I was contacted by U. S mail. The letter stated I owed a Company money that I had defaulted on back in 1994. The letter was to offer a settlement of 30% of the total money owed on the account.
I contacted them on there toll free line 1-877-219-6629 at the time I got this women on the line and asked her what this letter was about? She asked for the ref# which I gave her. She stated I had owed this money for years and needed to pay up! I told her I never had a account with this company and she said is this your address which she listed off my fathers address. I said no that was not my address and had not lived there since 1976.
Well she says is this your last 4 SS# and I said yes but a lot of companies share this Information. Then I say what year was this debt from, she said 1994. I said Ma" that's first of all not my debt and second it's 14 friken years old and the stats have ran out! She tried to tell me there was this new law "R-9" and it allows there company and others to collect on old debts even if there over 10 years old. I said you are so full of s*t!
And then I asked them not to contact me again and also asked if the had in fact had proof If I had had this account to send me all paper work and I'd look at it. She stated this was the only INFO she had. Well I said here's a little more INFO for you and your company. STOP and I Repeat! Stop calling, sending letters or I was have to contact the national Harassment dept of better business bureau.
I can't help but notice that there is a lot of complaints with the same reasons. I think a class action is in order. If there Is someone out there thinking of doing such, Count me in and I'll even help where I can. People remember they can't treat you like Crap so just fight back. Also remember what goes aroung, come around...
