Debt Collector sent letter to start sending payments directly to Capital One

So I had a judgement a few years ago from an old capital one card, been paying on it since to a debt collector (Hosto and Buchan). The last few months I kept sending a request for a current balance owed on it, but didn't hear from them. Sent a more formal letter the third time with my payment. Well about a week or two ago I got a letter from them stating they were no longer managing my account and to send payments to Capital One (they included a PO box to send it to) and returned my payment I had mailed in for last month.  Seemed kind of odd. So this month's payment is due this week and I was getting ready to send in payment to C1, but thought I'd post here first to see if this throws any red flags up to anyone, or if there's something I should do before just start sending payments in to C1?Thanks!Jen

  • CAPITAL ONE DISPUTED LATE PAYMENT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

    HELP! I am in the processes of working on 3 late payments on my Capital One card. I called yesterday and very clearly stated to the rep that I was looking for a GW removal and NOT a dispute. He gave me the typical scripted speech that they would make an *internal* request and I said thank you, have a nice day. I entered an online chat today with a supervisor to ensure that my account was not disputed and come to find out, it is. Who do I contact now? Can I file a complaint? Who the HECK is running the show at Capital One? This is just crooked business!

    Thanks. The EO called me today to let me know they would be investigtaing the rep who created this mess. I'm livid. I am praying that dispute does not hit my report. They tell me it will take 7-10 business days to investigate. 

  • Current BT customer sent to debt collectors for un...

    Hi,
    Firstly I would like to point out, just so I don't have to repeat myself throughout later, that what I am about to describe can - at best - be described as appalling customer service. At worst it is probably tiptoeing around fraud.
    I moved house in January after having a BT phone line at a previous address for 18 months, paying by variable direct debit. However the house that I moved to did not have a phone line connected so the move was pretty painful - BT were not any help here - basically it seemed like the only way to get it done was to apply for a new phone line here. So due to BT's processes, I guess I ended up with two accounts, all for the same person though in my application for this house I gave them my previous house and phone details. 
    I left the phone line connected at the old house for a couple of months to help the landlord out, and when the new tenants transferred the phone to themselves I was phoned by BT to confirm that I was happy for that to happen. I said it was fine and the last few months had been paid by direct debit as per normal - so I believed that this was the end of it. I was not told at this time that BT were about to charge me for the remaining time on a contract that I never renewed.
    Now, 4 months later, I get a phonecall from a debt collection agency chasing money on the old account. I was surprised by this - since the account was paid by direct debit I didn't understand how anything could be outstanding. Its for termination charges, I was told. This surprised me because I had only ever taken out a 12 month contract - I would never had renewed it as I only had another 6 months left on the lease. It is doubly surprising since I am still a BT customer, and rather than telling me they sent it straight to a debt collection agency.
    I have notified the debt collection agency that I dispute the charges. However, it is going to take someone from BT to sort this out, so please do. You have already damaged your customer relationship possibly beyond repair by sending me to a debt collectors rather than sending me a bill (I guess it was too much work to check your own customer database first).
    Checking through the fine print of  your terms and conditions of one of the extras I had on the phone line, I see you have some ridiculous clauses in there to automatically renew a 12 month contract into another 12 month contract - I am surprised this is legal since effectively you are forcing people into a subsequent contract without their agreement. If that is legal it must be a huge benefit to the other unscrupulous companies out there!!! Anyway it also says that you notify the customers before you do so to give them the opportunity to opt out - I was never notified and indeed this was the first I heard about it. When I first signed up for my phone contract for 12 months there was no such clause and when someone upsold me (by phone) on the friends and family international plan they most definitely did not warn me that I was then forced to buy my phone rental from BT in 1 year blocks.
    What I would like is for these - in my view, illegal, but at the very least non-contractual - charges to be removed from my account. I would also like to know what you recommend I can do to protect myself from this kind of unscrupulous business practise in the future.
    I look forward to your response

    Hi Steve and welcome
    I too have had to discuss this with BT when I noticed that I was automatically signed up for another 12 months without any contract end date / contract renewal notification. They accepted that there had been a 'technical issue' and a note was placed on my file to say that I would not be held to terms of the contract. This was done over the phone but as you have written that you are looking forward to their response then you may wish to email the forum mods - [email protected] - with your account details. Theres a good chance they can sort this out for you.

  • My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

    My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening? 

    It is important to understand that Mail uses TWO servers, a Receiving Server and a Sending Server.
    When you create a new mail message, or reply to a message, the Sender server is shown in the message composition window like this:
    That drop-down window allows you to select which of the Sending Servers you previously set up should be used.
    In general, once you choose a Sending server, its choice will "stick" for all future replies to messages from that Receiving mailbox.

  • Whenever firefox is turned on it starts sending data, more data is being sent than i am recieving as downloads for opening websites

    when i open firefox, it starts sending data, it doesnt matter which website i open, it is continuously sending data, if i look at my wireless connection status on my laptop the packet counter for data sent is just clicking over non stop where as the packet counter for data received runs a lot slower.

  • Debt collectors chasing me for an account that was...

