They called some one I know in another city and told them they were trying to collect a bad debt from me. They ask them to give me a phone number to call. It was a credit card debt. I owe no credit card debt, have no credit cards. I'm going to take them to court, I'm going to file a complaint with the bar Associates in every state they are in. They are a bunch of [***],period.
Now I found out they talked to my son-in-law in another city also.. What a bunch of jerks.
This is a RV Park business. My employee received a call from a Philips & Cohen's female collection agent looking for someone who passed away last year. My employee was was not employed here at the time and did not know the deceased. When the agent called here today (4/10 at 10:21 am), my employee could not help her and she became sarcastic and pushy. Your agent proceeded to tell her (verbatim) "you are rude, ma'am" and hung up. This upset my employee and she felt attacked and harassed. You don't call a business that has nothing to do with your case and harrass the employees. I looked up this number on the internet and found this to be this collection agency. This is unacceptable.
A woman named Debby called to set up a payment plan and was pretty nice and seemed to be willing to work with me on this. Her supervisor (can't remember her name) got on the phone after I told Debby that I couldn't actually afford the settlement we looked up the day before. This woman was RUDE and was lecturing me on my choice of apartment. She was quite condescending and hung up on me mid sentence.
at 7:45 this morning, we recieved a call from Michael Williams from this number and he told me the my old boyfriend from 10 years ago was deceased and that this was an Estate matter that he was calling about. He gave me all the information on him and wanted me to call him back if I found out anything. FIND OUT WHAT? He just told me he was dead...and I have no debts with him...... so WTF!? There was no reason for even contacting me, and was wasting my time and invading my privacy. I just moved and have a new unlisted number in my HUSBANDS NAME... not mine... how did they even find me? the number he gave me to call back was 1-800-477-6441 x2299.
I will be calling him back tomorrow and tell him what a complete idiot he is. and never to waste my time again... call someone who cares!
These people have been calling me for more than six months, ever since my former boyfriend was killed in an accident. We at one time owned a house together, but we had no credit cards or other debt together. Thank goodness. I have never spoken to them in person, but they leave messages on my home phone and my cell phone, usually within minutes of each other. They have begun to make threats about my house, and statements that I need to "take care of my obligations". I have NO obligations to these people. Tomorrow I am seeing an attorney to take care of this matter. Enough is enough.
