On XX/XX/2019 I received multiple phone calls on my cell phone and at my place of employment from the following number : XXXX. On every message they left the person on leaving the message would say " This is a legal matter, about a case that is pending ''. I called the number and spoke to a person by the name of XXXX XXXX who said he was handling my case and that it was associated with an unpaid pay day loan that was given to their office for collection. I ask him on the phone why they left messages referring to legal implications and cases I also asked if he was an attorney and he indicated that he was with thier legal dept. I told him to stop calling my work phone number and to send me an email with details listing the debt that he claimed that I owed. Later that evening he sent me an email with the following information : XXXX XXXX Representing XXXX.

I keep getting phone calls from a " process server '' ( XXXX ) telling me that my package was returned undeliverable and I need to call this other phone # immediately to verify the contents of my certified letter, and discuss my account immediately. They have given me XXXX different case numbers now, this has gone on for over 2 months now. They do n't keep notes on who they are calling, as the caller just keeps leaving me the same message over and over again, and each time I call they act like it is the first time calling. The first was reading my " certified letter '' to me, and told me she did n't have time to re-send the package, due to my upcoming court date on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I called the XXXX # she directed me to, and was told they had recently gone to my local courthouse ( yet they could not tell me where I live or what county the courthouse was in ). They said a pending lawsuit was being filed against my name and social security number due to an old XXXX XXXX cell phone bill in the amount of {$1000.00}. I could save myself from " court costs and a 10 year judgment being put on my record '' if I paid them half the balance over the phone right away. I refused and told them to send me something in writing. A week later a very poorly composed Word document letter was sent to me from them. It looked like a template where they had just plugged in my name and some figures. I forwarded this letter on to an attorney I am now working with. He said the letter is complete nonsense, they are just using scare tactics and lots of " legal language '' to try to intimidate me and trick me into thinking there is a lawsuit. I do not owe any debts, there are no collection accounts on my credit report, and I have n't used XXXX XXXX phone company in over 11 years. When the company called me again, a new person answered the phone, and gave me a NEW case number, dollar amount {$890.00} and a new court date, XXXX XXXX, 2016. I asked him what happened to the XXXX XXXX court date, he had no clue what I was talking about. I informed the debt collector of the statute of limitations, and that it is illegal to threaten legal action over the phone. He told me it is not, that they own my debt and I ca n't escape my debts. I told him that my attorney had their information and would be serving them with papers for violating FDCPA. We investigated them, their address is a Post office box at a USPS shipping store in California. Unfortunately, we are not able to serve them with papers, and my attorney told me that he strongly suspects they are not even located in the United States. I would just like the phone calls and messages to stop ( every time I block XXXX number they create a new one and start again ). I also would like other people to know that this company is a complete sham. There are at least XXXX other companies using this same " address '' by the name of ADR Group, XXXX XXXX and " XXXX XXXX '' law firm. All of them have shady, horribly put together websites with misspellings and bad grammar. For a " legal expert '' or " law office '' you would think their website and letters would at least appear to be legitimate. I want to get the word out so people stop sending these scam artists money. If you feel like they are n't real, please contact the company that they claim you owe and verify with them first. I did, and found out that guess what.. I owe nothing. How can I get them to remove my name from their calling system? I know I can not take legal action against an illegitimate company, but I would like something to be done.

