These people are total jerks.. I recently got a new phone number, and I'm getting phone calls for a person who I'm guessing owned this number before.. I called to get the number removed, and the man hung up on me and said he wouldn't remove it. I called back and told him to not hang up on me again, and to take me off the list. He said have a good day MA'AM and hung up again. I wish I could punch him through the phone.
They called about a hospital bill I owed on which proves nothing more than the fact they got ahold of my SS. My parents got in a car accident and I was a passenger. They never payed the bill. I asked them if I could have an address so I could pay payments thinking it was legit. The guy told me he would prefer to keep the address private and told me if I had a credit card, it's preferable I pay with that. I told him I'd call back later that week. My dad called the next day from his #. The guy "Carlos" answered and asked who it was and said he was busy with a patient. A creditor with a patient??? That's fishy. My dad told him who he was and said he would talk to him later and then he hung up. Wtf? I'll be calling the hospital to see who actually has my account now. I don't think they're legitimate.
