I had a question last week about a debt from 6/96 with Ameritech that a CA named Money Control is trying to collect. They contacted me last week by phone for first time ever since debt began, and they demanded full payment by 5/22/02. I told them that there was no way that I could pay that by 5/22, and they told me if I did not I would have my wages garnished etc. I basically told them I would have to roll the dice on that threat, because I could not would not pay this by 5/22/02. They said they were also required by law to send out a statement to me for this debt via mail. I received their statement today and it is basically an invoice showing the total balance of $1100 and asking for $100 payments per month til balance is paid. I do not know where this $100/month payment thing came from, but I am not going to pay it. I was advised on this BB that the SOL is up on this debt(Michigan), so should I just send them a letter requesting them to stop further contact with me or a letter asking for validation? Also, if they report this 100/month payment thing to the credit bureau will that reage my debt? I did not agree to, sign any document, or send them a blank piece of paper let alone an agreement to do this payment plan. Please advise.
