I just received a call at work (came through the switchboard) from someone I think he said his name was James; claiming he was from the Chicago Citibank branch. He said he was calling about a mastercard that that has a "refuses to pay" on the acct? He stated a last name that sounds very much like mine -polish and not common. He asked if that was me; he also had my first name. I said no and that I didn't have a mastercard acct and what concerned me was how peculiar all this was. He asked if I knew anyone in Lake Forest b/c they were giving out my "info"? After I read the number 847-741-7841 back to him on the caller id - the call was disconnected. I called the nubmer back and it's busy busy busy. Do not take this statement offensive, this is just to help out, but I know the voice was older / african american male and sound very proper but monotone.
Person called asking for someone that I don't know. We just moved in August and got this number...I told them that and they continued to tell me I was who they were looking for. I told them to lose my number and lose it fast...then they told me to shut up. and (not my finest hour)I said "eff you" and he said..."is that what you want?" and then hung up.
Again, not my finest hour but right before this I was on the phone with Sprint about replacing my husband's phone and I was livid with Sprint. I may have ultimately taken it out on these folks but I will not tolerate some stranger calling me and telling me to shut up...
You are an absolute liar. If it got to the point of being with a slug collection agency, IT IS on a credit report.
No 2 ways about itnless it's past the 7 year reporting period that it would heve been on there anyway.
long story, same as what many other people write: forceful, will not say who they are, tell me i'm so and so, when i'm not, ask me my relationship between me and the person who used to live here. a bill collector of some sort. i was so angry. i filed a formal complaint with the FTC. i've called the number back 4 times, busy signal each time.
These people keep calling me repeatedly looking for someone I've never heard of and they won't stop. I've just put a call into their General Counsel, and all of you should do the same. Here's the info:
Frank A. Taylor, President
Joseph M. Van Nest, General Counsel
GC Services
6330 Gulfport Street
Houston, TX 77081
(713) 777-4441
I let the General Counsel's secretary know that I would be calling her several times a day until I heard back from Mr. Van Nest. After all, that's what they're doing to me! :)
