This is a debt collection company that buys up very old debt. When I say old, I mean debt that is over 7 years old, that no other debt collection company wants. They are based out of Vegas, but a lot of times they will spoof the Called ID to show a number from your area so you will possibly answer. Ignore them. How do I know this? I worked for them for about 2 months after I was laid off my job. Look people if you owe something that is very old like this, it's off your credit report anyway. Bad thing is that if they talk you into sending in just one token payment, they can renew the debt and it will "magically" appear back on your credit report. The tactics that these people use are way unethical. If they realize that they have a good number for you, they have a skip trace department that will start looking up your relatives and bothering them in an effort to get you to talk to them. If you get a call with a computer message asking if it is you, and to press whatever number, Don't! If you do, your nightmare is just beginning. Luckily for me I found another job, and once I gave my 2 weeks notice, I spent most of my time labeling the accounts handed to me as "bad number" or "wrong contact number". I just didn't have the stomach for this.
