Just received phone call today. A women left a message on my voice mail. I Could not understand the name or what she said only that we needed call 7484256. When we called the number it was a general voice mail box of noting business hours. No name of the business or who we were calling back.
I got a phone call from this number a few minutes ago at my place of work from Tina Johnson at this number, asked for me by name! Don't know who this person is so I am not calling back! Very irritated they are calling my place of work!
I had same thing, no message just "A Melissa". Since these posts noted a collection agency I figured I would call to make sure . She said is this ******* birthday 3/13/..... I stopped her . No not my birthdate. I guess if they are "looking" for someone they just call everyone in the phone book with that name...... How lovely.
I received a call from Shelby at the same number who NEEDED a return call back. She left a message at my place of employment. According to the 1977 Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they are not to do this.
i just had the same thing happen to me... sme Shelby lady called me and left a msg on my work line. I'm looking into filing a class action suite against this company for violating the FACT act. They are NOT supposed to call your work, especially if they are not sure if they have the correct person. You can avoid this problem by opting out of whats known as "soft pulls" on your credit report. You can opt out for 5 yrs online.... just google opt out prescreen and it should be one of the first links. BUT make sure it says "opt out prescreen" to make sure you dont get the wrong website.... just to protect your identity. Check back to get updates on the law suite.
