apartment in collections?
Hello again, about a week ago i posted a question about an apartment that had taken me to collections. Well i have be in contact with the collection company many times over the last week even tried to get a lawyer nothing helped. I offered the collection company the money that i owed the apartment in full and they wont accept it, they said that since they filed for legal action I had to pay the court cost and attorney fees, which I may be stupid but that is is most retarded thing I have ever heard. I will and NEVER will pay for a service that was never offered to me. So all in all they are not the best people on this world. So my new question is how long will they try to find me to serve me with these papers before they will just sell it to another collection company?
if you haven’t received a summons or anything else from a court then don’t believe them. The best thing to do is send them a check for the amount of money you owe. If they cash that check then they can’t take you to court, because they already accepted payment.

Actually, you do owe for court costs and attorney fees — haven’t you ever heard of small claims court. The same occurs anytime a debt goes into collections (even federal loans), you then have to pay additional costs. You can still try to bargain with them and offer them the full amount, but they don’t have to take it. The longer you wait to pay off your debt, the more it grows due to interest and/or late fees (which are legal).

if they have filed a lawsuit against you, then it will be the county sheriff that will serve the papers to you not them. and when they do you just tell the judge you offered to pay them and they would not accept, the judge should side with you. but you should have documented every conversation or action since the first contact with the collections agency

*See my answer to the person who asked: In the US, How Do You Settle a Credit Card Debt?*
In your case, don’t make any phone calls to the collection agency. You’ve already done that and they are trying to bully you.
If you have not received a court action (it would have been served by an officer or a sheriff….not a letter in the mail), send the money to the collection company and forget about it! They’re just trying to bully you!
Be sure to keep a copy of your canceled check or money order stub, in case this thing pops up on your credit later on! Once you pay these suckers and can present proof that you paid them, forget about them!
