"Debt Collector"?
I got a call from this number, 773-902-1130. Woman identified herself as Gyzette from the Attorney's office of Budzik & Dynia, calling on behalf of Bank of America, attempting to collect on a debt. Something about they being retained by BOA and working on a "Pre-Legal Status". She asked me to pay some astronomical amount of money. I said no, and please prove to me who you are. She said some legalese stuff, then disconnected.
Left me staring at the phone, thinking to myself, "WTF?!?!"
These people are zombie debt collectors. They harass people on debt that they don't owe or is past the statute of limitations. They buy accounts for pennies on the dollar hoping to bully and harass people into paying debt they don't owe or are no longer liable for. The will continue to call forever just block the number or don't pick up. They don't want to go to court with you b/c they know they have no case as the statute is up or your no longer liable. I know people that have gotten these calls and they were in "pre-legal" for 9 months. No legit law firm keeps something that long in pre-legal without actually filing a case against you unless they really don't have a case. They will keep calling however for the entire 9 months. Eventually they get tired and go away as they realize your not a sucker.
Yeah I think it's a debt collector. Give it up these vultures. I didn't pay a CC because I was in Iraq and my wife divorce my [***] after she ran the credit up. Because we were still married and had joint accounts I'm liable for it. I say go to hell and say thank you for your freedom
They called.. left message with operator (me) that they were Budzik & (something).. though their caller ID says UNKNOWN NAME. And that (name) need to call them RIGHT BACK.
