Hello My Name is Deana,

Mercantile Adjustments Bureau contacted me 5 years ago trying to collect a debt. The debt was a credit card bill from Citi Bank. it was in the amt. of 13,600.00. I agreed to pay 200.00 per month and did so. I owe 500.00 more untill the debt is paid in full. The reason I could not pay Citicard off was my husband was out of work due to 9/11.   

MERCANTILLE is now saying I owe them another $26,568.10. When I called they was this amount was all interest.  Please help! Can they really do this?

Thank you Deana Howell New Jersey
