Well ladies and Gents I also worked at HP Locate which was most definitely a legitimate business!! First of all the business started only 2 years ago so they are actually still workin out a few kinks. BUT as far as the work that was done, Just because u feel like its harassment Does Not mean it is!! There are rules and protocols that are followed! If they said you couldnt call friends, relatives, neighbors, etc.... then we wouldnt have! As for the agent who called at 2am That 1 agent was wrong and im more than sure fired! That was 1 person who broke the rules not the entire company. This Erik R person was standing up for the company in the first post when he was still working there, but it seems like after u lost ur job is when u got on here and started down talking the company? STILL UPSET HUH? LOL! Get over it! And as was said they have the right to call whom ever is listed in the national database as a possible contact for the person they r looking for. Every1 does not always update their information so if you receive a call thats for some1 u dont know simply tell them that. I dont know that person please dont call me again. Simple as that! But at the same time with my experience when i was there im sure i spoke with over 100 people who said they were not the person we were looking for but in fact were. When this happens guess what we have to invalidate your actual number and try to get in contact with u thru others. And for the fam and friends who want to be nosey and find out what it is before actually helping out make it harder on us and themselves. WE CAN NOT RELEASE ANY1S PRIVATE INFO TO JUST ANY1! THAT IS Y THEY HAVE TO VERIFY THAT THEY ARE SPEAKING WITH THE CORRECT PERSON. HP Locate is simply a Locating company not a debt collector. They locate people, Thats the damn job!! Heritage Pacific is the company that HP Locate comes from and they are the actual collectors. Do ur homework!!
have been receiving calls and msgs from a company called HP Locate, they leave @ least 2 voice mails a day and call @ least 5 times...they have even called my brother. The msgs state they are a private investigator and need me to contact them within 24 hours. After googling the company, come to find out they are a fraudulent collection agency who try to scam people to pay on delinquent mortgages (my mortgage is current) or people who have walked away from their homes. I have purchased a cool application for my blackberry that blocks these phone #'s...but they haven't stopped calling yet, the app just drops their call:)
Have been receiving phone calls from this company atleast 2x a day every day for the last week. They are looking for a person with same last name. They said that they are not a collection agency. When I asked the name of his company? He said HP Locate, out of Dallas, TX. He said he has important info that he needs to pass onto the person he's looking for. I told him "no relation." I Googled the company and found this: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-469-341-0107
received call, questions regarding family members etc would not answer any of ours
It was bad enough to get these calls on a land line now on the cell? To much where has our privacy gone?
Makes you want to never talk to anyone ever
I got a call from this guy asking for my mom. I have handled calls for my mom since 1 was young so i kno when its a company. The guy ( Hyme Diaz he said which sounds fake) told me he need to contact her and something about a private investigator... then i heard beeping the whole time so i knew i was being recorded... it seemed wierd so luckily i gave him no information bc he wouldnt tell me his info... glad i know it fraudulant.
Funny because I got the exact same call from the guy asking for my mother. I wouldn't give them any information. I am trying to figure otu who these people are.
