Why are you even on here? This is for people that get calls - apparently you don't get calls from these people or either work for the stupid company. Get a life!
I just got a call from a Jamie Moore that called from this number. She wanted to talk to me in regarding another person that doesn't live with me. I know them - but what does THEIR bills have to do with ME? Why do they even have my freakin phone number? I sure as hell not going to answer the phone call - especially when it isn't even about me. They didn't say who they were - but it was a Muncie number and then I looked online and saw it was Atlas collections - leave me alone - I don't owe you SH**!@
I hate to admit it but i work collections and yes, sadly we too get collected on. I had a few outstanding medical bills when they first called. Being a collector I happen to know all the fair debt laws and laws for phone collections. First law they break: when you ask for the name of the company that has called your phone, the Better Business Bureau requires they identify their company. As I know and some of you have mentioned they refuse to do that. The second illegal thing they do is start spitting out ur going to be sued and all of the debtor information. First thing they have to do is verify at least 2 pieces of information by having you reverse verify (tell them the info yourself) but instead if you ask them they will give you all of that information if you just say (and I said this word for word) yeah I might be the person you're looking for and they gave me address, other known numbers, ssn, and debt amount. Asked them for the dob and they had given me that too. I then went to say I wasn't that person but since they gave me all that info, i'd get a hold of that person for them. And they still continued to say I needed to pay the bill. I decided to call the hospitals my sled and pay them and completed my last payments to them last year, yet I still received a call from them saying none of those were paid. Can you say class action lawsuit? I can.
I received a message to call back Ms. Lee no was reason given I was told just to call back just call back . The number when I looked it up with reverse phone number checks was listed as unpublished ... However when I called them with a blocked number I was told I had reached Atlas Collection in Muncie Indiana.
I do not know how they got mu number nor do I know why they were bothering me. I did call the better business bureau to complain.
I also tried to explain to "Ms.Lee" that if she would run my information she would plainly see I am NOT a 78 year old women who is being sued by Ball Hospital because of my hip replacement. I guess they don't have HIPPA laws huh? It took months and about $1700.00 to a Lawyer to get this matter revolved and off my credit. And when we were finally done did any one say oh we are so sorry for putting you through this? NO I was told it was my fault I should have paid my bill ????? What bill I am way to young for a hip replacement I hope she never pays for her hip they deserve it !
I think that all of this could have been avoided when I went to their office to take my information in you can look at me and tell I am in no way near 78. The office was dirty as were the people they just looked trashy like they did not care about you or anything else !!!
All this because our names are similar as are our SSN'S some one could have helped (maybe they can't read I am just guessing on that )
And to Py your Bill I pay mine I refuse to pay someone elses!
