This number has been calling my home line for almost 2 weeks now. I keep telling them they have the wrong number and they continue to call me at all hours. I answered the phone again today to make sure they were asking for the same person and I once again told them they have the wrong number and to stop calling. He said he has never called before and I said people from your company have and it needs to stop. I said to take my number off their list and he said they don't have a list. He got VERY rude. I am going to see if I can report this to anyone.
This is a scam. They're reading from a spreadsheet. They called her for my brother John (and my phone is in another brother's name because I'm a female and I was living alone with a small son for a long time). They told him that he owed a debt to MUD from 5 years ago. $65.00.
Right off the bat they asked for a credit card number. Then they asked for a bank account number (how many fools are stupid enough to give them this info I wonder?). He didn't give them anything. If this was legit and if it was from 5 years ago, where are the service charges? Where are the interest fees?
This is MCA (Merchants Credit Adjustors). I called and 'Yvette' didn't whispered the company name to me.
They're desperate and whatever it is that they're up to, it sure isn't kosher and I highly doubt if its legal.
Although these other calls sound very unprofessional, they were not rude to me in anyway. I've never had debt collectors calling me but they had our wrong address so I wasn't getting the bill and was unaware that we owed any money until they called. I was a little suspicious as from what friends call me bill collectors usually have 800 numbers so I called the hospital that we went to around the date that the bill says (when we finally got it). They verified that the company that we finally got the bill from was a legitiment company that comes to the hospital to do X-Ray's, MRI's and other things and that it would be ok to mail a check to them. If you have doubts call the place they are telling you that you owe money and verify with them what you owe for. I still wouldn't give them your credit card info or anything like that.
Much like the previous person, I was suprised to get a call from a debt collector as I always pay my bills. Apparently the people that I owed the bill to had my address wrong so I never received a bill from them. The representative from MCA was courteous and gave me directions to their office to pay in person. The company is legitimate.
