Shafritz & Braten grossly inflated the amount due on a collection account for a credit card that they had purchased in which I did owe. The amount due with the credit card company was $2955 and they say that I now owe them $7, 100 but won't provide any proof. I have paid them over $2, 200. I will not pay over the original amount due, but I'm not sure that will clear the debt and remove from my credit report.
