oh boo hoo !
Look who is crying to the FTC.
check out page 2
" the debt that is sold has almost always been "charged off". Depending on the credit grantor, charge off typically occurs about six months after the consumer has made his/her last payments on the account. By that time the debtor IS NO LONGER A CUSTOMER OF THE CREDIT GRANTOR.
( if they aren't a customer of the credit grantor HOW can the REAL Plaintiff be the original credit grantor ?
(as Mr Rogers would say, "can we say intrinsic fraud"?)
check out page 8. ...
"nothing in the sale of a debt magically creates a customer relationship where it had previously terminated"
As the banking industries suggest in their proposal to implement the Privacy
Act, the "customer relationship" TERMINATES when the debt is in default and charged off by the credit grantor.
It goes on to say...
Rather, the debt buyer is trying to collect on a defaulted debt from a consumer for whom the customer relationship TERMINATED before the debt was sold.
These words out of the mouth of the long list of lawyers arguing in defense of the debt buyers !!!
Read it for yourself.
It makes it pretty clear, if the debt has been charged off YOU HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ORIGINAL CREDIT GRANTOR.
THEY said it in their arguments.
They just want their cake and eat it too.
Personally, I prefer to feed their own words right back to them.
Let's see how fat they can get off of that !
