Thank you so much for offering this information! I'm really relieved that I'm not the only one being harrassed by this company. By any chance anyone, does this man have a really strong accent like he's from India or somewhere out East? I recieved a call from a 209-920 area code based in California and they told me that the police were being sent to my place of my employment and my residence to further investigate the "matter". If you recieve a call from an Anthony Late, DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR INFORMATION!!! Simply tell him to stop calling you and to notify you in writing of the bill that you owe. If these people persist in calling you from any of those numbers, notify your Attorney General in the state in which you live and they will send you out a complaint form. I've already gotten the ball rolling in that department.
Don't they have to identify who they are if they are a collector? Under the fair collection act. He would not tell me who he was and he answered the phone Hello when I called back. What collection agency answers Hello? I don't have anything out for collection and have not received any paper notices, plus i don't usually put my cell on credit applications and i have had the number for years now.
I have been contacted as many as 3 times a day by cell and home phone. My husband has answered a couple of times and it was a recording asking if his name was ______. I don't answer unknown callers anymore. I have been scammed by a faux collection agency in the past and will not tolerate this "secret" caller. On my home phone it comes up as "anonymous" "unknown number". When we called it back it was a recording with no information or clue about who they are.
