Just another one to add to the pile. I'm not as lucky as some of the others, instead of receiving letters I receive automated calls early in the morning asking me to contact a "Ken Hughes". After being fed up with these calls I decide to call them (from a phone other than my home line!) and find out what the deal is with these calls.
I spoke with "Ken Hughes' assistant" and he informed me that they were a collection agency. He asked if he could have my home phone # and I said "No, you already have it as you've been calling me for weeks now. "I told him that I don't dodge calls and that if "Ken" wants to talk to me he can call me personally.
He mumbled something about an outstanding debt. I told him I have perfect credit and that I just so happened to check my credit a week ago. I told him I thought it was funny that my credit went from having zero delinquencies on all 3 credit reports to having a "collection agency" after me in less than a week.
He replied with "Well, if don't give me your home number then you're just going to keep getting calls."
I repied with "Whatever", and hung-up.
Avoid Merchants Credit Guide Co., and "Ken Hughes" like the plague, folks. I agree with another poster who suggested that this "company" be reported to some higher agency.