ADR Group has been contacting me about an alleged debt that they are attempting to file a civil suit for, stemming from 2007. They contacted someone other than me about the debt, and provided that person with confidential information ( such as part of my social security number ), and did not verify whom they were speaking to. They did not verify my identity and therefore provided this info to an unknown caller. They provided the phone number XXXX to the person they assumed was me. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, I then attempted to contact them myself. They refused to answer my questions about sending me documentation proving that I have a debt of {$730.00}. I attempted to advise that if this debt was legitimate, that it had far surpassed Arizona States Statute of Limitations ( 6 years ). He told me that they had 10 years. I requested documentation of the original alleged debt, and they hung up on me. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I attempted to call again. They did not answer. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I called again. The representative ( male ) did not verify my identity, and began providing account numbers for the alleged debt. I asked when my court date was so that I could appear. He told me the court date was XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX County Court. He refused to provide a time. I attempted to ask about the time, he interrupted me by saying that he would send the documentation. I told him to not interrupt me, and he told me " No, I am in control and I will tell you what 's up. '' I attempted to ask where they were sending the documentation ( as they did not verify me, I have no idea what address they are sending this to. I 've moved several times in the last decade ). He hung up on me. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I called again. The representative ( female ) did not verify my identity, nor did she request my case number. I asked her about the court time. She stated that a motion had not yet been filed. I advised her that the previous representative had advised me of the date and location of the court summons, but not the time. She stated " I do n't know why he would have told you that. '' She told me she would have the court summons sent. I asked about where she was sending it and she provided XXXX addresses ( still not knowing if I was actually the defendant. No one has yet even confirmed my name ). I advised her to send it to the second address provided. She stated I would receive it within two weeks. She then proceeded to tell me that " if you were a paralegal, you would know that. '' I advised her that I am not a paralegal, and never said I was. She then said " well he told me you told him that. '' then hung up. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to the case lookup function on XXXX County Superior Courts website. There were no court cases under my current or maiden name from this group. I attempted to look them up on the internet. They do not appear to have a website, which seems fraudulent. I then proceeded to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for what appears to be a possible Identity Theft scam or phishing. FTC Compliant XXXX

I received a phone call that said a debtor was on the way to the courthouse to file a judgement against me. I needed to call them back immediately at XXXX to prevent them from garnishing my wages and seizing my bank bank accounts. They would not give me any other information on the debt, company trying to sue me, or anything else except a case number I called the XXXX number and someone immediately picked up and asked for the case number. They stated they were XXXX XXXX and they had been assigned this case by the attorneys. I told them the case number and they said that the same information. That they would be filing a lawsuit in a couple hours if I didn't immediately settle the debt with them. I asked what the debt was. They stated that it was a account from over 15 years ago. I questioned the legitimacy of the account. They than said that they notified me by mail recently ( which i did not receive ). They than said they would send another letter to me. This was suspicious because of the previous call ( and this one ) saying they were on the way to file a lawsuit. They provided Two addresses in the letter I received from them today. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. XXXX CA XXXX This is a XXXX XXXX at a Mail and More store. and where they want payments or dispute forms sent. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. XXXX CA XXXX This is the US Post Office branch XXXX XXXX . The state corporation website does not have a listing for XXXX XXXX in XXXX CA. The city of XXXX also does not list XXXX XXXX as a business at either of those two locations. There is a company listed by the state called XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Entity number XXXX listed as XXXX XXXX. This company has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX listed as the Mailing address. ( same as XXXX XXXX. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX was involved in a lawsuit in NY XXXX District Court. case number XXXX. I have not contacted them again due o the fact that they gave me XXXX XXXX 's as a business address, The actual business name is in question, and might not even be currently licensed in the state of California, and primarily because the first contact from them was saying that they were on the way to the courthouse to file a lawsuit unless I settled with them over the phone for a old questionable debt.

My complaint is against the ADR Group located in XXXX, CA. XXXX ( XXXX ) from the ADR Group called my father 's house looking for me today. First off I 'm upset because they care calling relatives to try to locate me!! I have been at my current address for 19 years and have never received any kind of communication from this company then all of a sudden they are hunting me down and when I do call them back they are threatening to take me to court and file a civil suit against me for a {$750.00} They said it 's for a XXXX bill from 2001. I had a friend call them back to see if she could find out any further information and she spoke to XXXX. XXXX could n't answer some of her questions so she put XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) on the phone who told my friend that the company ( XXXX ) waited 10 years for the statue of limitation to be up to take me to civil court to collect this debt. I 'm just wondering why they would do that because if I owed them why have n't I received any communication from them? He also said I could settle the account today and today only for {$350.00} which will not be possible because I am unemployed. He gave me two options to pay {$75.00} a month until I pay it off or settle the account for {$350.00}. He also asked for checking account information and a date to collect on the settlement amount. I 'm very leary of giving someone access to my friend 's account and she called the bank and they told her not to do that ( I do n't have a checking account ). XXXX told my friend that I had until XXXX today to call them and give them checking account information. I am not employed and I do n't have a checking account. It 's not right that this company would contact me about an account that I ca n't remember, and on my first conversation try to get me to give them my personal checking account information and all they are telling me is that it is an old XXXX bill without showing me NO proof. Can you please have this company stop calling my relatives and to close this old account and not to take me to civil court. Thanks

