This company has been robo-calling my home for the last several months claiming that they are about to go to court on a 6 year old debt that my wife reportedly owes from before we were married, plus interest. I found out last week that they have also been calling my dad (who lives 4 hours away and whom I'm named after) and he gave them my name and number, but they apparently don't care that they keep calling the wrong person. They actually threatened to serve HIM with papers on the matter! He called me in a panic (he's 77 years old) thinking it was a law office and he was going to be served if I didn't contact them in the "two hour hold" on the process that they were so generous to offer him.
So I tried calling initially myself, and they tell me that I have to have my wife on the line to be authorized to speak on the matter. Then later I call with her on the line and the first person I talked to said he couldn't even access the file. I told him that my dad said he was going to get served with papers in another 30 minutes and he can't even open the file? He put me on hold and their so-called "legal case manager" came on the line. I told her she needed to send me notice in writing of what we owed and with whom. She refused. She was very rude and didn't want to hear anything I had to say. So I told her that we can just sort it out in court, at which point she said the summons will be there soon and hung up on me.
I'll post an update if they follow through on their threat of legal action, but 2 two business days and counting and no summons yet. We'll see.
