I DID A PHONE # SEARCH. THEY ARE CALLED "NEW CONCEPTS" AND DO CALLS FOR A VARIETY OF COMPANYS. IN MY CASE IT WAS DUKE ENERGY. PHONE #704-788-2189, 704-707-7442, 704-707-0442.
I had a final bill with Duke Energy and that apparently is what this company does. They handle delinquent Duke Energy power bills. They are not Duke but a company contracted by them. I was very skeptical at first of who was calling( I did screen myself) but then on the next call I admitted it was me and they explained the whole thing. Collection agencies legally cannot give out any personal info to anyone and by law can only saw it is a personal business matter. The guy I talked to actually explained their rules to me. Would you want people just telling everyone that you owe bills? Didnt think so.
Got a call from them last week. I did not answer but they left a message. Then I got mail the other day for the person they were asking for. Have no clue who they are. I find it very odd since we just moved here and the number they called is a private cell number. I will be keeping an eye on this.
I received a call on home phone, only rang 2 times could not get to it. Then rang on cell phone and couldn't get to it fast enough, left no message. Googled the # saw that it could be Duke Energy and I called them at 1-800-777-9898 and founf out it was an automated call referring to my cut off date on April 23. I called and asked why no message was left and was told it was a recorded message, Duh,
Got a call from this number and it said to hold for the next available person. I don't stay on the phone for things like this. If it is Duke, they have no reason to call. I have autopay so they get their money every month. I've had this cell number for over 3 years, so if they are calling for someone else they have problems. Won't answer it next time to see if they leave a message.
