I have received about five of these calls in the last few weeks. They state a return call needs to be made by me or my attorney taking care of this issue. If not they are moving forward with wage garnishment. They do not reference what this is about only a fake file number. I have looked at my credit report and there is nothing on there with a significant amount to indicate they would go to these lengths. A couple of utility bills i am paying off and that is it. These guys are scammers! Do NOT give them any money! They told me original documents would be in the mail, I have seen nothing. The economy is not in a mess because people do not pay their debts, the economy is in a mess because we have a president who gives our money away when we have none and takes a vacation every other week!
First of all. This company is not fraud, and if you are reading this, obviously there is going to be a ton of NEGATIVE comments from people who DONT PAY THEIR BILLS.
To continue, if a company calls, and has your name, social, address, and phone number, you SHOULD be concerned as to what they are calling about. Obviously they have your info and if it was a fraud company, then you should be deeply concerned and look further into it. IE contacting the original creditor to confirm that company is the one that holds all rights, title, and interest. SECOND creditors DO NOT have to state on your Credit Bureau that you owe on a debt. They have to pay the credit company to make it show up on you CBR, so just because it is not there does not mean the debt does not exist. Its simple, get proof. Once you have, pay your bills. Someone above claims our country is 'just fine'. I have never laughed so hard in my life! Our country is not fine, and people saying they can pay bills they know they never will, is one things that makes it worse. So simply get as much information from the company thats calling you as possible. If you claim to not owe a debt then show proof. If you dont think you will face legal action, then sit back, do nothing, and whatever happens happens.
Actually talked to a person. Said he was Ed Carter from World Wide Associates. left number and file number for daughter to call him back. If they really wanted to get in touch with her they could find her easy.
I received a call from Todd Shaw from this number and asked him to repeat his name and give me his number. He implied that I owed thousands of dollars to HSBC and Citibank and he wanted to know what I was doing to resolve this before they served me at my office - call came to my office. He had my middle initial wrong, my birthdate, my SSN and town(s) I lived in. I did not offer the correct information as I was suspicious. He said "he would inform his investigators they had the wrong person and I would never hear from him again".
