Okay guys, this is how I got them to stop calling me: I called this number after hours and left a message on their voice mail asking them not to call me anymore. I also told them that if they continue to call me at work or at home that I would be forced to take further action against them. So far they have not called me anymore.
This company called and when I requested that they send me a letter explaining what they wanted, that I wasnt giving any info over the phone, the caller named Jill, continued to talk and threaten me. I told them that I wouldnt discuss it on the phone and they needed to send me information regarding this matter. She used my statement to continue to talk but not answer any of my questions. She threatened to call my employer. She called my ex-father-in-law who's been my ex for 10 years, called my ex-sister-in-law and my neighbor. She gave them personal information about me. She called my house 5 times in 3 hours and my cell phone 2 times in in the same 3 hours. My ex-father-in-law called my ex-husband who called this Jill person. She asked him if I was sane. EXCUSE ME? How is that relevant? That question is completely inappropriate. I finally called my local police department to file a report for phone harassment. The officer who came called the company and requested they stop calling. I spoke to Sebastian, Jill's super, who told me that my ex-relatives and neighbors were on a list of known associates and they had every right to call them. If the person they called requested they not be called again, the company supposedly will take them off the list. He claimed that some of the people he called said they werent surprised that I had a collection agency after me. Excuse me??
When he was finished drilling me, I attempted to get him to hold so the officer could talk to him again. He hung up. The officer called him back and requested that he stop calling me, that the only information I wanted was in writing. The officer said he couldnt write a report but that he could make a note in his records and that if the company continues to call me, he could write a report for phone harassment.
I have never heard of tactics like this. I am completely appalled that a company would act like this. Do I have no recourse at all??
Someone calling from 312-224-8683 left a message at 5:38 a.m. that my husband was being sued. We live in Oregon.He is listed in the phone book by his first initials. They referred to him as Ronald H------. That is not his first name. Two years ago the same people calling from Chicago did the same thing. I e-mailed the direct attorneys office and gave them all the details. The calls stopped.
I found out the same information. My caller said that there was a civil claim filed against me and I was named as respondent. They said if me or my attorney did not call back, further litagation would follow. Seems strange that all of these calls seem to have taken place in May and June of 2009. Makes you wonder, if this is a legit collection agency, where were they before last month? Why are they using this tactic on people who have no statements or bills from them? Why are they calling jobs and neighbors and using intimidation? Lets see if any of these summons ever get served. I suspect they won't. I did contact an attorney in my state (CA) and he contacted the agency and said he believes it is a scam... so everyone be careful.
