Mervyn's closed in our area several months ago. I had not shopped there in almost 2 years, & had not received any bills from them. On Thursday, April 2, I received a call from a woman who said she worked for firstsource, a collection agency trying to collect $20.41 that was a bad debt from Mervyn's. I said that I had not shopped there for quite a while & had received no bills. She quoted an address, where I had never lived.in fact, it is a shopping center. I said that I was sure that I had not made a purchase, that I had purchased a home recently with no credit issues. I would pay if she could send me an itemized statement & if I had made the purchase. She said she would send me a statement, verified my address. Why was I called before a statement was sent? I asked that she note my account that I not be called again. Another call on Friday, April 3, same dialogue. Monday, April 6 a third call from India. I explained again. So many calls so close together is harassment. He said it was not harassment, just doing his job, and that he "gets his money from you (me)".informed him I would report him to dept of Consumer Affairs & hung up. Then went online to look for Mervyn's and found this site.
