I received a phone call today from - and - claiming that if I did not pay $900.00 within an hour that papers would be served. I contacted the original creditor, - Bank who provided me with information on where the account was sold. This account was sold to - - - who then sold it to - - who then sold it to - for $240.00 who then sold it to - - for $240.00 who sold it to - - on -/-/2015 which was yesterday. - claimed to have sold it to Western Portfolio Assets the same day. Western Portfolio Assets claimed their sister office, - - - has the account. When I spoke to them and asked for a validation document from the original creditor they stated they do not have to since they now own the debt. How does the said debt go from $240.00 to $900.00? This company who according to the Chain of Title just received ownership of the debt yesterday and has claimed to sent letters to my address over 30 days ago. I have never received a letter from this company or any company regarding this debt. They are threatening to take me to court if I do not pay the $900.00 or an agreed upon amount within the hour. This debt is not on any - of my credit reports.
