Why is Carson Smithfield Calling Me?

Dealing with debt collectors can be stressful and confusing, especially if you're unsure why they are getting in touch. Carson Smithfield may be reaching out for several reasons.

• It's possible that you owe a debt which has been sent to collections, such as unpaid credit cards or medical bills. 

To confirm whether this is the case, you should review your credit report to see if there are any accounts that have gone to collections.

• It could be due to an error in the information they have on file. 

This could include inaccurate identity details, a debt that's already been paid, or a debt assigned to the wrong person. If you think this is the case, request written verification of the debt from the collector.
