Just got a call and the guy breezed through his name and the company so I asked what company again and he said Simm Associates. Then I asked what he wanted and he said he needed to verify my address, read off my address, then I said I don't give out personal information to people I dont know who cold call me, then the person mumbled something and hung up on me. There website https://www.simmassociates.com/consumer-resources/ says it's debt collector but I am not sure what debt they are collecting on as I am up to date on all my debts. I fired an angry email off to via their contact us link on their site too.
A man called me at work at mumbled the name of the company he went on to talk about a credit card that I owe. I explained tp him I can not take personal calls at work he went on I asked for the name again he mumbled it agian. He claims that his secretary has been calling me at home, which is a lie, He is threating to garnish my wages says he is going to fax the information over to HR. I asked for his number he would not give it to me began talking over me. He also claimed to be from a law office. He was very rude I don't think anyone from a law office starts yelling at the other person on the phone. He says that in seven days they will start garnishing my wages. This is the first time I have heard from him. He called back and asked for HR but did not get through.
I have received several calls from this company.. each identifying different names, etc.. but all asking for me. They say they have a complaint against me and want to speak with me..however, do not go into detail.
IDK what this could be about..I am past due on some bills due to loss of job.
(so I can guess it is an unsecured debt of some sort) I have told them several times to do it in writing..they refuse and continue to harass.
How do I get rid of them??
Got sevaral calls over the last month or so from Simms Associates. Same "Important business Matter to discuss" on voice mail. I am not aware of oweing anyone any money and will not speak to them. However it is an 866 number (toll free).
Just let any unknown calls go to voice mail.
I received a call from this number saying they were Sim Associates and they had "time sensitive information" for me that needed to be discussed immediately. And they gave an 800 number even though it came from this 302 number.
I just got a call from this number. I never answer calls from a number I do not recognize, I let it go to voice-mail (I figure if its important, they will leave a message). Even though the name for the Caller ID shows IXC COMM, the guy on the voice mail says he is from Sims Associates. He has our names (my husband's and my) right, but I'm still not going to call him back. The voice-mail he left consists of the following (with the "case number" and our real names left out):
This message is for [name] or [name], uh, This is Bob Foster contacting you from Sims Associates. Either one of you needs to call me back today it is very important that I speak to you, about an important business matter that you two have with my office. You can return my call back at 866-572-8788. Also when you call back please refer to file number [number]. [repeats file number]. This is Bob Foster contacting you from Sims Associates. Thank you.
I refuse to call back, and if they call me back and I feel like answering the phone, I will record the call. I also have a very detailed, easily accessible caller ID list and I get an email with the voice-mail attachment from my phone company when I get a new one. (In other words, I'm planing for them to leave a data trail to prove that they were harassing me... if they call back).
Also, I believe my husband has requested a certified letter from them proving that they own the debt and what the debt is about. Its been months, and no letter. Hrmm....
