I’m Being Taken To Collections For A Possibly Illegitimate Debt.
I made an order on Walmart back in 2021 for an engine cylinder head that I paid for, however it was stated that a core return was required. I did my due diligence by trying to contact the seller and walmart once I was getting zero response from the seller and never got anywhere with trying to arrange the return of the core. A year goes by and nothing, so I eventually get rid of the item because I assumed I was all good since it was either not required or it was complete negligence.
They contacted me some time later and I informed that they will not be getting the item, nor payment in lieu of the item as I had done my due diligence and considered the matter settled due to their negligence. The original item was paid for.
However now a collection has hit my credit report by this negligent seller, and walmart is not providing any help. I have reciepts of payment for the item received and my attempts of due diligence met with negligence. I am willing to take this to court if needed and go after them for monetary damages as this is harming me.
What are my options and what’s the best way to approach this?
