called my cell phone 10/26/09 7:24PM WHEN I CALLED BACK IT BELONGS TO AMERICREDIT. I have no debt as i live at home, so i will report that company as I am listed on the do not call list.
Someone called me from this number today asking me for information about a friend of mine. I asked what is this about? They told me it was for a credit reference and asked me to verify his phone #, where he worked, and his address. He has used me as a job refererence before but I was hesitant to give them any info. I called him and he said he had not applied for any credit or jobs lately.
The company is Americredit. They do car loans. If someone you know used you as a reference when they got their car loan, and they get behind on payments, the company will call you. They called me and said that my sister had listed me as a reference. I opened up a little to much because I thought it was for a job or something. Now that I admitted who I am, they call non-stop. There are numerous complaints on the internet about this company's collection practices.
These people called and left a msg looking for my dads brother who I don't even speak to. I don't even have the same last name as him so how they connected me to him, I don't know? I called back and left them a msg stating that they are never to call me again. This is really ridiculous that I'm being harassed by collections for my astranged uncle!
