got call from NES twice claiming to be contracted by Bank of America to collect an old acct. they could not verify any info or verify the previous collection agency that had the acct. i told them i am still under contract to the previous agency (which is true) so they would need to get that agency to send me a release in writing. person said that would not happen. i told her it had to for me to work with them. since then, they have called again but are having their phone numbers masked so they look like they are coming from difference places. either that or they are using home agents although I swear I talked to the same girl both times even though caller id was coming from 2 totally different parts of the country! look out for them and make sure they verify info for you first, not the other way around. also don't let them upset you...this is what they want to get you to at least pay something. make them do their work properly to get the money.
This number calls on my cell phone and my roommate's house phone. I never answer and they never leave a message. Times are hard enough without engaging with a debt collector. I became ill and have a credit card debt. Nothing I can do about it.
1st call 17 JN 13, 5.25 P.M. Caller ID: Ridgewood, NJ. Let go to VM, no message left. No debt, no issues, never a client of Bank of America so ???. Go figure.
