Who called from 9722150586

I just got a call from this same ridiculous company.  When are those goofballs going to learn that all of the telemarketing noise in the background, calling my boss by her first name like some close friend are dead giveaways that they're somebody she doesn't want to talk to???!!  Ha!  Sometimes I just play along to see what absurd tactic they're going to try on me this time - knowing full well that when I'm ready, I will end the call.

I asked who was calling and what company, he said Roderick Wade with Stillwell and Stone.  He added a very pompous "She'll take my call".  (Of course, by this time, "Wild Bill" (AKA Roderick Stone) has probably had to use another name to try and get through!    Such [removed:lang]should have no access to the public . . .

They have called us with threats as well. They have also managed to violate several Ca. codes. Cal. Civ. Code § 1812.700; California law will require third-party debt collectors subject to the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to provide debtors with a notice describing their rights under the California Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the FDCPA..
We have a law suit in the works as well as a potential class action suit.

My name is Roderick Wade. I have never called anyone's place of business and represented myself as anything other than Roderick Wade. Not Wild Bill, nor Roderick Stone. Anyone that knows me will say that I'm a man of integrity. I am suspect of the comment, because most people don't spell my first name correct. Also the date in question 5-1-10, I was working in the field gathering accounts. Whomever says that I called their business that day is not telling the truth. Please email me at [email protected]. I'd like to talk to you to see why someone would call you using my name. I found out about this comment today when it was brought to my attention. Thanks

Stillwell & Stone does Commercial Collections FDCPA does not apply.  I would suggest calling them and paying your bill.

Manager

I love to read these complaint/[***] sessions..

I'm not against or for this company, but wanted to investigate a few things after reading the above.

Stillwell & Stone sound like most collection agencies. They have a sales floor with "dialers" to make sales calls and a collection floor collecting debt from deadbeat customers. Any phone sales floor will be loud, especially in a collection agency...! I don't believe a collection agency would ever tolerate abussive language to a prospective customer or for that matter a debtor in collections. Most agencies have a compliance person who listens to all recorded calls. You would get fired on the spot in our company if your cussed out a potential customer... NEXT! I would suggest if you have a "legitimate" complaint that you submit a one on Stillwell & Stone's website. I just checked and there's a place for you to vent your personal feelings. The person from the earlier statement regarding FDCPA is correct. I looked at Stillwell's site and they are a Commercial Collection agency... FDCPA doesn't appy here.

Seriously, if you don't like the call then why stay on it...?Just hang up...!
