You folks should pay your bills and debts and actually contribute something to society other than your debt.

Ever wonder why you have sub 600 credit scores and have to run around "avoiding calls if you don't know who it is" !

Would not state who it was for the longest time, then all I got was Mr. Simmons repeatedly, harassed me over someone who no longer lives there. and by the way to the moron down below stating you should pay your bills.

Grow Up, sometimes people have kids and have to make sacrafices, and ALOT of times coorpate companies DO NOT listen when you say, let's work out a payment plan. You however sound like a snot nosed kid who is spoiled to no end and has had everything handed to them.

Phone number by the way was, 430-200-0007, also kept asking for the person or attorney.

If you receive a call from this number, you have been called by junk debt / collection agency that buys debt from original creditors that has been written off or settled and is beyond the statute of limitations in most states.
