My advise for everyone who has issues with this, turn the matter over to your FedEx rep. We got a notice from them saying we owed for FedEx Tech Connect services (a service we have never used). Our company has a good relationship with our FedEx sales rep so I just turned the matter over to them. let them handle the frauds
Thank you all for your comments. I'm a Credit Manager for a large company. I received a voice mail message from this company wanting to do our collections. That was a month ago. Since then they called almost every day without leaving a massage. They are a collection agency, but obviously not one that follows the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. For consumer collections an agency must provide written proof of debt. They cannot call again until they do. If they do call, it's another violation. If they continue to annoy, google the act and know your right...then have fun with them.
We use collection agencies. However, this type of agency would reflect poorly on my company if I used them.
I'm confused, they called you wanting to do collections work for you, but you are citing the FDCPA? If they are calling to solicit your business, where would any proof of debt come into play? By the way, the FDCPA does not apply to commercial accounts. It was created to protect consumers. It sounds like there is a commercial debt involved (since there is a credit manager and you use collection agencies) to which they are pursing collection on. Ignoring a past due debt and "having fun with it" is certainly not the best advise.
Our firm received a phone call from this " company " who then proceeded to inform us that they are a law firm. Mr. Jessie Niven is who he stated to be. Whether that is his legal name or not we do not know. He insisted on speaking with the person who runs our financial department. We are a Tax/ Business/ Estate Law Firm.
When asked for documentation, he would not provide any in any form. Sounds like smells like acts like...A SCAM
Peter called, left a VM stating that CenturyLink would "proceed" legally if we didn't respond. TO WHAT??? Saying we owe $7,800+. Once I emailed him, he doesn't have an account #, no contracts, etc.. BEWARE! I smell a BIG SCAMMER!!!
These type comments are derogatory, unfounded postings made by faceless attackers, making them indefensible, since they refuse to identify themselves, probably, due to fear of prosecution for defamation and/or slander.
