Last night I was yelled at and called names by some guy who works for County Financial. I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT with this company. I was receiving a lot (10-15)of calls weekly from them. I asked them to not call me and was talked to so badly that I felt assaulted. When I called back to speak with a supervisor, I was put on hold and then hung-up on.
They called my cell phone today looking for someone else and left this contact number: 1-800-604-5840 ext 119. I called the number back and explained they were calling the wrong number and they removed me from their phone directory.
This phone number belongs to County Financial Services in Anahiem, CA. They called regarding someone that gave them my name and phone number as a reference. However, my authorization was never given to them verbally or written to be use as a reference. The person that keeps calling and harrasing me said I gave them permission, which is a lie. I asked that my phone number be removed from their file. He stated I do not have the right to remove my phone number, only the person that gave them my number can remove my phone number. At this point I will pursue or legal avenues to stop this harrassment. This is not legal and very unprofessional.
This company will not stop calling me. I do not have a loan or anything to do with this company. They are not trying to reach me, but they will not stop calling me. I have tried to explain to them that they have the wrong number, I have asked them over and over to remove my number, but they continue to call. this needs to stop.
I have received numerous calls from this number despite my repeated requests to never call me again as I have nothing to do with the person responsible for this debt.
