I have a credit card account with Best Buy Credit Services. I have legitimate purchases on the card that my daughter incurred and did not pay. She had been intercepting our mail in order to hide the delinquent status, but we have since been notified through a phone call. We have also been advised that the bill has been passed to a third party collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I do not refute the bill and would like to make a payment. However, I am deeply concerned with the nature of the collection effort. To this day, I am still receiving bills from BOTH Citibank ( Best Buy ) and XXXX. Despite my attempts to make payment, Citibank wo n't take a payment and refers me to XXXX. Furthermore, XXXX indicates that they have not bought the debt so of course they ca n't negotiate a settlement amount. I am very uncomfortable with this scenario. The representatives at both organizations were unable to de-conflict. Why is Best Buy billing me, requesting payment, and then refusing payment? If they have fully passed the debt, why is Best Buy still billing me? Why is XXXX indicating they do n't " hold '' the debt? ( which I suspect is an attempt to bypass settlement negotiations ). XXXX has also advised that interest and late charges can still accrue, which suggests that Best Buy has not passed they debt. Please help.
