Cambridge, Huxley & Associates


A few weeks ago, I received a call from Cambridge, Huxley & Associates about a PDL I had with EZ Money (storefront) that I made some payments on, but had to stop (I'm in Texas). I told them that I needed to receive something from them in writing as I don't make payments based on phone conversations alone. The rep was nice enough and said I should have already received something, which I hadn't. About 2 weeks ago I did receive a letter from Cambridge, Huxley & Associates. It was a dunning letter (I assume), but all it contained was the name of the original creditor (EZ), the current creditor (them) and the amount due. The text following states that the debt "was SOLD by EZ Corp, all of your rights and legal obligations regarding this contract have been transferred to our office".

Yesterday, a rep from Cambridge, Huxley & Associates called my mother's home and left a message. My mother returned the call and was treated rudely and told that they were "looking for (me) in regards to charges that were being filed". She did not tell them who she was or her relationship to me and hung up. I call the company and talked to the same person. I was told that as of last Friday, the charges were being filed in my county and wage garnishment papers were being sent to my employer. During our conversation, the rep said that the company "had been RETAINED BY EZ Corp". She also told me that they had contacted my bank and the bank had told them that they (the bank) had closed our account due to "so much activity". This is not true. We closed our account partially because of other PDL companies taking unauthorized debits, but also because we wanted to switch banks.

My question is - do I address the situation the same way whether Cambridge, Huxley & Associates owns the debt or are just a CA for EZ Corp? My plan is to send and C&D letter requesting they only communicate with me in writing via USPS and for documentation to validate the debt. Is this the best thing to do?

Also, how do I know if they have filed charges against me? (If they really have.) Will I receive some documentation from the court?

Any other thoughts/advice on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.


You need to send them a debt validation letter, you have 30 days from the date you received the dunning letter to request debt validation, it's very important that you make them validate this debt before you do anything else. Search this site about debt validation. also review the link below about your rights.

Let me tell you that that is one of the worst company I have ever delt with. I received a call for a final balance of $100.00 which they fail to submit. After two months I got a call from the person who forgot and never wrote notes and than from her boss who yelled at me disrespected me and threaten me. When my husband try to get on the phone to see who was disrespecting me like that he hunged up. They will not send me anything in writting. I am waiting to see what they are going to do next.:cool:

They can not do anything to you or file any kind of charges against you They are liers in the state of Texas they can not garnish wages. If I was you I would send them a letter of cease and decese and be done with it . They can not even put this on your credit. The Law does not protect pay day loan companys. I work for one thats how come I know. I also know there are scam artist out there dont belive all they tell you no charges can b filed against you expecially in the state of Texas. If they contact your place of employment you can file charges againts them. :)

Thank you for this! It really helps!....I was told to set up pay arrangements with them, and I asked them if they could send me something in writing before we did this. She got upset and was being rude...it was kind of funny, it seems I caught her in her bluff. She said she would send something through email but I never received anything so blew them off. Today I get a call stati.g they will be at my house in the next 24-48 hours cause they need me to sign some legal documents. With a number to call and get the processed stop before they came...whatever! Thank you.

It didnt even sound professional cause there was music playing in the back ground...:)
