They have repeatedly called my number. A recording says they have an uncollected debt and that they are a collection agency. They refer to my name and a value amount of a debt. I don't have a debt such as they describe so I just hang up.
I just got a call from an Adriana somebody today April 21st, 1009. It gave me options to say if home but not avial, press 1, or if not there, on my cell phone, but I think somethings up, my cell phone is now doing things by itsefl. I'd like to see if people are getting calls on cell or home phones? There are companies that record and then send text msgs to phone and you have to 'unsubscribe' or it charges you, don't ever give out your cell number along with your carrier on anything including job boards, all scammers, and they can make money of the unwanted text msgs, and you have to send a special keyword to unsubscribe even if you haven't it's buried in the txt msg somewhere. Look at all unwanted spam text msgs, cause at least at home on internet you are not getting charged. So a report about this and a federal investigation into a large company doing this. Beware. Otherwise, people looking for debtors use skip trace and will link anything to find these people, they don't care, like if they walked out on a car loan or mortgage, the will trace names all of the U.S. even if never at that phone and address and name variations, it's very unerving, but I know due to working for a company where their collection dept. did this.
yep rickenbacker, I checked my credit report and found a car I had sold 4 yrs ago has been in an impound yard, I called the yard ( 310 314 4040 )and they of course gave me some raw jaw, and I called ricnbacker and went round with them so now?
Lets get it straight? at this risk of sounding like a racist? I sold the car to a person from south of the border okay? this white guy aint payin the middle eastern tow yard owner.Catch my drift here?
I get these calls that no one answers to like the rest of you here, it is a form of harassment to be sure, any one want to file a class action suit?
I also sold a car to a guy who turned around and resold it to two guys who got it impounded and then the tow people sold it and then claimed that I still owned it. They put $785.00 on my credit report as an unpaid public debt. I disputed it with the credit reporting agencies, but they said that city records still say that I own it. So they would not remove it. You can send $5.00 to the city to have them record that you sold your car when you sell it. They call me all the time. I have now put them on my phone reject list. These guys are sleazy scam artists.
same deal rickenbacker...they deal in automoive stuff alot like lien sales and impond stuff, in my case? I sold the car to how shall I say it? a brethern form south of the border who did not complete the registration for what ever reason and so the car has sat in impound I guess...I have told them I sold it and they refuse to budge saying dmv sez...I have explained this and they demand I prove it so I tell them to disprove it, and thus the shouting match continues.
They are pretty rude really, they call at 615 am very often, it goes to some sort of auto function till a live person can get on the line I guess.
I consider it a badge of honor for a tow yard to file this against my credit report, I give a rip less, the ironic part is that the rep I have spoken with doesnt come across as an english speaker as a first language to begin with so I figure they know exactly how this plays out and arent interested in tagging the guy who I sold this car to at all. Just knowing dmv is responsible for all this by playing hardball.
