They are a scumbag collection agency that is constantly violating the FDCPA.
They specialize in collecting student loans. The company was started by a pair of queens that were bill collectors. One of their mommies bankrolled the startup and they eventually got on the nipple of the Department of Education with a contract to collect defaulted student loans.
Look up the FDCPA for the things these A$$WIPES are prohibited from doing. Find out also how you can collect $1,000 + legal costs for each of these violations you document. There are many lawyers who love to take these "slam dunk" cases for the fees they can bill Premier.
Premier constanty calls and hangs up (violation); uses spoof phone numbers (violation); will harass you at work (violation); calls your friends neighbors and relatives (violation); will not identify themselves when asked (violation); .. etc, etc ...
You see, they engage in a relentless process of harrassment ... WHICH IS ILLEGAL according to the FDCPA.
They moved their operation recently to a location adjacent to the Indianapolis ghetto, and that's where the vast majority of their low IQ work force heralds from. They fasten these imbeciles to a chair, put a headset on them, shove a script in their mug, ... and start the autodialer. These idiots start reading from the script (if they can) when the dialer makes a hit.
That's the operation .... and, that is who is annoying and harassing you.
Am pretty sure you can sue in your state where you receive the phone call.
You can file online in small claims court if you live in one of these areas http://law.freeadvice.com/resources/smallclaimscourts.htm
This guy has apparently sued telemarketers twice and won both times http://www.killthecalls.com/
Best of luck.
I don't know. There are many lawyers advertising on the internet who will take the case just for the attorney fees the court will award them. Look around.
If they believe you have a good FDCPA case they will handle all that stuff.
Premiere is a real scumbag outfit. I kow of one person that has had his social security attached for 15%, has no money or income other than the SS ... and they still call him 3 & 4 times a day.
That shows you how utterly stupid these morons are.
