A guy called, said he was from DMV, asked to speak with my roommate about a claim and advised that she or her lawyer should call him at 813-384-2909 , said his name was Robert Powers. Figured it was a scam or something.
The guy who called from this number asked for Marsha. Did not believe that he called the wrong number, and was extremely rude. If he is from a collection agency, he really deserves our collective pity since he appears to be not fit for a decent, self-respecting job. Not that I have anything against collection agencies as they have an economic role to play in our society. It's just that some collection agencies hire people you wouldn't want to be your neighbor.
I received a call several times from Robert Powers and Amber from 866-660-1627 all threaten a law suit if I did not settle an account for a unnamed client even by asking me to pay them off by putting it on a credit card. It is distressing to know what lengths this P & G outfit will take to get personal information.
I reported it to my cc company and closed the account which they have flagged about P& G.
These guys operate on many different phone numbers so, watch out!
I got a call from Robert Powers too & luckily for my wife, who he was calling in reference too, I use to be in collections & know the laws for my state. He was rude & that's one thing, but when he made the mistake of threatening her by "reporting" her & trying to bully her, he made a fatal collections error. As he made the mistake of threatening & bullying in a message on our home phone. So I contacted an attorney friend of mine & now Mr. Powers & his collection firm have been sued for the balance of the account he was attempting to collect on. So her delinquent account is paid in full. As an fyi, collectors do not have legal rights, can not threaten or bully you, & you have the legal right to record all incoming conversations to your home phone. Learn your rights & the law & don't get pushed around by the bullying collectors.
