I started getting calls a while back from some guy named Sanford Hutton, from 888-238-3290 giving the standard line about "Call me about a business matter." I never got back to him, as I knew I hadn't bounced any checks lately.
About a week and a half ago, he called back, this time leaving a message that he was calling "From the legal department" and that this would be taken to court if I don't pay it right away.
So I finally call back and find out it's over a check that was written 7 years ago. I know that the SOL in Illinois is 4 years. When I attempted to tell him this he informed me that no, I had committed fraud, and there's no statute of limitations on fraud cases. (Whatever).
I looked online, and I could find so listing for this 888-238-3290 number, and no mention whatsoever of this company doing a search for "Check Processing Bureau". I didn't get around to sending them a letter saying I'm fighting this because the SOL is up right away, and now today I've gotten another voicemail from this "Mr Hutton", informing me informing me that it's being sent to court.
Whether it is or not I don't really know, but I'm sending off the SOL letter first thing in the morning.
Has anyone dealth with these people before?
