Post: can collection agency disscuss my sons debt with me?

Posted by elizabeth on 4/23/04
A collection agency called about a credit card debt my son had.I told them he was on ssi for a mental impairment and I was the payee for his check.I made arrangements to pay $433.00 setlement in 2 payments.I mailed a certified letter with a money order to them for $200.00.I got a call after they received the m/o and they told me his account had been taken over by adifferent employee and that the 1st agreement was not valid.They Demanded I pay the whole$433.00 right then with check by phone or they would turn his account over to the city attorny and sue him.I tryed to explain there was noway I could pay this amount in full because it would take his whole ssi check.and I couldnt pay it out of my ssi check either,that I had to pay my own rent and bills.The lady got really ugly and just said well ok then we will proceed .There is something wrong here I just feel it.I dont trust these people.They wont send me proof of the bill or a written agreement.HELP i dont know what to do.Thanks Elizabeth
