These companies have been doing this for a while. I check my report frequently and though Convergent Outsourcing Inc, says that I owe monies to paypal that is in collection, it has NEVER been on my report.
Thats number one sign of fraud.
Secondly when I was finally tired of all the letters etc from them what I did was contact the Cosumer complaint division.
This is the link. http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
I filed a complaint with them, and guess what, they replied rather quickly. This was there response.
Convergent Outsourcing only collects balances placed in our office by our clients. We do not attempt to scam consumers. We have stopped collection efforts and will forward a copy of this complaint and our response to our client.
In response to this communication, Convergent Outsourcing has closed this account in our office and returned it to our client, Paypal Inc. If you have any further inquiries please contact Paypal's customer support at <removed> and reference the Paypal account number above.

What seems strange to me is that one message to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and they shut the whole case down. Im sure they believe they dont scam people. If you do something long enough you surely will believe your doing the right thing.
Convergent Outsourcing is a disease that needs to be eliminated.
I have also filed a complaint with my Attorney Generals office as well. We will see how that goes.
Dont hesitate to do anything, take action on these crooks. The more complaints they receive on their site, the more they believe there is an issue and they will go into full investigation of the company. Its the only way to stop these fools..
