I received repeated calls from this number, and they hung up when I answered every time. I finally called them back and spoke to a very rude woman who said she worked for "Performant." This company - Performant Recovery (previously called Diversified Collection Services or DCS) - is located in California and apparently uses spoofed telephone numbers to make you think the call is in-state. She hemmed and hawed when I asked why they hung up each time they called. She told me to never call their number again, after I told her I would report "Performant" if they ever called me again! A really pleasant company bent on harassment, plain and simple.
I returned a call to the number 336-818-3099 when I asked who they were they lady stated she couldn't tell me unless I was the person she was calling for so I advised her not to call my number anymore. Now she is calling my grandmother's house phone.
Ask them to send a copy of the loan amount that they became owner of the contract... then tell them after that you will figure out how much you can pay to become honorable again... and how much you will agree to pay of the new acquired debt of theirs... LOL
