Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Massachusetts
I took out a loan for $2,00 in 2007. Shortly after taking out a loan I was laid off from several jobs over the past few years, making it difficult to pay the loan. I recently made a settlement with the loan company. When I checked my credit score, I discovered that I owed a collection agency $1,500! i am confused as to how I take out a loan from one company and owe another $1,500.
Please Help!

It is very possible that the company who loaned you the money sold the debt to a debt collector. If you would like to schedule a constulation to discuss your situation, please feel free to contact my office.
