On June 26 my neighbor across the street from me rang my bell to tell me that my old friend from high school Jessica Valim was trying to get a hold of me. She asked my neighbor if I still lived there and wanted my phone number cause she no longer had a good number to get a hold of me. She asked him if he had a work number for me as well or where did I work that she would try to find me herself. He then told her that he'd give me the message and took her number. I called her right away and she told me to give her my social security number full number to verify it was me. She stated the she worked for a collection agency called Diversifed Collection Services Inc. And that I had till June 30 (4 Days) to stop her from proceeding with litigation and judgement proceedings to collect a debt of 2684.61 for the Virginia Deptment of Taxation. I tod her to give me about 20 mins. To call her back. She gave me her number and an address to the company and if I did'nt make arrangements with them on 6/30 judgement proceedings would start. I called her back 40 min's later and left her a message that I'd be sending a full payment the next day 6/27/09. I got a letter in the mail that next day that explained that I had 7 day's to contact them and 30 day's to make payment to them. (not 4 day's as Jessica stated to me) Their letter also had a Guy Mcdonald as a point of contact. (not Jessica Valim) The letter stated to make the check payable to the Virginia Deptment of Taxation and mail it to DCS INC. P.O. Box 9056 Plesnton Ca. 94566. I called and left a message for Jessica Valim and also called Guy Mcdonald that I sent them a check for the full debt and I stated the check number too and that they should get it in maybe three days. Well Jessica Valim calls me back on 6/29/09 and tells me to stop payment on my check and give her my bank info. So she could do a pay off by phone/credit/debit card cause it's to late to stop judgement proceedings that will start tomorrow 6/30/09. I told her no it will cost me more money to stop payment on a check with my bank. She then laughed and told me that it does'nt cost anything to stop payment on a check. I told her that the letter in my hand did not say anything about not excepting a check or anything about a credit card. I told her she will just have to get my check when it get's there. Then she tell's me that there might be more to my debt. Due to more intest added she'll let me know. She then calls me on 7/1/09 and tells me that they got my check and that I still owe 6.01. Again she wanted my bank info. To secure payment I told her no she'll get a check in the mail just as she got the 2684.61. I also told her that she should'nt tell poeple that it does'nt cost anything to stop a payment on a check. I told her I wanted to speak to her supervisor she then sent me to someone's voice mail that had been done for the day. I called her Jessica Valim back right away and she also sent me to voice mail. She should be fired for the false statements she tells people and for the false way's she tries to get a hold of people. Try letting someone get your notice in the mail before you start calling people's neighbor's and lying to them. Also Guy Mcdonald should call people back.
