I got a call today from the Rephen Law Firm. The lady spoke so fast and I was so scared by her, I finally told her she had to slow down so I could write down what she was telling me. She said I owed on these two checks from 2005. I told her I would look for the proof she said I needed and call her tomorrow (12/15/10) I did have two unhonored checks in 2005 that she is talking about. I heard nothing about these checks until 2007 when some collection agency originally called me and I couldn't remember what happened after that while I was on the phone.
After digging thru papers for 45 minutes, I decided to look up the Rephen Law Firm on computer and read all this stuff. Then I relaxed and now remember that when I did pay these two checks off, I put it on a credit card.
So I don't know what these people are doing calling me but when the payoff information I am giving it to state and federal agencies with a complaint.
The woman was rude, talked so fast I couldn't understand anything she was saying, she didn't slow down until I told her if she didn't slow down so I could write this down, I wasn't doing anything about looking. She told me I was in a lot of trouble and she would suggest that I pay the amount double the initial debt before it got any worse for me.
I am glad I found these posts - it gives me a little peace knowing I probably did pay it already. I just have to prove it.
Any advice, please post it for me. Thx
