Has anyone had any experience with debt collectors? I was sent a letter from a company called convergent claiming they are acting on behalf of a creditor (a bank) that I’ve no interaction with. They are saying they’ll accept 50% of the amount due but there’s no mention of what the debt is. I’m assuming this is a scam but wanted to check with fish here. I have no idea how the letter got sent to me as the address is used only for my Amex cards as I don’t live in the US anymore

Does anyone know how accurate these rates are that pop up when you search “30 year mortgage”? I locked my rate in a month ago at 5.625 but on Google that week it was still showing around 5.25. Is my lender just taking a big cut? They have good reviews. Thanks!
