I just received a call with a recorded message from "Elizabeth Childs" (732-791-2445) stating that an item has been returned in my name and to call 704-412-5676 with docket #34****. Before I made the return call, I decided to check the number on 800notes and am I glad I did. I decided to call back and have the upper hand for a change. The woman answered the phone, "Valerie", and after I gave her the docket # she informed me that there was an outstanding payday loan in my name and social. I stated "before we go any further, I need to make you aware that this call is being recorded". She wanted to know why, and I told her "because I am a victim of ID theft involving the IRS, and since I have been working with the Attorney General's office they wanted all conversations recorded that involved debt collection or other financial issues". She actually sounded concerned and said she would have no problem with it, then I informed her "I would need her company name and address before we can continue the conversation" - she hung up. I decided to call back in case it was a mistake, and the same person answered the phone (seemed strange for a large call center...hmmm?). I proceeded to say my name and docket #, then asked if I was speaking with "Valerie" - she hung up again. Let's see if they call me back now, if they do I will update here.
