Isn't hollywood video out of business? I keep getting these calls but never had an account with hollywood video. They never leave messages on my answering machine.
They are trying to collect for supposed videos that were not returned TWO years after they were rented and returned!!! SCAM for Hollywood Video... ALL mine were returned
I answered the call they claim I owe $45 in late fees to them. Since I always paid in cash I have no way of proving what I paid, I asked them to send me a list of what movies they were and when they were rented and they have yet to do it. It has been over 7 years since I rented anything from them and they went out of business. Give it a rest Hollywood Video I don't owe you money! Not even sure how you got my new number!

"IF they do not provide you with the verification of the debt, the debt is invalid and not subject to collection. PAY NOTHING TO ANYBODY UNLESS THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF THE DEBT, AND ONLY THEN IF YOU FEEL THE DEBT IS VALID - otherwise, let them sue you for the debt, as a real law firm will only bring a legal action on a truly valid debt".

Somehow this call comes through from Camarillo Ca. I'm in Calgary Canada. Called everyday now for the last four days, asking for someone who does not own this number anymore. Person I talked to yesterday said they would take this number off their system, but here they come again today. She insists that nobody talked to them about taking the number off.
