, but they are not ALLOWED to hold you accountable for her bill.

2-The harrasment in general is illegal.

3-They have to acknowledge the Statute of Limitations, which is 4 years in your State of California. Something from 1985 is duh--well past that SoL.

4-Repeated calls are also illegal, even if they were not hostile.

Keep a record of those names and the details of what was discussed. Your Report is clear, articulate, and thorough hold on to it, and mark down the specific dates of those calls for your records.

In addition, I have to tell you this for peace of mind. The Cease and Desist letter coming from you MIGHT not be valid, if you do not have "Power of Attorney" over your Mothers financing. Make sure your Mother signs that letter, of lucid sound mind, and well aware of the documentation. If they are weasels, you never know what stunt they might pull.

You also might consider accessing www.ftc.gov to fill our their online Complaint form. There is a direct link at the site, which will lead you to that form.

If you want to put some time into further research here at the Rip-off Report, Scott from Akron, Ohio has a lot of good information. There really are thousands being victimized by this corporation.

I wish we could form a group to tackle this oppression.

Hope it works out.
