I tried that, but the companies told me who they sold the loan to and say I have to pay them instead.
Bruh thats total bullshyt. They do that and told me the same thing.
My roommate never paid the last bill for con edison and i found out once it was in collections...i tried to pay the collection agency, they said they cant give me anything in writing that i paid it off and on my report it will show that i was in collections...i told them that they were of no help and ima leave my account in collections...
Went to con edison, told them i have a balance from 2014, they took the payment and gave me a reciept. Next month it disappeared of my report.
Collection agencies are bumch of lying fukks
Update 2022: credit over 800. I started fixing my credit in 2016…I was around 480 lol. Only debts today are student loans and a car note. Feels great
