These people called me and my oldest daughter today from three different numbers, looking for my youngest daughter, stated they were investigators and that we needed to tell my youngest daughter to call them, they also called me back and asked for my oldest daughter, stated they needed to talk to her about my youngest daughter and her husband. I just took a msg. I didn't know what they are about, but the next time they call, they will get an earfull, as I have worked for a collection agency and know the FDCPA rules. If they break them i will file a compliant. I am in TN.
The numbers they called from today are
904-721-3710
904-721-3711
904-721-3709
They called my oldest daughter on her cell ph, and this in itself is illegal according to the FDCPA. I advised her the next time they call to tell them this is a cell ph and to stop calling, if they do not then they are breaking the rule.
According to the FDCPA, they cannot present themselves as attorn or law offices, they can in no way threaten u in anyway, including to sue u, are not supposed to call u at work if told not to, are not supposed to tell anyone but u what the business is about, except ur spouse in some states not all. I HATED it when i worked for a collection agency, but did learn some things. I am waiting for them to call me back, so I can ask some questions and hope they break all the rules.
