Has anyone else received a collection notice for late fees from Hollywood Video?

[Uniquely]

Is it possible that they have tacked on some sort of penalties and interest that makes the total $300?

$300 is really a piddly sum in comparison to your credit score (but nothing is piddly when it comes to your ethics.) It may be worth it to hire an atty.... not to try to get out of it... but in order to attempt to negotiate a removal of the negative input to your credit score in exchange for a quick and full payment. Just a thought. I don't even know if that would be possible.

That is the thing. Apparently this includes interest... It had been well over 5 years since I had been there last.

I wouldnt worry about it. Its a video store.

I have a $3,000 outstanding on a debt that I am contesting for 8 years and that didnt even stop me from buying a house in 2009

Its in collection shouldnt be there and periodically when I get a harassing call I say, "Hold on, I need to turn down my 65 inch HD TV its SWEEEET. They have stunned silence and say why dont I pay my debts since I could buy a new TV and I say, cuz if I did that then how would I have new tv! DUH!

I LOVE messing with these idiots...lowliest scum sucking job a person can take on this earth as far as I am concerned.
