Hello, I have an account in collections with Calvary Portfolio in NY for a previous account I had with XXXX Bank which was a credit card used for XXXX bills. We had a balance of {$460.00} as of XXXX 2014 with XXXX Bank which was charged off to Calvary and they are now charging us {$1000.00} and will not settle for less than that amount. I have contacted both XXXX and Calvary attempting to settle for at least {$500.00} or {$600.00} but they will not work with me. This is the only collection agency that has not been willing to work with us. I do not think it is fair that the charge off was more than the owed amount. This is highway robbery, specially when this is for XXXX bills and when we are looking to pay it off. Please help us as we have been dealing with this for over XXXX months now. Thank You.
