I received a phone call on Friday, 7 January 2011, from an individual with a heavy accent asking if I was who I was and asked if the last 4 digits of my SSN were my SSN. I said yes, and he proceeded to tell me he was a debt collector for Northland Group in regard to a Premier Bank account. I am trying to correct things on my credit report so I listened. He said the compnay was offering a one time settlement on the account. I agreed that I would like to participate, but it was the three questions he asked that showed some shady business going on. These are the three things he asked for that I did not reply: Estimated take home pay, my marital status, and how much I paid for mortgage/rent. I informed this individual that I had dealt with debt collectors in the past, and they never asked me any questions like that. And I hung up the phone. Then, the stupid person decides to call me back from this phone number: (650) 230-1967. He was actually begging for me to continue with trying to obtain a settlement. I hung up again. I do regret giving him my cell phone number. The following day, the phone number (267) 519-4400 called and it was the stupid [***] man again. I hung up again. They call like every other day from the (650) 230-1967 ohone number, but I am at work. Thank goodness I did not provide my work number. Besides, I have dealt with the real Northland Group in the past and they are very legit and professional.