Hello, I 'm writing to complain about the ADR group. They also go under the name Dispute Resolution Services. Yesterday I received a call from a man named " XXXX XXXX ''. He said he was an investigator with XXXX XXXX XXXX and that I was listed as a contact person for my husband, XXXX XXXX. He told me he would be coming to my house tomorrow, XXXX XXXX, between XXXX with the sheriff to serve summons to my husband. He also said that if he did not receive a stand down order and my husband was n't home, that my husband would be facing legal fines. He did not leave a company name and he did not give the mini-miranda about trying to collect a debt. He did leave a case number and docket number. He also left the phone number of the company he is working for. Of course now I 'm freaking out because I 'm worried that the police are going to come to my house and take my husband in front of our kids ( he would actually be at work during the time of this scheduled visit ). I did a little research and found out the company is called ADR. When I called the number back the system told me they were called XXXX. I went through my voice mails and found out they had called me in XXXX telling me there was a complaint filed under my husband 's name and SS # for fraud. When I received this call in XXXX I called them back and asked for number to be removed from their records. Of course they called again. They 've also called my parents with the same scare tactics. I do n't think it 's right that they threaten and use scare tactics to try and reach my husband. I talked to a friend who worked in collections and was told that this was absolutely illegal. That they ca n't threaten to sue, ca n't threaten arrest, ca n't misrepresent who they work for. They did all of these things!! Any help would be appreciated and if you need to contact my husband or I, please do! Thank so much, XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted at work. A voicemail was left on my phone stating that I needed to contact XXXX and set up a time to be served because I was going to be sued. I returned the phone call. They stated they were collecting a debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. They stated that I needed to make a payment on the debt. the debt was over {$500.00}, and with their fees, it came to {$900.00}. I asked the agent about the statue of limitation. I asked was the debt time barred. The agent stated no because they could collect since the bank was going in bankruptcy. I asked them to validate the debt and he stated he couldn't. I could either set the arrangement or get sued. I told them that that was not my debt, however, my only option given was to make a payment. They set up to take a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. I followed up with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The account was closed in XXXX. The debt was from XXXX. They stated that they were making no attempts to collect anything. I spoke with XXXX XXXX, who stated the account was sold to a debt collector called XXXX in XXXX. The statute of limitations have clearly passed. I received another call today from XXXX, indicating that they were still trying to collect. I informed them that I had spoken with the bank. I also informed them that their attempt to collect and threatening to sue in XXXX XXXX Court was illegal on a debt that was over the statute of limitations. The agent failed to remove or stop debt collection attempts, even after I told him what the agents had stated on a recorded phone line.

I received a call from ADR Group located in California ( XXXX ) XXXX. One of the clerks on the phone did not identify themselves.The clerk verified me by a last name I had not used since XX/XX/XXXX and last XXXX of my social then told me I owed {$540.00} to XXXX from an account that was open from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I have not had an account with XXXX. I told the clerk that and she said it did not matter because she had my information and the debt was mine. She said they are going to take me to court and I can try to fight it there. I told her I live in Texas and the statute of limitations to sue someone for a debt is 4 years under The Texas Debt Collection Act. She seemed a little confused, and I told her they should be familiar with the laws for the state in which they are trying to collect a debt, even a false XXXX. She said it did not matter and I would have my day in court. I have received nothing in writing from this business. I spoke to a gentleman at the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner and he informed me for this business to attempt to collect a debt in Texas, they have to follow Texas laws and register with the Secretary of State and pay a {$10000.00} surety bond. He stated he could not find ADR Group having registered. I feel like this business is trying to bully me into paying for something that is not mine by using illegal tactics and I feel they might be doing it to others as well. I tried to contact the company again and they put me on hold and would not speak to me.

