hi there, i found this board googling wolpoff and abramson.

i've got a very small debt that went to collection with
w&a, it's $180. when i moved, i contacted my electric
company to turn off service, however it appears they kept
service going an extra two months, and for whatever reason
my final bill ended up at $275. i never received it at my
new address, and was contacted by w&a saying "maybe we can
avoid a lawsuit if you pay us right now!"

now i'm only 23 and this was my first account with an
electric company and i was foolish and paid them $75 on the
spot. i then looked into this company and see how fishy
they are. they sent me an updated bill, saying i owed them
another $200. i ignored it for a while, then started
getting 8-10 calls during the day (when i wasn't home). i
paid them $20 and the calls stopped, and i figured i'd just
pay off the $200 slowly (i'm a recent grad, don't have a
lot of money).

but now they called and my wife was home, and the
threatened to refer the $180 to a lawyer or some such.

i've given up on contesting the original debt, but would
they actually sue over $180, especially considering i've
been making payments on it? i hear they have quite a racket
going, but i can't imagine it's worth their while to sue
over such a small amount. but i could be wrong, obviously.

these people are so sneaky, but i don't have $180 i can use
to pay it all off right now. any ideas?
