Received a voicemail while I was at work. When I checked it, the message was so garbled, I could barely tell why they were calling. All they said was that they were calling regarding a subpoena to appear in court, and to return their call. Very confused, I did so. I got bounced around before being transferred to the woman "Darlene Waters" that called me. She said my account had been transferred to Finalization and she would transfer me there. (Without ever saying what the account was for) Upon being transferred, I was told that my account was being sent out in the morning. I finally was told that it was for an overdrafted account with US bank from 2010. I had paid this debt (which I didn't believe I owed at that time either, but paid to get debtors to stop harassing me, and so I could open a checking account somewhere else) in 2013. I'm certain I paid it, since I wouldn't have been able to open a checking account without doing so. When I asked what sent out meant, they said it would be transferred to court for judgment for garnishment of wages. When I stated I had already paid it, they asked me if the account number I paid on had 2444 in it. I said I didn't know the account number. I was told to call them back once I had proof of payment. (Although he refused to tell me how much longer he would be there)
I verified that it has been paid, and returned their call. I told them I had proof it was paid, and he asked what the account number was. I asked him what the account number they had listed was, and asked why I had never received mail correspondence of this debt. I was then placed on hold. When they came back to the phone, they said "how can I help you?" I said I didn't know, they were the ones who had placed me on hold. I asked again for the account number, and was told the file was in the office of Mrs Waters, who had "just left" I asked how they had had my information when I spoke with them earlier, and they knew I would be calling back. They stated again that the file was in her office, and I would have to call back in the morning. When I asked how they got the debt, they said they got it from the bank (not true) then quickly told me to fax my proof of payment over to them at the phone number I called, and that it would go directly to that person's email. I asked how that was possible when the number I called was automated and I had to be transferred, and he said "that's just how it works" and hung up on me.
I have contacted US Bank and was advised this company has no affiliation with them and never has in any manner. I was advised the debt was sold off to a different company and that company told me this company who called is a scam and to ask for their collection license to do business in my state. I called today and asked them for their collection license info for New York where I live and was told they don't need one lol a total lie. Not to mention the debt is out of statute too. Check the statute in your state and ask for proof they are licensed in your state. Do not let these low life's pull one over on you.its worth the time to investigate before you fork over your hard earned cash. You have a right to something in the mail don't let the high pressure used car salesman tactics railroad you into paying what you don't owe them.
I had the same problem a couple days ago. It's a fraud. I owed money to my old U.S. bank I already paid it and I just called the lady I dealt with and she said don't answer their calls and turn them in
They called asking for my husband. A lady named Mrs waters, who was very rude said my husband needed to call them back asap regarding a litigation. I told her he was at work & that i would give him the message, but she still.kept calling me, as if i was lying. I told her i was going to report them to the attorney general!
This company called me under prolific /acquisition now litigations I'm wondering if they are working together very harassing. Tiffany Johnson was her name. After I talked to her at end of call she said I was being recorded (isn't that illegal). She was very threatening.
