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.
this person called and asked for someone i didnt know , and asked if i can give them info for them about this person for personal buisness and they also said we used to live together . i dont know this person i told them ( which is true ) . is this something i should worry about ?
If you do not pay your bills they will take you to court and sue you (my uncle is a lawyer he said the company they are collecting for can do that you signed a contract with them)!!! this collection agency is your last chance to get something worked out before it gets to that point thats why they are trying to get a hold of ppl so badly. Luckily my bill was small i got it paid off fairly quckly and the debit was not reported on my credit report. they called the # that i had signed up with on the card(maybe the reason yur getting calls from them and you don't know the person is that person had the # before just calmly explain that you don't know who their looking for they should take it off that person's file) A bunch used to call me when i got my # changed andthey we're looking for this girl i didn't know, one lady said this girl gave the # as a home # but it was a wile ago so it might be wrong she asked if i knew her i told her no i had my # changed, she admitted she thought maybe she was my room mate or something she sd thank you for letting me know i'll take it off her file i never heard from that company again...i think they are just running down all the phone # that they have and trying to get a hold of person
hope you can benifit from my situations!:-)
