We have great credit, thankfully, but somehow my cell number became the target for collecting on a student loan. There were tons of calls (I never answered thanks to these websites) and then peace until today this number showed up. So not sure how my number got on their lists, I haven't had a student loan since 1983, and it was paid up long ago. Bless you all for reporting on these numbers.
I live with two elderly parents and these calls form tate and kirlin 267-407-0100 are relentless.
They have and still are affecting the health and stress levels of these two individuals.
I hope there will be a stop put on this unhumane conduct from this agency.
They are looking for debt collection that is from several years ago that is unattainable.
I also agree that this a fraudulant company looking to monopolize on instilling fear into people
by threatening tacticts. They should be made punishable for the argumental, harrassment they
are forcing on people.
This company is quite annoying, but your phone ID will show the number as 267-407-0100. It is a debt collection company and the first contact person was beyond rude. If you ask about the "debt" they won't give you any information unless you agree to pay the debt. How absurd is that? You should never pay for something that may not be your debt. They will tell you half truths or complete lies. After we found out the originating party to the debt, which we had to do on our own, we contacted them directly and found out it was placed in error by the originating company. We have a letter from the originating company stating the same and we have faxed it to the Tate, Curlin and Associates a total of three times. They stated they never received it the first 2 times, but we called after the second time and they confirmed they received it. Also our fax machine printed a report that indicating it was also received by their fax machine.
On the final contact, I advised the supervisor that I would need a confirmation letter from them that the debt was cleared. He stated that they don't issues letters like that, only the originating company can do so. What's bizarre about that is the letter we sent them is from the originating company. The whole thing is so Catch-22, it's like a circular argument.
They will call several times within a short period of time, no messages. I called them back and spoke a supervisor and asked that he remove my phone number and the house phone number from their list. He said he would do so, I will say that he was very apologetic and polite. I told him that the initial contact was to my cell phone and asked how they got the number. He said that they bought it from a government site....that's not true. Then he said that they buy it from the cell companies, that's not true, because it is against the law to sell the phone numbers.
Make sure you keep a log of any calls you make to them or receive from them. Log the date, time and person's name then some notes on the conversation. It will help you in the long run. Keep good records on anything you send or receive from them.
We cleared up our issue, but with much work and a whole lot of harassment by their representatives
