This company keeps calling my house asking for someone that isn't connected with me. The name of the company is Goldberg and Associates. I called them back and they say they will remove my number and it will take up to 24 hours.
We have been getting calls at our home phone number for 13 years - threatening collection on a woman need Maria Taylor whose name is nothing like my wife or mine, nor do we know anyone with a name even close to that. Yesterday I received another call from 971-404-3188 asking for Maria Taylor and when I called the number they answered the phone "Summons Unit". I asked for the name of the company and they told me it was "Goldberg and Associates". I explained the situation and they assured me that my phone number would be removed from their database within 24 hours. Then today I received yet another call with a different case number asking for Maria Taylor. I called them again today and asked to speak with the owner - they told me that "Mr. Goldberg" is in court but he will call me back - I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the call.
These "A" holes keep callin my job, As I work in Human Resources , we all laugh becuse if this was a real sumons , they would show up in person like they do with a garnishment.
I also received a call stating 2 charges for fraud...summons at my home or place of employment! Per my previous experience with these type of calls per fraud investigator NYS attorney general office, they have to provide validation of the debt...plus they cant leave threatening messages as violation of FDCPA! I am going to file a complaint to see if the calls stop! But do not pay them a penny!!!!
They can do it because they are operating illegally so they don't have to follow the law. No one seems to be able to find them to prosecute. They use different numbers and spoof the numbers that they call from...it's just a big scam.
