WATCH OUT FOR THESE CRIMINALS....! I worked at this company and everything they do there is illegal. They purchase all of this debt and pay the collectors 20% per payment. They tell us to represent ourselves under false aliases and threaten check fraud by reciting the laws that govern the state that the debtor tive in. We used to refer to ourselves as "investigators" and pending warrants on every debtors answering machine, and threated to issue a summons by a local sheriff through the magistrate court. They are CLEARLY breaking the law. If they call you DO NOT PAY THEM...GET A RECORDER AND SUE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE WORTH!!!!
Great. Now we have employees of the company masquerading as "deadbeat" debtors. "Any ideas to how I can just make this go away?" Your kidding, right? Just go back to making phone calls, because you are not impressing anyone here.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Paying bills = GOOD
Giving out money and personal information to scary voices on the phone with no proof of debt = BAD
This same situation happen to my boyfriend. He recived a number from 404-249-1099 at his mother from some guy who said he had a warrant for an unpaid debt. He tried to keep it secret but when the story came out it kid of seemed strange to me. Thsi man had my boyfriend scared and he is far from a punk!!! So when he expressed to me that he really was worried about the stiuation as was sounding scared and sad i went off! I knew the debt was not a legal issue for example a fine from court because they told him it was a pydayloan. So i called the number back shook up the 18 year old operator by asking him all kind of question. I got him so darn good he began to studder really bad. To the point where he couldnt even speak. I asked him questions like are there officer inthe buliding who can serve warrents, if so let me speak to one. NEGATIVE!!! He said there where people there who could do such a thing but they werent cops! I notice he kept trying to get me off the phone to a agent who knew more but i wanted to find out by a rookie because they'll tell it all. I figured out that the warrent officer was actually the "agent" who where calling with the lies. After i finally realize this was some kind of scam i let him connect me to a agent. I could tell the difference from the stupid operator off the top. She triend not to answer any questions at first. I cursed her every name in the book! And threaten if they called again they would answer to me, the judge, and a lawyer!!! It was funny because instead of hanging up on me she keep trying to explain her self and keep asking for a account number. If the called again they'll wish they havent!!! I couldnt stand to see my boyfirend worried sick like he was.....
