Got a letter today from Stoneleigh Recovery Services LLC, a collection agency. A Mr. Andrew Howard wrote the letter to tell me that a credit card account I had long ago (early 1990s) had been purchased by his company in order to collect the outstanding balance. I paid off this debt in the mid-1990s through another collection agency, and I fortunately have kept that paperwork after all of these years.

Furthermore, this debt no longer appears on my credit reports, and if it does it says “paid in full.” It has been a several years since I’ve gotten one of these fraudulent collection agency letters which tries to dupe me into paying off a debt I already paid off. I simply throw the threatening letter away. This is why it’s always a good idea to save every piece of correspondence when you pay off a debt. Saving those documents comes in handy when crooks like Andrew Howard of Stoneleigh Recovery Services LLC try to fraudulently collect money.
