Called in the morning. Left no message, although my voicemail message says callers who don't leave messages are never responded to. I will put their number in my address book with I.D. "Don't Answer" and my special ring tone for only "Don't Answer" calls.
They keep calling me asking if I live in such and such address. Also they mentioned that they want to deliver documents. I dont know who they are and what they want. Ive searched the number and they are not listed as business.I think they are steeling identities. BE AWARE of THEM!

These are those type of debt collecters that buy old debt from anywhere and everywhere and then use their own tactics to try and collect on it. Unless you receive a subpoena, IGNORE! If you respond at all the statute of limitatons on the debt can start over, so DON'T answer, speak to them or verify your identity. There are TONS of collection agencies that use this same sort of story or script. They call wanting to verify an address so they can drop off documents or send something to you, etc(many times they say they are private investigators or private locators) they will even tell you they are bringing you a summons to go to court(that way you will pay them to settle outside of court) but please do not fall for this. if nothing else...a process server will NEVER NEVER call you ahead of time to threaten to come to your house, that just makes their job harder! They just show up! So these guys aren't "fraudulent" per say, just a low level collection agency trying their luck on old, bad debts. Unless they sue you, you don't have to pay, or speak to them.
