Complaint / Review
MacDowell & Associates
Claims I am someone I am not and/or know person I have never heard of - to make me responsible for this other persons debts Newport Beach California - Atlanta Georgia

I started receiving phone calls in October from MacDowell & Associates in Newport Beach stating I needed to call their office regarding Rebecca Beck and providing me with a MacDowell file # that I was to reference, but no reason given for the call and either no name of the person calling or not understandable. I do not know a person by the name of Rebecca Beck. I did not know who MacDowell & Associates were although what little I could find on the internet at the time seemed to infer maybe that they were law offices.

Out of courtesy (as I have done with some other wrong numbers) I returned their call to tell them there is no Rebecca Beck at my phone # and that this person does not exist at my phone number. The first conversation ensued with no name provided to me by the man who answered the phone. He said he pulled up the file and then stated I must be this Rebecca Beck. When I again advised him I am not, he then told me this is a relative or someone I know. I again told him - no, this is not true. I repeated at least three times to him that I am not this person, I am not related to this person - I do not know this person. Finally, he said he would remove my phone # from the MacDowell file. During this conversation I was not given any information as to what business MacDowell was in nor why they were trying to contact this person nor any names except the person they are trying to contact - Rebecca Beck. I was only told that my phone # was for Rebecca Beck whom I have never heard of and do not know.

In November I again received a phone call on the voice mail telling me that I needed to call MacDowell and Associates and providing with a file number yet again. I again called and reached the same man (no name given but has an unforgettable voice) who acted like I had never called them previously.in fact there seemed to be no record at all of my prior phone call advising them I am not Rebecca Beck and that my phone number is not for this person. Around and around we went until he finally admitted that someone had again called me again this morning. I again went over the fact that there is no Rebecca Beck at my phone number and never has been. I am not Rebecca Beck, I do not know a Rebecca Beck and no - I am not related to a Rebecca Beck. I must have repeated these facts & statements five times again to this man the same man I spoke with before in October. He then read off addresses and phone numbers in their file that I have never heard of except one which is my phone number. He then said that the other information in their file is no good for Rebecca Beck so that means that my phone number is the good one for Rebecca Beck. What kind of logic is this? Because I have voice mail and made the mistake of being courteous enough to advise them there is no such person as a Rebecca Beck at my phone # that then means to them that I am Rebecca Beck and or connected to a person I have never heard of? I again repeated to him that I am not this person, do not know this person, am not related to this person. He then tried to grill me for my personal information as he said he wanted to put it in their file. Why? I am not this person Rebecca Beck. I then pointed out that they are harassing me with phone calls for a person that I have never heard of and do not know. That to continue doing this is not going to get them what they want nor help them - and that it is irrational to continue doing this. He then said I was harassing them by calling & claiming I am not this person. I advised him if necessary I would get an attorney because they are harassing me and demanding I agree to things that are not true. He said "go ahead, try to sue us". He then advised me that as far as they know I am this person Rebecca Beck and so they are going to call me. The fact that I am not this person and do not know this person does not seem to matter.

I again pointed out that calling me for someone that does not exist will not help them and it is irrational. Finally he said he would transfer me to a manager. The manager answered the phone saying he was the "debt collection manager". Until now I had no idea what business MacDowell was in nor what their phone calls were about regarding this Rebecca Beck. MacDowell does not include such information in their phone messages nor will they give it to you when you call them. The manager called himself Joe Cerdantes. While Joe was basically polite he also wanted to insist that I am this person they are trying reach. I pointed out to him, yet again that I am not this person Rebecca Beck, I do not know a Rebecca Beck and I am not related to a Rebecca Beck. I have called them back as a courtesy the first time to advise them that the person Rebecca Beck does not exist at my phone number and never has. I have called them today because rather than remove my phone # from this file they have continued to call me insisting that my phone # is for Rebecca Beck. There is no Rebecca Beck. Finally he said he would remove my phone number from the file yet again.

I do not believe that MacDowell will remove my phone number. Everything they have said to me thus far seems to be based on the belief that if they keep calling me, accusing me of being this person and or can get my personal information that they can change their file to reflect me and make me responsible for this debt that belongs to someone I have never heard of.

I decided to call the GA office of MacDowell in the hopes that someone more rational there would understand that calling me and insisting that I am this other person will not get them what they want nor make me pay a debt that is not mine. What a waste of time. I was transferred to Mr. Kevin MacDowell who spent the time beating me up and yelling at me because I do not like being told I am someone I am not nor the fact that they think I will pay the debt for someone I have never heard of and do not know. He yelled again and again about my being contentious and uncooperative. Then he told me someone was going to call me to get information on me - that's when I told him no way - I will not give them any personal information. He then started yelling at me again - so I hung up on him. I am sure if I had stayed on the line his yelling would have deteriorated to even further abuses. I could not get a word in edgewise nor have a rational conversation with Kevin MacDowell as he was intent on further dictating to me more lies and demands even though I am not Rebecca Beck.

At this point I am afraid of what MacDowell & Associates will do to me. They are unable to understand a basic courtesy of someone advising them that the phone number they are using for a person named Rebecca Beck is not valid. They are insistent on stating that I am this person, related to this person or know this person and therefore responsible for whatever this debt is. And when I make it clear that these things are not true they then want my personal information "for their files". Given their behavior it is obvious that they would then put my personal information on the debt and proceed to harm me beyond harassment.

Do I have any rights against MacDowell & Associates to make them stop calling me, to stop their insistence that I am some other person I have never heard of and do not know? I have done my best, but they are so irrational I fear they will continue to pursue this to the point that far more harm is done to me than just phone calls and demands that I agree to be someone I am not and or demand I pay debts that are not mine.
