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 just recieved a call from this number as well telling me it is very serious and she must speak with my retained attorney within the hour. I have had calls like this before from Bass and Associates out of Florida and I believe it was the same woman today.
I received a call today at 10:00am from Hilary Romano. She stated that I owe 763.93 by 3pm today before she goes into her court meeting or I will be processed for Misappropriation of funds and something else. When I asked her what this was in regards to she said a online payday loan that was given to me in Oct 2006. I stated that I remember taking out a loan and I was sure it was paid, however I did not remember the name of the company that sent the loan as it was two years ago. I asked her if she could send me a detail of WHO this was to, along with all of the information she has then I would talk to the bank and verify whether this was paid. She said I should already have the info and she is having me processed. Can I really be arrested for something like this?
Teresa,
There is NO attorney by the name of "Elizabeth Latimore" licensed in the State of Georgia...or in any other State, for that matter. I checked with the State Bar Association, and confirmed this.
This is just another desperate ploy by a bunch of desperate criminals (such as these), to get money out of you...anyway they can. They are financially, morally and ethically BANKRUPT.