Just received a phone call from a lady calling from ( XXXX ) XXXX saying she was from a courier service and that she needed to speak to me because they " so-called '' had legal documents delivered to me and I was unavailable and they wanted to verify my address to send these legal documents to me so I won't be a no show in my upcoming court case. First of all, what court case and second, who are you with? She would not give me the information but transferred me to someone name XXXX. He stated they've been trying to serve me with court papers and they wanted to verify my address. I asked who he as with and he stated he was with someone name ADR. Wouldn't completely identify himself, wouldn't tell me who the company was that was " suing me '' and told me I could settle with him without going to court. He continued to threaten me over the phone about suing me and I needed to make arrangements with him today. Again, no information on who the company was that was " suing me '' and he wouldn't disclose no account number, no amount that was owed, anything. Immediately, I knew this was a scam artist trying to get banking information from me and I know if they wanted to sue me, they wouldn't call me over the phone to threaten me, I would just be served. This XXXX person 's phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX ext. XXXX. Again, would not give any additional information and I can actually sue him for threatening me over the phone.

I received a phone call from phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. the lady said they were sending the police out to serve papers on my wife. I asked what it was about and she said I would need to speak with the attorney handling the case. I was transferred over to a XXXX XXXX who was not a lawyer. He said it was for an old debt that my wife had. He told me that with court costs that it was around XXXX dollars but the would take less. This is after he tried telling me his life story about his XXXX kids, ice fishing which I did not care about. He gave me his number which is XXXX. My wife called and ask them to send the information to our address. With who the loan was with, when it was taken out, what they were willing to take as a settlement. She was transferred to a XXXX XXXX XXXX who refused to do any of that and threatened her with legal action. XXXX XXXX XXXX told her that it was XXXX dollars that she owed with court costs. We have never received any thing on this bill before. The number XXXX has called me since then. I feel this is a scam and that they are very unprofessional. There should be no reason the information shouldn't have been mailed to us. When I looked them up on line the adr lawgroup is out of the west coast. So I looked them up as adr group and found them on several sites like ripoff.com. Which states they are a scam group. there is no mention of this bill on any of my wife credit reports.

Just received the report and following up on the ADR Group I found numerous complaints along the same line on what happening to me. All complaints involve ADR Group going after debt from over ten years and debt that was already paid, but still threatening lawsuits.

In XXXX I applied for a payday loan on-line with XXXX ... I did receive the money ; however, I had problems paying it off because of the high interest rate and exhorbitant fees so I enrolled in a Debt Consolidation Loan company in XXXX ; and they negotiated with XXXX XXXX XXXX creditors at the time ( I had several ) ; and worked me out a plan where I paid them XXXX monthly payment ; and, they paid each of my creditors. It was my understanding that XXXX was one of those payday loan creditors. I successfully completed the program. That was XXXX years ago. Until XXXX weeks ago, I had not received a phone call or any mail from XXXX saying that I owed them money. Now, they are threatening to sue me if I do not pay them XXXX which I can not afford to pay in XXXX lump sum.I can not afford the payment arrangement of $ XXXX XXXX @ XXXX XXXX ) XXXX. I do not think it is right for this creditor to seek payment from me when I in good faith made payments to them back in XXXX. If they were not acceptable of the payment arrangement with the debt consolidator I used at the time, I was not aware of that. Please help me with this matter because I have worked hard to rebuild my credit in the past 3 years ; and I do not want this matter to show up on my credit. Thanks, Distressed Consumer

I was contacted by ADR XXXX XXXX ( sp? ) on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, regarding an online payday loan that they say i owe for, through a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been trying to collect on a payday loan I did not authorize from XXXX or XXXX. I had a rash of online payday loans, XXXX total, that were laudered through my previous bank account. After my bank did their own investigation, they determined that there were XXXX loans deposited into my account over the span of 6 days, only to be withdrawn within 30 to 45 minutes of each deposit clearing. My bank was unable to determine how the deposits were withdrawn as there was no further electronic information. Due to my bank not being able to track where the deposits were moved to, my local authorities told me I did n't have sufficient information to file a police report for fraud and they recommended I shut down the account and move to another bank to avoid any further financial difficulties. ADR XXXX XXXX is apparently the collection agency for this debt and have informed me that I am to be served with paperwork at my residence or work place. I have yet to see anyone show up at either location to serve me with anythng.

