if you look in the phone book under movers/moving then no difference. but transfer companies not under moving usually will receive freight from national trucking companies say; close to a major city because local companies have smaller trucks, know the roads better and can store freight short term. with the cost of employee benefits all companies use contractors/owner-operators. with all due respect no difference in cost between the two it's just a name thing

Usually a debt falls off your credit in 7-10 years from the last payment you make. Is is your debt? If so, it has been 20 years. It should'nt even be there any more. When any creditor calls you, whether is it the actual creditor or a third party agency that bought it, you have the right to question the validity of the debt.

What this means is they have to prove that it is your debt. Next time you get a call, speak to the representative and get the collection agency's phone number, name, and address. You can send them a letter stating you are demanding a "cease and desist" due to you are disputing the validity of the debt. Those are the magic words to make the calls stop – cease and desist, but it has to be in writing to work. Once it is in writing, per the law, they can only make 1 more call to tell you what they plan to do. Most likely, a debt that old from the late 80's.. they didn't have advanced technology then and probably have no documentation or proof whatsoever that it was even yours. Especially if it has been sold many times over already…

Then again, there is also that "maybe" where they did a reverse name search in the area of where the actual "debtor" lives and you have the same name so they jsut call you and try to peer pressure you into believing that it is yours so that you can pay someones else's bill. Do not give your social security number.

Just to be on the safe side, pull your credit report. You get 1 free per year with Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. If it is there, you can easily dispute it with them due to the age of the debt.

P.S. If you feel you are being harrased by the calls and need additional information on what they can or can't do when collecting, google "FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practice Act)" These are the laws governing collections companies of what they are restricted to.

If they are in certificate form, take them to a broker/dealer. Or call the new company and ask them how they want to handle it.

Most likely there was a tender offer period and you should have received information regarding how you can sell your shares. If you don't have this either the broker/dealer or the new company will be able to help.

The least that can happen is that the bigger company will simply start to receive the revenues generated by the company they've purchased. That and maybe the sign on the building and the letterhead logos would change.

The most that can happen is the big company acquires patents, production or service techniques, capital equipment used for production or services, and they let all the small company's employees go. This can happen when a big company is simply trying to get rid of a competitor, or attempting to "purchase" market share.

Generally, it's somewhere in the middle – after all, the employees of the smaller company know how to do the work, so why upset the process?