    Hello all,
    Received a phone call this afternoon from quite an aggressive lady from a company called Advantis and representing a third party called TDX.  She was quite cryptic at first and started out by asking me for lots of my personal details.  I went along with this for a while then decided I had had enough and I wanted to know what was going on.  
    She informed me that I owed (either her company or TDX, I'm not 100% sure as I had just woken up) for an outstanding BT bill of £197.  I told her I thought she must have made a mistake but she was not interested and just wanted to talk about payment.  She wasn't even able to give me exact dates or even the reason for the charges but did inform me that she worked for a debt collection agency.
    I told her I would commit to nothing until I rang BT.  I got through to the BT call centre about an hour later and was indeed told I had owed broadband and line rental frees from July, August and September 2010 that they having tried to collect from me unsuccessfully had sold onto a collection agency.
    I'm not currently a BT customer - I cancelled my last account with them at the end of May 2010 as I was moving house.  I told the call centre advisor this and he admitted that he could see on my account a phone call I made on the 29th May 2010 to cancel my account.  I had at that point paid the following months (June) fees.
    However he then informed me that the cancellation had been cancelled!  He did not tell me by who though.  I assumed this was just a minor problem and he would be able to see that my usage (MBs) of the service ceased at the end of May and obviously a mistake had been made cancelling the cancellation.  I never used a phone from this line so it was all just rental and broadband.  He sounded positive that a favourable outcome could be arrived at but he would have to ring me back in 30mins.  Hate these ring back promises as I've been lied to in the past by some BT reps.
    He did ring back, after an hour, but did apologise for this so I was happy enough - the conversation started well but then he informed me that the service had been used as he could see data totals for 3 months after I left my address.  I asked him how this was possible as I had moved out of the property and he basically said this was only possible if I had still been living there and using the service.  He basically implied I was lying and would have to pay the bill with the third party.
    I have a letter from the company I rented the flat from informing me that I had given notice on the flat in April 2010 and would have to move out at the end of May - If I was still there and using the service I'm sure the new tenants would have spotted me!!!
    I was then informed again that this was my debt and he could do nothing for me and I would have to pay it.  I re-iterated that I had left the address at the end of May and asked if there was any possible way this could have happened by accident - he said no the account must have been accessed by me or somebody who knew my password and from my flats landline!  I had never told anyone my password.
    The account was finally cancelled after three months of non-payments and I was told they will have tried all ways of contacting me - nobody thought to Email me at my 10 year old BT Internet account though!
    He ended the call by saying his manager would ring me in 2 hours time, 3 1/2 hours have passed since then!
    From what I have read this seems like a friendly forum - If possible could anyone comment on the following please:
    How and why would a cancellation be cancelled?
    When investigating this before sending to debt collectors did nobody see the cancellation on my account and notice that my direct debits had been cancelled and think it was a bit odd?
    How can my account run up data usage when I no longer lived in the flat or used the router or landline - I had moved 200 miles up the country and was using a Virgin service?
    Does this cast doubt on the amounts of data I was being billed for prior to the cancellation, some of my monthly bills were very high?
    Is my credit rating now trashed?
    Why do BTs overseas call centres only ring back 50% of the time?
    Sorry its so long but I wanted to give as much info as I could, hoping for opinions

    Nobody from the call centre bothered to ring me back as promised yesterday.
    I waited until 12.45 today to ring them again - spent 15 minutes on the phone explaining again to be told the they were having system problems and couldn't help me.
    Was again promised a call back - 8 hours later still no call back!
    If the debt collectors ring again I'm reporting them to the police and BT to the Office of Fair Trading.
    If anyone from BT does read this can I have a job in one of your offshore call centres please - it sounds great, just keep promising callbacks that you never have to make!

  • Emails says sent but doesn't send just disappears; no errors given...

    -Firstly can i start by moaning at Apples awful job with iOS6 (regular OS crashes, intermitent iMessage failures, crap maps, half a job on facebook integration etc.) ...
    Thats asside here is (one of my many issues) I am experiencing since upgrading to iOS6:
    I can send new emails from any of my email accounts (be it exchange or IMAP). But when i recieve an email I click reply (type it) and click send...
    It makes a woosh sound to say sent but stays on sending.... eventually sending disappears and it says up to date. HOWEVER the email does not get sent it just simply vanishes. No error messages, and not in outbox and sent messages. It literally vanshes. I wouldnt mind but it doesnt even reach its destonation so i now cant reply to emails on my phone... Great!
    I have tried deleting and resetting up the email accounts.... did nothing.
    I have tried restoring the phone... did nothing.
    Like i said i can send new emails but it wont let me reply to most of them only some. I have to CC myself into all emails now to see which ones the iphone has an issues with and have so far found no link between them.
    I have seen other online forums with people experiencing the same issue but i have not found a solution or an article on the Apple communities so raised this one.
    Thanks for reading.
    Simon

    Hmm that is my last attempt at fixing it although i dont want to do that as ill lose all my app saves etc    I'ts clearly not happy about something as it is only specific emails (which i also cant forward either), but i can copy the text into a new mail and send that way.
    Ill try updating to 6.0.1 when i get wifi too, that may help.
    thanks for the reply

