This is regarding a Debt for a credit card.

I was not aware of a lien placed over my property, when I tried to refinance to be able to get out of some debts, then is when I found out that I have a lien ; I could not refinance until the lien was off the property, so I contact the debt collector agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX, I tried first to get information on the debt ; she told me that the original debt was for {$13000.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX handled by Colorado Capital Investment ; and that debt now raised to {$22000.00} due to an interest placed on it. I asked her to please reduce my debt to the original to be able to refinance and thus pay other debts. but she told me that it was not allowed it. ; I request to speak with the manager, she told me that she will transfer the call but he/she may not be available ; so I left a message with my petition, file # and all information needed, but I never received a call back ; so I had to pay them the {$22000.00}, the check was sent to then by the refinance mortgage company. 
I am complaining because I believe that, first the interest was too high ; if I would not refinance, that debt would keep increasing and at the end they would be taking all the equity on my house ; I think they are not fair at all to try to help the consumers.
