Hi. I had a Capital One CC and was charged-off recently. When I went to checked my account on the website, Hunts & Henriques is listed. The number posted on Capital One’s website is directly calling Hunts & Henriues law firm. I called and informed me that a lawsuit is being filed. I asked for a debt validation and they sent me the entire statements. I called again within 30 days and the person asked what’s my financial situation is. He offered me a year or a 2 year plan. I said I don’t have any money to pay. But I said I’m willing to settle but he kept insisting why do I want to settle if this is a better deal? I also asked for a paid in full after paying he said I have to call the original creditor for that but I said I need to get a confirmation in writing before paying. So I decided to make a 2 year plan. I received the letter today. But on the payment plan statement, why is Capital One listed as plaintiff?

This firm is a debt colletor. The purpose of this letter is to collect a debt and any information obtained may be used for such purpose.
I didn’t know better. Before googling for information, I decided to just call the law firm which is a debt collector and I think I made the wrong decision. Please what should I do now, should I start paying them or request a new one with pay for deletion on CA. I also read somewhere that doing a monthly payment plan is a bad idea as its a judgment on me. Please help. Thanks.
