When I moved in to my current resident some 10 years ago the cable company misspelled my name. How they managed to turn a 4 letter name into a 7 letter monstrosity with only an initial “R” and no vowels in common has always been a mystery.
But it always alerts me when an entity; spammer, scammer, mass marketer contacts me using that misspelling, that they bought my name from the cable company lists.
Today Lockhart Morris contacted me using this name saying I owed money. These people used the non-existent person’s name. I asked who I owed it to. They could not tell me, only that it was a “finance company.” The only thing I have ever financed is my car and that is long paid for and I hold the title. I traded in my old car, which was also paid for, as the down payment 16 years ago.
And my cable bill is automatically deducted and paid up.
They did not have my real name so I asked them what address they had. They didn’t have one. They could not tell me, only that it was from a finance company. I asked when the debt was incurred; they could not tell me, only that it was from a finance company.
Did some checking and this company is in Texas. Did some more checking and it turns out Texas is a haven for illegitimate and semi-legitimate debt collectors. Scam artists. Despite what the Lockhart Morris employee has been paid to post in this site, a legitimate company would have my correct name, my correct address, the name, and date of any legal debt; and this boiler-room phone bank lacks all of those.
Well it seems that I am also getting calls from this phone number as well to include this so-called Zach Jonson in regards to my sister as having me as a point of contact. I also had a Michigan number as well. I am fixing to see what that number comes up to.
This scumbag collection agency has been harrassing my elderly mother and father on the telephone. My parents called me very upset. My dad took ADT security from a high pressure salesman who didnt even explain it to him. My dad was going to pay ADT security $90 dollars to disconnect a service which wasnt even working anyway. He asked for the bill to be sent in writing, but instead they turned the bill over to this cesspool collection agency. Lockhart, Morris, and Montgomery in Texas. 214 522-6424. I live in Ms. This company demanded $2000 to $3000. I tried to talk to them but was unsuccessful since they are ignorant and arrogant trash.They refused to give me any imformation. I do have legal POA and was trying to help my parents. The woman I talked to stated that she had 2 years of law school so I better watch out. I guess all this [***] learned was just enough to work in a low life collection agency since she obviously was too stupid to finish law school. The only thing smart about her is her smart [***] mouth. I will be sending them a letter of cease and desist and report them to the FCC. They have already been reported to the BBB and the attorney general. If they are smart they better leave me alone. I may just countersue them for harrasshment and elder abuse. The chance of this place extorting money out of me is just about the chance of a snowballs chance in Hell. I hope they read this letter.
