This number kept calling me for a couple of weeks and never said anything until today. It was a lady from a collection agency saying I still owe an old Verizon bill from 2010 but funny how I agreed on a settlement last year and paid it in full!!! And she had the wrong year it isn't from 2010 the old verizon bill was charged off in 2008. Sounds kind of shady to me!

I also have received calls from this company on an account that was charged off but as of last year has been paid in full! So why don't you tell your home office to update all of your files because they are wrong!!!! And I know what I am talking about because I too have worked in a collection agency before and instead of harassing innocent people I actually helped them solve their problems and helped CORRECT THE COMPANY'S MISTAKES!!!!! So before "speaking out of your A$$" why don't you take a look at your own problems and correct those before you try to tell people how to pay their bills or say "Man up and take out the checkbook" REAL F****** PROFESSIONAL you DOUCHE!!! : )
Funny I got a call about the same thing on Aug 2. Paid off April 2012 and I get a call August 2013 stating I owe something like $350. Luckily I saved all documentation to show it was paid and faxed to to them. Let's see it they stop calling.
Lets hope there was no identifying info on what you sent or I would bet you're not done with them. These type of 'collection agencies' simply get your information from another bottom feeder and tries to collect from people who can be intimidated. I have a friend who fell for it. She couldn't afford to pay anything to anyone but they scared the hell out of her with their threats. Its amazing how many people are unaware of these type of people until its too late. Everyone should be aware that UNLESS YOU GET AN ACTUAL BILL don't pay anyone anything! Contrary to their threats, no one can take you to jail for owing money! The fact that they do everything over the phone and don't even have the decency to leave a message should tell you how 'legitimate' these jackoffs are. Keep your money in your pocket until you have PROOF you owe. May God protect you from these liars and thieves, there's a ton of them out there.
I have a second line on my phone with a number that is NOT publisheD and has NEVER been given out to a single person. I receive daily calls from this company (that uses multiple phone numbers). No response to my answering the phone, and never leaves a message.
THIS IS A SCAM BECAUSE THEY ARE CALLING TO A PHONE NUMBER THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED. WHICH MEANS THEY ARE USING AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM OF RANDOM PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SCAM.
