Each time I answer someone states that I have an account in collections, but will provide me with no active information on the account or even send paperwork via mail - however they state they have ALL of my information.
Called asking for "Linda" and when I asked who was calling the woman on the other end of the line immediately asked me whether I was "Linda's husband." I played along and said yes. She then told me Linda had a huge uncollected balance with Capital One. I asked her whether she had contacted Linda's attorney and again, without answering my question, she asked if Linda had filed for bankruptcy. I asked her to please refer any questions she had either to Linda's attorney or send her request in writing to Linda's legal address. I told her I considered her call harassing and would not provide any further information - she interupted me and asked if I would listen to her - I responded "No" and hung up.
We have gotten several calls from this number. They never leave a message, so I don't know who they want to speak with. When I call back, I get recording "your call cannot be completed as dialed". If this is indead ARS (a collection agency)............I get a lot of calls from them too from different numbers. We have had our phone number for many years, so don't know how they got it. Our assets are in the millions, so I kind of doubt that a collection agency would be after us.......
If this is a collection agency, they should do more diligent skip tracing to get the right phone number for whoever they are looking for. Quit bothering us.
