All the time in the world? I'm limited to a few hours a week. You lucky soul!

You start by compiling documentation for your complaints to various agencies. You already have some obvious violations of FDCPA, all the stronger because your alleged debt to CAMCO was already paid in full.

However, before you file a complaint with FTC, et al, run a check in public records for every jurisdiction including the proper jurisdiction for a lawsuit of this kind where they threatened to sue you, or as happened to me said the OC forbad filing.

If you can afford it, get a full list of case numbers filed searching for the plaintiff's name, which is "Capital Acquisitions & Management Co." with maybe a comma and an "Inc." At the Franklin County OH site, "Capital Acquisitions" would cough up the list even without the plural "s". Misspell "capital" or enter "CAMCO", anfd you will get zip, they don't sue under their d.b.a., they sue under their alternate d.b.a./a.k.a.

They threatened to sue me in a state I have never visited, much less resided in. IF I could I would search records in every county, city and burg in that state but my counsel for that territory tells me I'd be bankrupt afterwards because "there are more counties per sq mi in that state than any other state in the union." I don't have a readable map, so for the present I have to take his word for it.

Didn't they behave as if they already had a judgment in hand when they started calling you? They sure did with me.

Yours is the second report of a debt that was paid in full prior to being purchased by companies that specialize in purchasing bad debt that has lingered beyond statutes of limitations, and they have indeed been litigating and threatening to litigate debt that can not legally be litigated.

To file at all, they must present some kind of evidence of re-aging, or our real problem is not with the "CA", it's with the courts that accept the filings.

I personally have a bad feeling about this. It would take only one careless bottom feeder letting trash get into the wrong hands to get a scam going that would do everyone in, including the CAs.

Check out the Franklin County OH site CLOSED cases filed by Capital Acquisitions & Management. Read every link to every page except the details for the plaintiff, that is identical case by case. Somewhere in those 12 by my last visit cases are one or two where plaintiff moved to dismiss. I have no desktop space and anyhow thought that Friday I'd know the answer to the question that raised. But it didn't work out that way.
