Bodog Collections email
[ QUOTE ]
Dear Mr. xxxxxx, Account: xxxxxx This eMail serves as the first notice to confirm that your Bodog account currently has an outstanding balance and has now been referred to the Internal Collections Department for the purpose of credit reporting to both Equifax and TransUnion. You must contact us immediately to avoid your account being referred on to a third party collections agency. Call us toll free: 1-866-887-8422 Sincerely, Accounts Department Bodog.com - Sports, Casino, Poker Toll free: 1-866-887-8422 [/ QUOTE ] I have not played at Bodog for over a year and this is the first they are telling me about this? I am extremely confused and don't know what to do. I do vaguely remember getting an outstanding balance there but I have no idea. Assuming I don't have the money to pay them off right now, what will they do to me? Money for me is very tight right now |

It really depends on the amount of money involved and where you live.

Re: Bodog Collections email
I can't speak for the US but having a few dead beat friends what happened to them is that their credit was ruined and they had collections agencies calling for about 4-6 months. Then it just went away. The credit will repair itself after 6 years.
Odds are that is about what you should get but don't quote me. US collections is a little more aggressive then Canadian because of the frequent use of cheques as a method of exchange. Still for $400 is it worth having an R9 on your credit report for 6 years? Borrow the money from family or friends. |

Re: Bodog Collections email
It depends how hard you want to fight. The easiest thing might be to just pay $400. If you don't pay and stay on top of it you should be able to collect something form the collectors. Generally collection agencies ignore the FDCPA because the maximum they can lose to a law suit for it is $1k and most people that owe money hide rather than sueing these people. Generally after they violate the law you send them a draft of a complaint to be filed in federal court and they send you a check and go away.
