I keep getting calls from them...they are asking for a person with the same name only it's not me they are looking for. I have a very common name, unfortunately. They won't stop calling, even on the weekends! Early or late - anytime of day. They say it's an urgent business matter and that's it. I feel very harassed with the amount of calls I receive.
I got many many phone calls from this number 716-635-9550; this company abused me day and night! I do not know what was business they are doing but make a phone call at midnight while I was getting a rest after tired day is not polite at all !

In May, I received a letter, so I called back. This is a law firm of Cawley and Bergman. The gentleman was very nice, and I agreed to a 50.00 per month payment plan, which was deducted monthly. After 5 months, I got a threatening letter, which I immediately responded to. I received a call from a "Mary", who was rude, crass, and obnoxious, who kept reminding me that my calls were being recorded. I too recorded the call, which I will forward to the New York attorney General. The original debt was only 300.00...this scum company purchases crappy little debts, then calls and threatens legal action. This company has no jurisdiction in my state, which I verified. The original plan was to pay the 50.00 payments, then they would contact me for a settlement amount, which I was led to believe would be a much reduced amount. The "reduction" is 90.00 on a balance doubled due to their fees. They are lower than pond scum, and unfortunately the ONE reasonable "gentleman" that I spoke with is gone. I gave them the best phone number to call me on...they persisted on calling on my home phone, which is in number only, then berated me for "all the messages they left". Again, I don't even have activated voicemail on that line. Unfortunate that this form of highway robbery is permitted, to take a 300.00 debt, and jack it up almost double, then bully a sick woman into making a payment in full for more than the original debt AFTER the 50.00 per month "trial period" as they are now referring to.
And they wonder why lawyers are referred to as snakes....this firm definitely fits that description.
These people are scum bags , they call my home looking for someone that does not live here , then the nasty so called little man wants to get rude with me , you called my house [***] I don't owe you [***] I have no doubt ,why don't you scam bags get a real DAM JOB , you only earn b what you collect from others that's why you like to make threats to try and collect , people be very careful paying any collections agency make sure you have copies of everything , money you paid them and any type of communication with them , I have seen people pay all the doubt off and the collections agency took the money and did not report it was paid off , All they want is your money, try and work the doubt out with the person you owe the doubt to . Oh by the way hang up on them and BLOCK them .
Keep calling for some lying deadbeat that we had never heard of until the liar gave our number as his number for his unpaid debts! We just keep filing FTC complaints reporting this debt collection firm and the other two debt collection firms that call our number hundreds of times a month for the past year looking for the deadbeat liar. The lying worthless deadbeat and these debt collectors who keep calling, even though we are not the deadbeat and do not know him and do not know where to find him, need to be locked in a room with a thousand ringing telephones that harass them from 7:30 a.m. in the morning until 9:15 p.m. at night, calling six times a day some times from just one firm, sometimes three times in five minutes, just like they've done to us. It's to the point that it's not even our telephone any more--it seems to belong to the lying deadbeat and the debt collectors looking for him, as they talk on it more than we ever do. Hundreds of FTC complaints filed, nothing accomplished.