An individual claiming to be " XXXX XXXX '' called my home voicemail saying he was an " independent process server.

He had a whole script about how he would show up at the home of XXXX XXXX and then go to her work to serve the papers. He left a case number. I am a paralegal, so I looked up to see if there was a debt collection case against XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. There is n't. There also is no process server in XXXX named " XXXX XXXX. '' I contacted this company at the phone number they left ( XXXX ). I asked the name of the company that called and a rude individual told me that it was called " ADR '' in XXXX, XXXX, but would not further identify himself or his employer. I told him about the voicemail, that I was not XXXX XXXX and did not know XXXX XXXX. I also told him that " XXXX XXXX '' was not a process server in XXXX and that there is no case against XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX County, XXXX. He told me that I must know everything and hung up on me. This company is calling people claiming to be process servers in XXXX and they clearly are not.

On XX/XX/XXXX, at about XXXX, I received a call from someone names " XXXX XXXX '' who claimed to be an independent processor. His number was restricted. In his voicemail, he claimed that he was going to serve me at my residence with papers and to call a company called " XXXX '' if I had any questions. The number given was XXXX, and he gave me a case # XXXX. A man answered the phone after about 2 rings ( I forgot to record his name ), and promptly put me on hold. When he returned, he stated that for privacy reasons that I needed to confirm my last four of my social, which he read to me. This was my first indicator of potential fraud as anyone could simply agree that was their last four. He then preceded to tell me it was from XXXX XXXX, who I have never had an account with, and that it was from XX/XX/XXXX ( 11 years ago! ). I notified him of the statute of limitations, and he quickly became defensive and rude. As I continued to talk to him about my doubt of their legitimacy, he became angry and hung up. After some research online, I have found that this company is notoriously known for attempting to scam people for illegitimate debt, and was advised to file a report.

Company called ADR called my husband, claiming he has a XXXX debt that needs to be taken care of. Said that it had to be taken care of right then, or he would be taken to court. No notification or prior notice had been sent by this company. They called my phone the following day, and then refused to speak to me because I am the wife, and not the debt holder. After multiple times of being hung up on by the lady who spoke with my husband and her supervisor, he finally explained to me. Claimed it was a debt from 2002, almost 20 years ago. Said I had to pay at least XXXX TODAY, or a judgement would be filed against us. He was extremely rude ( I was not nice back ), telling me that he was XXXX, and I would not talk to him in that way, that I needed to respect my elders. He called me a XXXX, because he cut me off before I had a chance to explain what I was saying. I was driving and taking my mom to a doctor 's appointment and he told me I was making excuses to not pay. It was an overall horrible conversation, and I can't find anything legit about this company. They've called from multiple numbers, and none of the numbers bring any information up.

Person claiming to be from the National Mediation and arbitration from XXXX Georgia tried to collect an outstanding medical debt for an XXXX XXXX visit on XX/XX/2011 for the amount of {$440.00}. They said that I had to pay the amount of risk being sent to court by the end of the business day. That according to a new law that Trump passed, unless I took care of it today I would risk the amount affecting my taxes. When I asked for the account number or a copy of what was happening on paper they stressed that they couldn't do that and it had to be handled today. The only ref. number they gave me was XXXX. and a call back phone number of XXXX ext. XXXX. I spoke to two people a woman with the last name XXXX and a man named XXXX XXXX. I contacted my Insurance to cross reference the date and see if they had any medical claims with that date. They did not. The insurance contacted the hospital and the hospital also did not have any records of service on that date and also said that the " National mediation and arbitration " from XXXX Georgia was not a collection agency they use.

A representative name XXXX from a company name ADR Group called my mother in law and said I was being sued and going to jail and that I have a debt to pay.

The second rep name XXXX said I had to pay a credit card debt. I asked what was the name of the company and he said XXXX. I said I do n't have or had a credit card name XXXX. I said what is the phone number to the company, how much do I owe, and what is the account number. XXXX gave me account number that turns out to be bogus. He would n't give me the phone number or tell me the balance owed or when I alleged got this card. So I XXXX premier phone number. I gave them the alleged credit card number and my social. And the representative from premier said I do n't have a account with them and that the company was fraud scam and do n't pay them anything. I said I did n't and immediately called ftc.

