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.
This morning they contacted me for the 2nd day in a row.
First Call: 02/07/2011; Voicmail Message from: Christina O'Connor or something like that could not understand. And said to contact her at 877-704-9458 about importatn informaiton.
Second Call: 02/08/2011; Voicemail Message from: Sarah with CRA and asked for me by name on my voicemail and said I need to contact her back or my representative at 877-704-9458
My first call i've had was on Feb 7th at 8:28am, lady was named bobbie and said that she needed me to call her back today or someone who represents me. This call here was odd due to she was messing up when leaving the message and had issues saying what she was saying.
2nd call on Feb 8th @ 9:29am then again at 9:30am finally left a message this time it was Dotti pretty much saying the same thing
They just called and left a threatening message on my cell phone. I don't know who they are, I don't owe anyone money, and will prosecute if I have to. I now have an 800 credit score and if they destroy it --- well --- there are legal remedies. I'm glad I read the above and did not answer the phone.
I recieved a messaged this morning at about 10. This lady claims she is from a company called CRA and made it sound like something serious was going on and that I needed to contact this company immediatelly. I didnt feel right about this so googled this number and found all kinds of information regarding the dishonesty and scamming from this company. Be assured I will not return this lady's call. Debt collectors beware when it comes to me, if you are rude, abusive, and vague dont expect me to go out of my way to pay off any outstanding debt.
