Guess what guys and gals....here it is 2011 and these worthless people are still calling and apparently using the same tactics. It's annoying. I get a call about 3 times a week.
Under the fair credit
Under the fair credit reporting act no one may call you before 8am and after 9pm also you may write the company and request no more calls for the credit collections company. This companys name is Crossword management Company their address is PO BOX 22630 Clevland Ohio 44133 the company is also located in Silverdale Maryland. I will post their address there soon. The fair credit reporting act is a federal Law make your complaints to them
Ok, so here is the deal! They got my friends number from somewhere, I'm not even sure where. They call that phone daily 5-6 times a day. There is no message that is left, yes then they actually hang up and call with the unknown number! I added them to my blocked list and and I reported them. I tried to ask what they wanted and told them I was me... They wanted me to spit out my social, date of birth, and some other information that I didn't think that they needed. I would assume that if they are calling to look for me and it is in reference to a bill that I am supposed to owe, they would have the information necessary to discuss it with me. The woman said "you tell me and then I'll tell you what I need" -- No witch, it doesn't work that way.
I bought a call blocker for $100 for my home phone. They get through once and thats it. I added a nasty message to my answering machine for the ones that get through that first time. I wish there was a way to get their home phone numbers. I would spend all day on the internet giving their numbers to Nigerian internet scammers and credit card companies... :)
