I got a similar recorded message as Steamed601. Twice. First time I pressed 1 and got a guy from India with broken English. He asked me if I had $5000 or more in debt and I said that I was not going to discuss that with him but wanted to speak to a credit counselor. He said that he could not transfer me if I did not answer the question. I hung up.
Second time, Robot said they've been trying to reach me. I pressed 1 and got same??? Indian guy who had bad English. He asked my name. Well, if they've been trying to call me why doesn't he know my name? Got the $5000 question and said yes. I was connected to Harold who informed me that he was with American Freedom Financial and they were wroking with a government program to reduce debt. He asked how much cc debt I had. I told him that I did not know how much credit card debt we had as my husband handles that. He gave me a number for my husband to call back with all the balances and creditors and interest we are paying: 877-513-7863 x5581.
