Multiple times over the past couple of weeks I’ve received a phone call from this number from an “investigator” Bolton purporting to be looking out for my best interests and wanting to “work with me” to resolve a matter of fraud and some debt I owe. She goes on to leave me her number with requests that I call her by a certain time “that day” to keep the matter from going further.
The calls come into my home number, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the early afternoon and her deadlines are always like “4:00 PM” or “5:00 PM”. Like many people who work, I’m not at home from early morning until usually 6 PM or later…I’ve returned her calls in the evening after returning home and ALWAYS get her voice mail. Despite my telling her that I’m not available to take or make personal phone calls at the time of say she calls, the calls continue to come in with the ridiculous time frame for me to respond.
Aside from my mortgage and student loans (all of which are current) I don’t owe anybody anything and I know I’m not involved in any “fraud”. I also know that anytime a debt collector starts using “scary/official sounding” titles and demanding return calls by a certain time of day, you are almost certainly dealing with either 1) a scam artist or 2) an debt collector that cares NOTHING about federal or state laws regarding such matters…in either case, they aren’t people you want to deal with.
My solution was to block their number…if they want to file a civil action against me then they can do so…if not, they can bite my ankle.
I got the same phone today advising that I owed for an online payday loan taken out in 2005. I asked for proof of the loan and the amounts. The phone call started off nice until she realized I had no intention of giving her money over the phone and without concrete proof. She talked over me and was horribly rude. Told me that she was turning me over today and I would get a summons out to my house. I said fine....go right ahead. What pisses me off is that she called and worried my elderly father who is recovering from a heart attack. I called my local PD and spoke to an investigator who is looking into the possible scam. When and if he finds out anything, I will gladly post it.
You are a f**king idiot who probably is part of this scam. If that is so, your days of running scams are numbered. There are too many people that have complained to the right people. Why not get a real job like the people you are harassing.
I have received several harassing phone calls from "Chief Investigator Bolton" for a loan that is dated 2005. I have paid this loan back in full and have all documentation proving it EXCEPT my paid in full letter from the debt collection agency i paid the money to. Only because i cannot get in touch with them - they either do not answer the phone or do not return my messages. I have since disputed it with the credit bureaus, as the creditor still has not bothered to report it to my credit report that i have done my duty and repaid my debts. This lady has threatened me, harrassed me, and falsely accused me of fraud and furthermore will NOT accept any proof from me stating that i have paid the debt in full.
I work for a huge litigation firm in Dallas, Texas and will be taking further action against this bogus woman and her "law firm" as well as the reporting agency and company that "filed the charges against" me. I will also take all necessary action to be heard in the state of Georgia where this place of "business" is located. I wonder how this woman sleeps at night. and to the idiot posting above, what do you have to say now? i've taken responsibility for my actions and paid my honest hard earned money back!
