I have no debt other than a current home loan. The message they left was very odd and computer generated. The names were all left blank, and it felt like it was a scam of some sort. I have no doubt that they do not operate on the up and up!
It's Consumer Collection Management, Maryland Heights, Mo. - St. Louis area - they didn't leave a message for me - I think I have a medical bill from earlier this year. Sigh...
Yep, they're collectors for medical purposes... I was promised that if i went to the hospital they would get me my medicaid back and i wouldnt have to take care of it, but they never got it reinstated.. I dont plan on paying a cent since i was screwed over. These **sholes keep calling me and im about to start harassing them the same they are me.
Not just for medical collections, they're trying to collect for an old apartment lease. I was trying to be civil with "Terry Myers," but he was trying to belittle me the entire time. I told him I would be happy to settle the issue, if I could get a copy of the "bill." He said that he is not a letter writer and doesn't have the time. He read my address and said that I already have the bill and it needs to be settled by the end of the month--scare tactic--and was shocked that I would not give him my bank information over the phone, he'd "send a receipt." I have already spoken with my lawyer, and told him that I'm happy to pay any bills that I rightfully owe, but for pete's sake, if you won't send somebody a bill why do you expect me to pay you for it? He accused me of screening phone calls, and I said "Yeah, I have a job like most Americans, and I don't take calls I don't know when I'm working, and if you leave a message with an unknown name or number, I'm not going to give you the time of the day to call you back." He also tried to get me riled, which he was unable to do, trying to tell me to "Calm down. Do you want to settle this?" Finally I said "Wow, you must be really proud of yourself, SIR, you are a bill collector for a living. Everyone hates you." They are real low lifes, these guys.
