Received numerous calls with no messages left. I finally answered today. Got a guy saying he is calling from Diversified Consultants stating they are collecting a debt . When I started asking questions he treated me like I was an idiot. Then his "supervisor" got on the line and started yelling at me that I had to pay all this money, that I know I don't owe. I told him to give me his number and I would call back as I am at work and can't talk. He said he had to set up payment before I hung up. I again politely said I could not at this time due to being at work. He got very nasty and I then politely hung up.
Dumb [***] .. For one , they are not aloud to cuss at you on the phone . Nor can they start screaming at you. It is easy ( and i hope they are looking at this now) To get a law Suit against the individual... they hve to buy law record the call. as long as you have prof that they called and you complain and it is legit. then you may have a case. If they didn't record the conversation, but you have the time and length of the call, then you can go after the company. and they will completely erase your debt at their cost. cause it would cost the company more money to settle then just write you off as a loss, and they will not ever call again even if you have a new debit you didn't pay. you would be considered to risky and a problem. I have done this to a few Collection companies. Even though i was willing to pay my debt, since i did go through a Divorce and ended up losing my job and had to pay Her debt too. and the only thing i asked is if they could hold off for a few months so i may get on my feet and i would be happy to work it out with them... AHHHAHAHAHA,, YEAH RITE. Then started the name calling, and a bunch of other stuff, that i won't get into. .. I even let the one dude know that i knew where he worked and lived. Got to love us Hackers .. anyway that is besides the point. . The point is they can be stopped and lose there jobs. and lose money. so look into these things. if you owe the debt. then try to work it out, even 5.00 a month. but if they start flipping out on you then screw them. go after them. . they need to be stopped as far as the practices they do or mostly the employee's they hire., but always remember, a lot of the companies are SCUM. and the employee's are commission based too .. anyway good luck.
I have received several calls from this numer, they claim to be Diversified Consultants collecting for Verizon Wireless. Oddly enough I just reopened a Verizon Wireless account with no problems, so I clearly do not have any outstanding debit. I spoke with them and they insisted that I owed them $360 but I could settle for $160. I told them I have to call Verizon Wireless to see if I had anything outstanding with them. The person who called me then told me they would shut my cell service off for refusal to pay. Sure enough, they VWme as owing NOTHING and told me this is most likely a scam.