I have recieved many many many robo calls from various numbers - threatening action, and that a complaint has been filed against me, a claim has been opened, contact your attorney, etc ... on my cell, home, and parents number. Never anything in writing, nothing on my credit report, never giving a company name. All calls are either fully recorded messages or what seem to be partially recorded. Today I recieved a call that went to the main switchboard of my work - the call/message was relayed to me by the person answering the phone at the front desk! This is a new job that I have only been at for 8 months and the only place my main work number has been updated associated to me is my online XXXX XXXX profile, and my online XXXX XXXX profile. To me this means these sites were either hacked, or personal information is being shared/sold to unscrupulous companies. Even unfounded these types of calls impact my reputation at my place of employment given the harsh language and threating messages.

I received a letter XXXX XXXX, 2017 regarding intention to file a lawsuit about a payday loan debt that I have no knowledge of and do not owe. I disregarded the letter because it appeared to be a scam. There was a company but no signatures or any legal information or debt verification. I did however contact the company by phone and asked for specifics. I was not given any information and the individual was rude and very threatening about suing me if I didnt pay {$510.00} out of {$900.00} they said was owed. I was contacted again by text XX/XX/2017 stating legal documents were to be served and I needed to get in touch with them. When I contacted the number to let them know they had inaccurate information the person on the phone was very rude and would not provide anyone I could talk to above them. I do not know whatever this debt is. I have been a victim of identity theft in the past and I have evidence and report number. I do not want this company to harass me any longer

a person from a company called ADR called and said they were trying to collect a debt on behalf of health management associates in the amount of XXXX. I said I didn t have a problem paying this but I wanted more information because I did n't know if they were scamming me. they I asked for the name of the original debt he said he did n't have that info and it was against the hippa law to give that info out. he said I was sent several notices and I said they were sending them to the wrong address and would they send me something to the correct address and he said no if I did n't pay this today they would be moving forward and sueing me for the full amount of over XXXX so I used my cc card and paid them. I asked him to tell me what doctor or hospital this was for he said he did n't have this information. I called them back and tried to get the name of the company and the woman hung up on me. I think I got scammed and I 'm in the process of disputing the charge.

Hi, I submitted a complaint on XXXX XXXX, 2016. The case number is : XXXX. Today I received another call from the same person, XXXX XXXX, stating he worked with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which does n't exist as a debt collection company ). He again threatened my husband to show up at my house and his place of employment with the sheriff. He again stated that he had summons to serve and if he did n't receive a stand down order my husband would face penalties. Once again, he did n't acknowledge that he was a debt collector. He did not leave the name of the company he supposedly represents. The company name is XXXX XXXX XXXX Services. I 've already asked them to stop calling my number. They still keep calling. The last time they threatened to show up, they never came. We 've never received anything in the mail from them and we do n't even know what they are trying to collect for. I just want it to stop.

This company called " The XXXX XXXX '' sent me a letter about 1 week and a half ago. They said I had a debt that totaled over {$1700.00}. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I did belong to in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. I seem to remember cancelling my XXXX 's membership in XX/XX/XXXX, because I wasn't using it anymore. I thought that was the end of it, until this " XXXX '' sent me the above mentioned letter. " XXXX '' went on to say in this letter that they would except a one time payment of {$340.00} or 12 monthly payments of {$38.00}. They went on to say that if I didn't arrange and agree to a payment, then they would file a XXXX form against me with the I.R.S. I'm willing to settle the debt from XXXX 's but I think this " XXXX XXXX '' might be bogus and therefore a scam.

They left a message saying they had something ( they did n't get specific ) attached to my social security number and would take legal action if I did n't return the phone call. I find it interesting that they would n't reveal their company name. Professional companies give information not shady messages. The ONLY way I will EVER communicate with them is if they mail me a copy of the original debt, who they are collecting for, a copy of a contract or payment agreement, and dates of payments I did make. Until I receive the above information they are not to call me.
