these people have harassed us and well scammed us out of $800 so far. I honestly thought if I didn't pay they would take us to court and I did want the dept to grow any further. My husband went on line and found all this info on this place and well now I truly feel ripped off
My experience with Holly Sommers was the same way. One day out of the clear blue, this office calls my parents, wanting to get in touch with me. I called back and talked to *Bill Brown*. He was a pretty nice guy overall, asked a few details. He did know my address, but I confirmed it at least. After he told me what the "amount due" was, I told him it was too high. So he asked me to wait, and put Holly Sommers on the phone. She was like Beelzebub in contrast to Bill Brown, and just started in on a rant about wanting to get SOMEthing from me right away to secure an arrangement. The alleged amount due was like $17,000. Holly slashed that to $9000 {yeah right}. She asked what I could pay immediately, asked if my parents were in the picture. I told her asking for $9 grand just like that would take some time. I wanted to think it over before even paying one percent of what was "due". She demanded my cell phone number but I didn't want to provide it. She said that was "refusing to cooperate", so I just gave her the time and weather phone number. Now they do call me at work but I just have the girls at work hang up on them. Seems to keep them at bay, but no matter what, a useless "debt" from 2001 is the least of my worries. Unless the money Holly collects pays for her food at the end of the day, I don't think she has a leg to stand on calling people like she does. The entire operation is just grasping at straws to find a shred of money for Christmas.
I have been getting numerous phone calls from a Brian Knight from the Law Firm of Laurence Hecker. He said he is calling on a bad debt from GMAC on their behalf. He is very rude and threatening. He said he will find out where I live and I cannot hide from him. The debt is from a car my ex-husband won in our divorce. He agreed to make timely payments and relieve me of all debt owed on the vehicle. This happened 5 and 1/2 years ago. This Brian guy said he has me as the primary borrower, which is inaccurate, and that I must pay this debt or he will find an attorney in my area to sue me, as i live in Michigan and he is from New Jersey. I told him a few choice words and he asked "do you know who I am?", as if to try to scare me. Then he transfered me to a Larry Drew who is supposed to be a credit counselor. He said he wants to help people like me and wants to try to come to an agreement for a monthly payment or a settlement. I googled this law firm and found nothing but complaints, from harassing phone calls to name calling to that this Laurence guy actually lost his law license! The phone calls need to stop. I do not trust these people!