  • Mail Problem: No outbox, no sent mail unable to send mail

    I wiped my HD and restored my account from back up. All seems to be okay EXCEPT
    When I open MAIL I have no OUTBOX, my SENT mail is empty and while it appears to let me create a new email and send it it does not go to outbox or sent mail, and no email goes out.
    There is no activity from the mail activity pane on send.
    I have deleted the mail.plist and the account and then added it back in. Same results.
    If I switch to a admin/test account on the same device, MAIL works correctly.
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure it was a migration assistant malfunction. Last month I started using an iMac I purchased in May. Upgraded to Mountain Lion. Did not use migration assistant, but did import my mailboxes. They are in an Import folder and I can get to them when I want. Not the ideal situation, but I'll work on it.
    However, I just realized that 13 of the messages I've sent in the last week never did get sent. Some messages I sent did go, others didn't. I realized the problem when I went to my Sent folder to get some info from an email I sent someone and could not find it. I did not see an Outbox in my list of folders on the left. However, when I did a search for the name of the person this email was to have been sent to, the email came up and indicated it was in the Outbox. The word Outbox was a link, so I clicked on it. THEN the Outbox showed up and contents included 13 messages I had thought were already sent!
    After testing sending and receiving from my Webmail, I checked my account settings again to ensure they were correct; they were. I quit Mail and re-opened . . . and all those messages in the Outbox immediately were sent! My Outbox is still in the list of folders.
    Before I switched to my new computer and updated OS, sometimes I would get a message that said the message couldn't be sent and it let me choose another server if I wanted. I would usually choose the same server and it would be sent when I hit go. I always thought it was a problem with the server for some reason. I want Mail to notify me if a message isn't sent when I hit Send. I don't see an option for that in Preferences. Any ideas? I really don't want to always have to double-check to make sure each message I sent goes in the Sent folder!
    Thank you!

  • How do I migrate my old Send Now list of sent files to Adobe Send?

    How do I migrate my old Send Now list of sent files to Adobe Send?

    Bob...I understand and appreciate what you are doing by suggesting that it is our (consumer) fault that we are not ready for this and that we got e-mails.  However, in the busy office, I didn't have time nor the "want to" to start the process of switching over.  I don't understand why you had to make it so hard on the consumer and why not just add what services you have added or updated, or whatever you did, to send now.  Another aspect of the "new and improved" (which is never improved) is that now I have to type in the addresses whereas in adobe send, we could type in one letter and the addresses that started with that letter all came up and we could choose the one we wanted.  This may not be big to you, but is to me and I can imagine a few more people.  I'm sorry that I have not embraced this change with open arms.  Now I have to decide whether to stay with it or not.  Thank you for your reply. 

  • Debt Collectors

    Here is a list of event which have left to debt collectors contacting me.
    I rang BT to give 30 days notice of moving home.
    I get home to find BT has been cut off the same day.
    I ring BT to get it reconnected but they tell me I will have to sign up to 12 month contract.
    I argue it was BT's fault and they say they will sign me up for a new 12 month contract but there will be no early termination fee.
    I move home.
    I call BT and ask to cancel the new account. They try to charge me early termination. I explain it should be no charge and to look at the notes.
    BT agree and cancel my contract.
    3 months later I receive an email from debt collectors for 0ver 350 pounds (whilst on holiday in USA).
    I immediately call BT to resolve this. I wait in queue on my mobile for 15 mins. The operator says he will arrange a call back.
    Call back never happened.
    Online chat India were no help and could not understand this long story.
    Please could somebody from BT read and understand this message and respond? I'm trying my hardest to sort this out but BT are not making it very easy at all.
    Thank you

  • IS THIS LEGAL?? Original Creditor listed as the Debt Collector instead of Capital One!!

    I just checked Quizzle and I know that the scores are FAKO scores, but I was really checking the credit reports. I had to fill out a form to send in for my husband's and my reports as they will not allow us to pull online.  Anyway I found this!
    Is is legal for Capital One to list PR as the original creditor??? We never signed any paperwork with PR!! They are the debt collector on my and my husband's reports!! 

    I would speculate that it is an error on the part of the party who produced the credit report rather than an inaccuracy of reporting to your credit file. The substance is unaltered... you have one OC and one debt collector.Assertion of "illegality" would be based on an assertion that they have intentionally misreported inaccurate information.I see no basis for making such an assertion.

  • I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
    right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
    now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website.  I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
     I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire.  Do you have any suggestions.......
    On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine.  But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
    I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since. 
    I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ...  all to no avail. Problem still exists.
    I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
    there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.

  • Hi, has anyone had an issue where their iMac has started sending spam emails to all in their contact list. This has just started happening to mine. The emails are about starting a new begining with a link to I suppose some dodgey web site

    My iMac has started sending emails to all those in my contacts list. It's the same email friends are getting but there is nothing in my sent box. Have I got a virus (don't want to mention that word!!) or something on my Mac and how can I get rid of it?
    Thanks

    I had a similar issue with a Hotmail account, until I changed the password. Good luck.
