I received a call on my cell phone stating that they were trying to collect an unpaid debt of $591.21 for magazines I had ordered in 2003. I told him he must have the wrong number because I do not order magazines. He gave me a list of about 5 magazines.
I Kept denying this by saying I did not order magazines, he said he understood but he was offering me a settlement price of $210.15 to clear my debt so it would not be sent to collection.
I asked what the name of the company was that I was to have bought the magazines from and he said "Consolidated Media Services" I asked what company he was calling from and he said "Luebke Baker & Associates" I asked for a phone number where I could call back and he gave me 800-258-6587. He would not give me a physical address but gave me a P.O. Box of 9398, Peoria, Ill. He gave me the name of Les Purdle at ext. 120.
At one point, he said he had an address for me of 4443, some place in Illinois. I told him he definitely had the wrong person because I have never lived in Ill.
I said I am sorry but I would not pay the $591.21 or the $210.15 because I did not order anything and I did not owe anything.
He kept trying to say he was trying to help me settle my debt and I kept saying I do not owe this debt, and until the company can prove that I ordered the magazines, I would not pay anything.
He finally gave up and said he would call me back another time.
