Hello everyone. I have a problem with this company Bennet & Deloney that Started like this:
little more than 3 years ago I was in a bad moment of my life (money)and I was working for this important clothing Store chain, simultaneously I had another Job to pay off my mother's rent and needs because of her health issues. I was 23 by then and mother's day was approaching and ......I took something out of the damage box of the store(wich is supose to be send back to factory) and suddenly I saw myself in the worst, embarassing situation of my life.
They sent my case to this company(not B & D ) who took care of this matter, paid the fees they charged me on behalf of the store company and problem was solved after all .
After all this time I recieved few days ago a letter from this company Bennett & deloney telling me that they are handling all the cases of this store company from their previous collection agency and they are requesting me to pay the same amount I paid 3 1/2 years ago to settle the claim. furthermore there is a paragraph that says:" Please note that the civil damages and/or penalties requested in this letter are in addition to any criminal penalty" . It also says that if I don't pay my state law(florida) may allow a civil action against me and that I have to pay all costs including attorneys.
I have prove of payment and the letters I recieved from the previous collection agency saying that the case is settled. What do yo recomend I should do? please HELP...Am i being victim of a scam after all?
