i was called by hillary romano at 800-918-3844 ext 413. i spoke with here she is says this is a debt from 2004. it was from a company called bmg marketing. told her i did not know this company. she said it was for a 200.00 payday loan. then she told me she would refer it back to the orginal company and then hung up on me. i called back and asked her to send me a letter of validation thru the mail and she said she had referred me back to the company for them to take action on me. she said she could fax the letter or she could email. i ask why she could not send throught the mail, she said because the company was already going to go after me. so i asked her to email it to me. she said no. that she had changed her mind and i need a lawyer. so then she told me not to call her office again and then hung up on me. but she did take very loud during the whole conversation and would not let me speak the second time.
I received a phone call from 404-000-4321 Call back number given 1-800-918-3844 and to contact "her" today or have my attorney contact "her" today. For one, I am not calling back someone who can not leave a name, for two, not leaving a reference number or a reason for the call, or three because they were rude leaving the message and basicly left the message as if I were their pet dog and had to listen to their commands.
I will be following up with this matter with the Michigan State Attorney general and the FTC regarding their phone use and language when calling people regardless if they are trying to collect a debt or not. It's uncalled for, for a business to act this way.
States Predisposition Services belongs to the notorious Bass & Associates out of Jacksonville, Florida. They are currently being sued by the Florida State Attorney General's office for 1.3 million dollars for repeated violations of Federal and State laws. They are also being investigated by Georgia officials to determine whether Bass is trying to escape Florida prosecution by moving across the state line to Folkston, Ga.
Called at 1100am today from a Hilary Romano stating that I would be "systemized" into the state of Kentucky for bank fraud. Said I must pay by 12n. The debt I probably do owe, sorta, since my cousin did a lot of this then under my name and personal details. I didn't know about this one, but I would be willing to pay if it's tru. Asked for a debt verification letter and was ignore, she also denied any knowledge of Bass & Assoc or a company call Pre Litigation services! I know that is untrue. Can they really get me arrested?
Got a call from this number on 1/23/08 12:09pm EST. It's a guy with a drunken voice asking whether I was lonely. Did they change the harrasing strategy? Or maybe the rude woman is not home so the husband picked up the phone and started to make stupid phone calls....
