Called my teen-aged daughters cell phone claiming I used that number as a reference #. (Never did!)
Said he needed payment over the phone right then to stop from filing in court today. So I started asking for more information. Would only tell me that it would be filed in state court but could not tell me a specific court. He got more hostile as I asked specific questions such as his name, address, phone #, what company I owed, how much was owed, what the account number was. He wouldn't tell me the account number saying that was state evidence. He finally hung up on me as I was asking when the last date of payment was and what was the statue of limitations. So I called the # back and told him my lawyer need information to be prepared for the law suit. He tried to give me a fax number but I said that I don't need a fax number just a few questions answered for my lawyer. He told me he was going to hang up again unless I was willing to make a payment today to stop the filing. Told him I have 2000 minutes left on this phone and I will keep calling until I get the info I need. He hung up. I called back 8 more times. The call kept going to voice mail of a woman named Rebecca Berman. Finally Edward answered and put me on with a supervisor. The supervisor told me completely different information as to the amount due and their acct/reference number. (Case # 201434023 and Case # 20144198) Also, he told me a different date for the last payment. Again he demanded a payment today. I told him that I will take the information I collected to my lawyer for review and of course he said that the case will be filed today and hung up on me. I have sent a certified letter to the address above. But, of course, it is still at the post office waiting to be signed for.
I also received a call a few days later from 971-404-3188 which I missed. The message left on my answering service was from the same man (Edward Benefield) that I spoke to from Debt Mediation Service. This number associated with Goldberg and Associates.
