OK so I feel behind on some bills when Husband was out of work due to illness and I lots my job to the house market.... When life settled and we got back on our feet we PAID everything off to whom we owed. In the mean time they were in the process of selling off bad accounts. I proved several times that the bills were paid.. and now I'm getting calls about bills I NEVER had! This number refuses to leave a message and has dead silence when I answer... so now when I see this number I answer it and hit the number 1 key like 20 times then I hang up!
I have been getting spam scam calls for years! Once you get on a list that the crocks pass around there is no way to get off them.... I have a loan I'm paying on and have paid ON TIME and It is almost paid off! I got a call that left a message saying I was going to be arrested at my work place and jailed. That there is a grand jury reviewing my case now! I contacted my lender and they said it was a scam. Their systems had been hacked and only names and numbers were taken. When I gave them the number on the caller ID and the number in the message they said that was numbers being reported. A week later I got a letter from the lender explaining what had happened and that I had to go to the nearest BRANCH in person and update my information as they were transferring all the accounts to new ones cause they could not be sure if more could or was taken. So when I get calls from one area code or 800 and they want me to call back another number I DON'T. This number I answered and after I said hello for the 3rd time an automated message told me to hold they line for the next available agent and that my call was very important to them..... MY CALL - they called me so I hung up.
Really...that is so unfair as you have no clue what another persons affairs are...could be anything at all...just because your so perfect and obviously have no "Problems" going on your life does not mean others don't!!!
I get these calls twice a day. And they keep asking for somebody Ive never heard of. They've got more than 1 number. 323 331 9709. 614-212-5298. Name that comes up. Comenity or Convergent Res. Bill collectors. Let them call. I don't care. Gives my caller ID something to do.
