This afternoon, out of the blue I received a call from "Yvette" of this company, claiming I owed a debt of $86,000 (!). I told her I had paid off such a debt several years ago (I paid off a mortgage then for this approximate amount); she said, "No you didn't pay and you better send payment now or I will continue to call you."
I kept explaining she had the wrong person; she kept calling me a liar and insisted I owed them the $86,000. I asked for her last name and telephone number; at that point her supervisor, who had evidently been eavesdropping, came on the line and told me their telephone number was 1-888-798-4993. He said his name was Steven Giefeck (maybe the "G" in GC?)
Finally they read the social security number of the deadbeat they were after, and mine is nowhere close. They were completely unapoligetic, and said "you should have told us that before." In fact, of course, the debt they were talking had nothing to to with me in any way, shape, or form.
Thoroughly obnoxious and rude behavior by an irresponsible company. Evidently, they find it easier to make random phone calls around the country accusing people of being deadbeats rather than doing a little preliminary research to make sure they've got the right person.
