I don’t need anyone putting me down and calling me a deadbeat PLEASE just some advise!!
In may of 2008 I had a payday loan through a on line company (bad idea I now know) they were to take the payment out of my checking, when they tried to take the money they notified me and said there was not enough to cover the payment. Turned out a direct deposit that was supposed to be made wasn’t. I said I would mail a money order which I did. I thought this was cleared up. I have looked high and low for my M.O. receipt and I cant find it, therefore if said company says they didn’t receive the payment then I do feel obligated to pay it yet again as its my bad that i lost my proof of payment…
Now over a year later i get a call from a company Eclipse Resolutions LLC in New York they have a called 4 or 5 times and leave a message I have tried to return their calls to find out what it was they wanted. When I did get a answer the person I was supposed to talk with was never around and there was no voice mail. So I continued to try and reach someone. I called this AM and spoke with someone they are calling in regards to the payday advance I described. I told them I need to see some documentation, something in writing…. OK fine but the secretary was out maybe if I call back the next day they can email or fax me something.. so I chat with this person for a bit, I expressed that IF I receive something in writing and this seems valid I can work out some type of agreement. But I was not unwilling to just send them money…. His response was “well you have screwed up get a lawyer” and he hung up on me…
So I called back spoke with someone else (at that point I still didn’t know what company I was dealing with) I tried to talk with him and was interrupted a number of times unable to ever finish a sentence, he then told me that If I didn’t call back tomorrow and set up a payment agreement and get them a payment via, checking account or debit/credit card by the 3rd that they were sending paper work to my County because I wrote a bad check across state lines and committed a felony offense. I told him again that if they sent me something in writing to validate the debt I would work out a plan to pay the debt starting 8/15 the earliest I would have money available.. He then proceeded to tell me that they were trying to work with me and it was what it was, if i didn’t have the money to them by the 3rd then i can expect it to be turned over to the county and he could no longer speak with me as he was leaving the office and the soonest I could get something in writing was via fax or email tomorrow IF I called them tomorrow and he wouldn’t even take my contact info (email/fax/mailing) so that first thing tomorrow they could get it sent to me. I also asked why I had not received anything up to this date and his response was they will not waste money mailing me a bill.
I am wondering if you can please tell me how to handle this situation? like I said if the original company claims they didn’t receive payment then I feel obligated to pay it. But I also do not have a good feeling about this other company. I am at a loss at this point and unsure what to do.
I have been trying to research this company and have came up empty handed. When they leave a message they say a name, and a call back number and case number: xxxxxx
The company that has been calling me is:
Elcipse Resolutions LLC a litigation company
Tonawanda, New York
1-888-368-1116
I appreciate any advise that you can give me. I have contacted a lawyer for his advise but haven’t heard back yet…
Thank you very much for your time.
They told me that another company purchased the debt and they represent that company, they themselves are a litigation company…. I agree if i can tfind the reciept then i need to pay it and i am willing to do so, If they can show me in writing that i owe them and that it would be reported on my credit as paid in full… he told me they can email me an agreement but its up to the credit agency to remove it from my report.

They are a collection company. They either were hired by the original creditor or they bought the account from the original creditor. Probably, the latter.
Unless you are prepared to prove you paid it, you should pay it…try to negotiate a deletion from your credit report in exchange for payment….
They are a debt collector. They will say anything to get you to pay a debt. They will lie, cheat and steal to get paid.
Talk to a local lawyer. Most will give you free consultation. Do not speak to them again before you talk to a lawyer. Send any communications with them via certified mail.
Look up the statute of limitations in your state. It may not be collectible but most states have a 2-3 year period to collect so don’t count on that. Talk to your local DA and see what they think about it.
