Many consumers have it wrong when they think they have no obligation to pay a debt buyer/collector (Portfolio Recovery, Midland, etc.). I found an article that explains why a debtor is legally obligated to pay and wanted to share it with you guys! In no way does this mean that you can't dispute it on your credit report; it just means that when an original creditor sells the unpaid/charged-off account to a collector, your obligation is now with them. "Othewise, the debt purchasing industry wouldn't exist".
I've been on many calls when a consumer said they've been disputed this by asking for a copy of the invoice, or stating that the contract was cancelled. I've also heard them say that the wan to see a signed contract stating they agreed to pay or owe that specific company. So....I've given a few examples of some text that can be used on a dispute letter to the credit bureaus to get these types of collections removed. The is almost a follow up to my last video on removing inaccurate charge-offs.
