I am a 71-yr old woman who has a Power of Attorney for my son who was very ill 2 years ago and has not been able to work. Consequently, he has debts that have gone to collection agencies. This morning, I received a cal from a woman named "Wendy" who stated she had a judgment from Maricopa County Arizona and I must pay my son's delinquent account. I told her I had only a Power of Attornery and she stated that makes me a co-owner of the account. When I questioned this, she became very rude and accused me of being rude to her. I asked her for the name of her company and she refused, however, she gave me an 800 number so I could call back and make arrangements for payment.
I did call back after calling the Maricopa County Attorney and spoke to another woman. When I told her I had contacted the Maricopa County Attorney's office and am waiting for a call back, she would not give me her name but stated I am named on the account. When I explained about the P of A, she back-pedaled and started attacking me, saying I was being rude to her and she hung up on me. A few minutes later, my phone rang and she was MUCH nicer hinting that she had to hang up to compose herself (yeah, sure) and gave me the name of the company (NCO Group) and the mailing address. I'm not done yet!
I will go into the hospital next week for a cancer biopsy and I certainly don't need this kind of treatment now or ever.
