I keep getting harrasing phone calls from this number a strange man keeps saying hello than hangs up. Please if u see this number dont answer it . It seems like a scam
I received "3" calls today (8/28/13) from Oxford Law LLC. I asked them what the call was in reference to and also added "are you a debt collector?" The answer I received was "No" we're not a debt collector.
When in fact they were. I was told my call was being taped and that I owed a creditor, which I disputed.
The woman, "Rachel" (who was not an attorney) told me "we will collect this debt."
Today, 8/28/13, I sent Oxford Law LLC a certified, return receipt letter advising Oxford Law that I dispute the validity of this debt and want them to "Cease and Desist" all further communication regarding this matter.
Write a letter to Oxford Law, LLC saying you dispute the validity of this debt. Also, tell them to "Cease and Desist " in further communication. , Send it certified, return receipt. If they continue to contact you after you receive the return receipt card, you have a valid claim for abuse and harassment.
Oxford Law LLC is an aggressive and combative company that's only job is to collect debt either "charged off" a long time ago or incorrectly sold off to them for pennies on the dollar. As the husband, I was not allowed to speak to "Rachel" unless my wife (who's name they were calling) authorizes my speaking with them. I asked if this was a debt collection call and "Rachel" said "No". Eventually , after speaking with my wife for permission to speak with me, "Rachel" said "this call is being recorded and this is an attempt to collect a debt."
I disputed this debt and "Rachel" said "we will collect this debt."
After hanging up, I wrote them a letter disputing the debt and advising Oxford to "Cease and Desist" all further communication. I sent this certified, return receipt. We'll see what happens at this point.
By the way, Oxford Law LLC is NOT a member of the Better Business Bureau.
I had to go through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to get this collection agency to stop harassing me. I was informed that I owed a debt that I know I had paid off with the original creditor and through conversations was threatened with legal action. Although I do not agree with the letter that they sent concerning their attempt to contact me, I am very happy that they closed their file and will not attempt to collect a debt. My advice to everyone complaining that this company is harassing you for debts that you do not believe are legitimate is to submit your claim to the CFPB.

These people called and when I couldn't be reached they called my father and told him that he was a consigned on a credit card I had almost 10 years ago. They told him he had to pay! My dad hung up on them because he suspected they were a scam. I later called them back and they said that I owed them $1500 on an account that I'm sure I payed off in 2010. I asked them why they called my father and told him he was a cosigner for this account. The man said he never said that my dad consigned. At that point I didn't know what to think so told him i was reporting him to the better business bureau and never to call me it my father again and I hung up.
