Dennis Murphy from LHR, Inc contacted me about a First Equity credit card debt taken out in my company's name that was in collection. Since this was news to me I returned his call. It turns out that my father defaulted on this credit card that he opened in his name, with his personal information. LHR claims since it was in "my company's name" name I am responsible which I happen to know is not true - I have cards in my company's name and this is a personal card. You can put anything you want on a personal secured card and it is has no legal implication. LHR screamed, shouted and told me I must have my father arrested for fraud, have the DA confiscate his property, sell his property, and pay them - etc. Except it is all false and untrue. They have a right to collect this debt - just not from me. They are in clear violation of the Fair Trade act since I am legally a third party and have told them not to call me.
I have now filed a complaint with the FTC, NY General Attorney, BBB. I have sent them the required certified letter to cease contacting me (they continue). They can of course go to a court of law, which my attorney was still laughing about, since I am not connected to the debt. If you owe money, I feel sorry for you. If you are innocent as I am - fight back
