In the winter of 2004 I received a letter from JBC Leagel Group telling me that I wrote a bad check for $101.91 to Ames in Bridgeport CT.in november of 1999. At first I just thought this was rediculous because I have never even been to an Ames in my life and for that matter I dont even know what kind of store this place was. I just disregared the letter and forgot about it.
Two weeks later I recived a second letter from the same company stating that in the same month I wrote another bad check this time for $347.64 to Ames again. This time however I did some research I found out that there was no Ames in Bridgeport CT. And that Ames Had been out of Business for about two years. Well this struck me funny and I decided to give JBC Leagel Group a call.
From the begining of the conversation I felt something was not right and then he asked me for my CT drivers license number I responded with the fact that I haven't lived in the state of CT. For a number of years now and said that if this was in fact a true claim would'nt he have that information, after all they claim I wrote a bad check and I dont know about you but usually when you write check they ask for your drivers license and write all the info. On the check. At that point we were disconnected, I felt he hung up on me.
When I tryed to call back I could not get through. I called back a couple of days later and had the same conversation with a female and asked her to produce me a copy of the check. She could not provid me with anything. I then told her I was going to repot this company for trying to steel my money, my identety and who knows what eles and again I was disconnected.
About a month later they called me back and told me that they were just going to put my account in the fraud department and I told them never to call me again and I hung up the phone. I just want people to know what this company is trying to do, Just because they know your name and adress dose not mean you should give them any money or personal information!
