These are some sort of scam operation. They have an address from about 5 years ago & say I ordered 10-15 magazines & now they are collecting. Never happened! I usually don't answer & they leave no message.
I got tired of the multiple calls and finally called the 800 number for them. I told them I've had this number for 7 yrs and there isn't an (Name omitted for privacy) here and that I wanted to be removed from their list. I was transferred to a very polite gentlemen, who told me that I was on an automatic dialing list. I may receive additional calls today, but I shouldn't receive any further calls. Hope this helps.
I get calls from this person and before was getting them from another so called collection agency. When I request proof of the original debt from these companies, I only get a statement from them that looks like it was made up off a computer program. They have never sent me actual proof from an original creditor. It is usually a credit card debt they say I owe even though I have never had a credit card before.
What a lot of these collectors do is to buy old, possibly charged-off debts and try to collect for themselves. When the debt is about to expire then it is resold to someone else and then it starts all over again. Apparently there is no time limit, they can keep passing a debt around and hound you about it for the rest of your life.
This number keeps calling us AFTER 9 PM! They are looking for someone named Oscar Hughes and we don't know anyone by that name. We have told them MULTIPLE times that we have no idea who that person is and that they obviously have the wrong number, yet they continue to call and it's almost always after 9 PM! It must be a collection agency. I am now reporting them to the FCC.
