Have received occasional calls from this # recently. Sometimes just appears on caller i.d., sometimes a rep. leaves a voice mail - indicating caller's name, the company (CRA), a spouting a "file" number of several digits and requesting a call back. Of course, I ignore completely. I was divorced several years ago, and had my attorney handle everything. Any debts, both then and now, were very few, all current, and small. Either they are calling me from mistaken identity, or it is possible my lawyer let some minor item “fall between the cracks,” but even if latter, if there WERE anything, it would be small, and way beyond any time period for legitimate collection. These folks buy old debt portfolios for a few ‘s ¢’s on the $’s, and then auto dial hundreds - even thousands - of calls, and a live rep. will get on-line if a live persona answers - then try to coax or threaten that individual to pay something. A couple of collections from many, many calls can be profitable. Apparently, when their live rep. gets on a line, other calls answered live will go untended, which is why nobody is there. Sometimes they make a call with live rep., who may leave a voice mail, as they did to me today. But whatever, ignore these weasels, because even if an item is old, or misidentified, giving them details, answering questions, etc. - I’m told - CAN result in possible restoration of collectibility, or at least, get you involved in a tiresome dialogue with them. So always ignore completely.
These people have been calling me every morning for about a week. They call themselves CRA say its an important call that needs my immediate attetion but never state what the heck its about. They also state that I dont know the gravity of my situation. Anyone ever hear of them before?
It is a company called CCR (Credit Collection Recovery I believe) They have been sold an old debt that is over 7 years and will threaten anything. Ignore the call, don't respond, they will give up.
This is an old old debt collector. Do not deal with them They threatened my friend with the irs( I know how stupid) and gave her no info and told her they didnt have to. just double talk and threats. Then said a company and she hung up. Chances are the debt or whatever it is about to be taken off credit report. The debt was more that 8 years or nine years old that she new of.
