Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Back to collect 7 years later?
I had a run in with WOrld Omni who screwed me 7 years ago. I met my obligations when i turned my lease in but they added a bunch of extra costs and came after me. I was going to fight them and then they wrote it off as an I-9. Many years of getting over it (credit wise) which a have good credit now, a collection agency called me and said they reopened the case and World Omni will let me pay half to end this but it has to be paid by 5PM today(2/26-Friday) and they will erase the I-9. And if i do not , they will come after the full amount plus fees. I owe them 2031. they will let me out with 1000.00 Is this scam and should I pay. The financial company collecting is NAFS out of Williamsville NY?? Please help me ...FAST. Thanks

Re: Back to collect 7 years later?
Do you know if a judgment was obtained against you? If not, then it appears that the statute of limitations has run. If that is true you may have a claim for violations of the FDCPA.
