Call your bank - just in case. You never know what these people will do!! You are correct- demand written notification of the debt MAILED to you (not email, fax or phone calls). They have 5 days to comply.
Michael Tipton called, said I was involved in fraud. I told him I had called the local authorities and reported him and not to call back. Well that worked well he called back from 405-367-0100 nine times in all on 01/28/2011and all are recorded on my caller ID.
All, Weinberg etal (aka WCCI) is now calling from 210-957-8770 or 513-299-0025. Govern yourself accordingly (MY A@@!). I also believe I may have found where they are operating out of. They made the mistake of sending me an "invoice".
i received this same horrifying call today as well...claiming i had an outstanding debt and faced felony prosecution...but being the caution person that i am i did a little bit of investigating myself....if this happens to you start of by calling the original place where you got the loan....explain to them what is going on and they will tell you whom they sold your "debt" to and retrace the steps to make sure that if you are gonna pay this off, that its actually gonna be to the correct debtor. secondly never ever give out any credit card info to anyone who calls you, only when you contact a service provider or business should you share that information. the number i have for them is current as of may 23rd 2011....( 1-512-777-4474) and the name i have delt with IS >>>>>>CARROLL DAVENPORT<<<<< i hope this saves atleast one person from getting taken advantage of...best of luck
