Recieved a call from David Murphy from this number at my work. I was unavailable so a message was taken for me. I had no idea who it was and thought it had something to do with my work, the number that was left for me to call back was 1-800-215-6862 I called and left a polite message. When he called me back I asked what I could do for him. He said well you called me. At this point I explained he called me first and I called him back and he then interupted and said " and here we are" I again asked what I could do for him. He started spouting off peoples names and private information to me over the phone (names adresses and other personnal info) and I had to stop him and say what does this have to do with me or my work place. He said "your a client of ours arent you?" I said "I don't have a clue who you are or what this is about" He said "oh I'm sorry I have the wrong info on my computer, can you call me back in five minutes so I can have the correct info on my screen to talk to you about?" I just hung up the phone at that point.
They keep calling my mother about this debt . I have talked with a legal service and the lawyer told me that i am un-collectabel because I am low income. I spoke with a rep to stop the calls and now they call my mother.
in addition and reply to ec...
it is against the law for them to even contact you're contact person. it is also against the law for them to contact you outside of normal business hours OF THE TIME ZONE THEY ARE CALLING TO NOT FROM.
You can also send cease and desist letters via fax if your sending machine can print verification of send.
I received a call from MARY ANN SMITHE for my daughter's ccard and when I recognized the name - already sent a cease and desist letter via FAX and certified mail. Anyway, I asked her if this was a bill collector she responded it's a personal business matter. I said good, put it in writing and do not contact me again. You have just committed the 4th TCPA violation which I will be filing suit for. Thank you and have a great night!"
She honestly thought I would still pass on a message to my daughter! :) (BTW, it's for a debt that was paid in full almost 5 years ago when my daughter sued Bank of America for violation of the TCPA on an account that was paid off to begin with but that's another story)
If more people would take action, these places would be out of business!
