Get calls from this number off and on. Always ask for a person who does not live at this address. I am sure they are the lowest of the low......bottom feeders trying to get money out of someone.
A phone call, email or text message from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:
* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money. ["Written" means snailmailed - US Mail ... not emailed or texted]
Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via green dot, Western Union, or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.
IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

My mother is constantly getting calls from this company: CRM but the crazy part of it is they are stating I owe money on a hot check I did not write. Time to get my lawyer involved
Sane with Katnip above me, Various callers using this number and others claim i've written a hot check, or have a court date (for same week), etc.
Definately fraudulant callers and/or a scam as they will never identify the company they work for, actual substantial information and when I asked for something in writing through the mail they accused me of "Stalling tactics" and hung up.
