This a copy of a reply to my post in "Resources", titled "Debt turned over to Javitch,..." Is this kosher for them to contact me in a forum like this? I would like to contact GE Money Bank if they're willing work this out, but I'm not sure about them contacting me here like this. Also, I wanted to make you aware if you weren't already that they are using this technique here.

It's not unusual or uncommon for creditors or collectors to use sites like this to get an idea of what's being said but it's the first time I've ever seen a creditor use this type of direct solicitation here. If you decide you want to work something out it might be better to contact GE directly rather than giving information to someone you don't know.

Is this a CA working for the OC? If it were me I would ask for validation (state and FDCPA) to make sure they are who they say they are before commiting to any agreements.

Javitch is a CA. I don't know who this is claiming to be from GE. I'm not even going to contact her. I have contact info for OC. I just wanted someone to know that they're trying to drum up sales here. If this site sells advertising, then they are skirting around the system.

They arn't skirting around the system, CA's will use any medium they can unless a limited or full decease and disist letter is sent to them. If it were me, I would send a validation request if they made inital contact with me though any medium with any message implicit or explicit... but that is me.

I worded my reply wrong. By contacting me through this forum, the CA is trying to gain commissions. This is the same as an advertisement. I do some work on another forum site. Our policy is that if you want to try and sell something, you need to pay for advertising on our site. Anybody that offers to sell something without paying for it is considered a spammer on our site and banned. Again, in this particular post, I was just trying to alert an administrator that his was going. I have an original post where I was asking how to deal with them, to which I got some very helpful answers.

I'm asking someone higher up to look at the post and make a decision. I do find it strange for GE to try to make contact rather than the CA hired by them to collect. My experience has been once an OC turns something over to a CA, they don't want anything to do with you until the issue is resolved.

Sorry I just got around to seeing this. I have traced the users IP that posted the message on the forum, and it is not leading back to GE. Major companies like GE use their own IP's. Moreover, the IP is tracing back to New York and not to Phoenix, where the user says they are from.


I would not send any information to the poster. They claim to be from GE, but in my opinion they are not. I am sending said user and e-mail to see if I can confirm.
