Interesting....I got calls simultaneously on my cell phone and my landline. Neither left a message, so I do not know who it is. I suspect it is from the leftover medical expenses from my husband's emergency surgery --- no job = no money....anyone in the same boat?
Capital Accounts out of Nashville, TN - They are a collection agency - I did owe the amount they started so I paid it. No threats or anything like that but he did say at first that they had called me a number of times (like 15 to 20 times) and that I had never answered. BUT, I did answer this number and another number they use 606-262-4728, and now that I see these numbers, I realize how sneaky they are - when I answered, it is always dead air. No one was ever on the other line, and I always hung up.
So as I was talking to the CSP, (who is just doing his job) and he said they tried contacting me - I countered with "Do you answer phone calls from unknown numbers?" - He said he didn't. And then I said, that neither of these numbers come up under Caller ID and he said that is because they are a collection agency....that they are highly regulated now. Fine. Then he said he would clear my Credit Report (all three agencies) within 6 weeks, but for them to do that, he would have to charge me a $5.00 service fee. After we were all done, he said he could clear my name and my credit. Not for a second do I believe them.
I got simultaneous calls too! I answered one, it was dead air, but the other one had a live person for a change. Mine is also leftover medical expenses from a scheduled surgery, but like you, I lost my job and we are living lean. I paid this off cuz it was a small debt.
