Woman called today. instantly gave me an attitude as soon as I denied the debt. I asked her to please stop the attitude, she started yelling that "if she had an attitude she would of hung up the phone along time ago". Ghetto rude woman.

Received a call from this number saying I had a debt from 2008 it is now 2017!! I monitor my CR monthly and have never seen this debt. Once I denied it she said she would put this down as an "identity theft" and gave me a bogus name and acct number for the original debtor. When I called them they stated that their acct numbers aren't even arranged like that and wouldn't come from their company. Furthermore I haven't lived in this town in over 14yrs!!

Why would you go to the trouble of calling?


It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Received a phone call today from a very rude man asking me what my name was, telling me he was charging me with check fraud.  I asked what this pertained to and he insisted I had a pay day loan that was never paid back or something..  So I instantly got offended being that I don't do pay day loans and he started arguing with me, calling me a liar!!  I instantly hung up the phone, because I knew this can't be right...
