My partner got a call today from these people, who left a voicemail saying they were suing her for an unsettled debt with Orchard Household Bank. When she called back, the woman was confrontational and rude, and had some info(name, part ss #, former addresses, etc). My partner has a mental disability, so asked if I could get the information on her behalf. When I got on the phone with her and demanded that she furnish documentation she became irate and began with a litany of insults. When I came back at her telling her I did not need the attitude, just the information, she stumbled all over herself, forgot who she was talking to blah blah. I asked her repeatedly for same information over and over, which she did not appreciate. When I argued that no one in their right mind would just hand over a large sum of money without documentation, she just couldn't seem to understand.
Finally, I told her my partner would not be paying. She said she would file the summons on Friday of this week and my partner will be responsible for all the court costs. I said OK and she hung up on me.
My thought is, if someone gets all steamed because you ask for proof of a debt, its probably a scam.
These people are the scum of the earth. Please report them before they take advantage of more people.
