Just an update, I have yet to receive anything in writing from this company and amazingly enough they have not called me again or tried to reach me at my parents house. I have this funny feeling that since I told them that I did some homework on them and knew that they weren't on the "up and up" they have decided that in order to avoid a situation they would leave me alone. Show's how legit they really are don't you think?

You are totally within in your rights to sue. In fact, I refuse to talk to anyone over the phone. If they have a matter that requires serious attention, they can send me a note via certified mail, and I will respond accordingly.

Here is what I have found.. Most collection agencies are shams. They make money by bullyinging people over the phone or in writing, and it means nothing. For the few legit collection firms out there, that wish to sue you, they botch up the procedure so horribly, that anyone that knows a little bit, (just go to your local library for assistance, and look up your states court procedure rules) will get their case dismissed..

There is just no money in suing people that know that what they are doing. Most collections agencies make their money by buying debts for pennies on the dollar and trying to recover something by any means necessary. they typically break laws, and again, anyone in the know, can have the collection agencies owing them!!!

I can not comprehend why collection agencies always resort to abuse. My brother never paid his bills, and the collectors were always calling the house, harrasing everyone my parents, etc.. I was amazed at how rude they were!!! Did they really expect for someone to pay them?

there must be people out there that actually respond to this bullying. I sure dont. It makes me angry, and then I can educated and start writing letters. Just when it starts to get fun for me, they back off.

Its like the bully that never picks on anyone their own size.

Earlier this morning the phone rang. The caller ID said "Atty L Hecker" and the number was 609 570 3039. I said "Hello" a couple of times but there was no response.

Apparently this happens often, according to what I found via Google!

If you are on the do-not-call-list, they can call you. BUT they cannot call you and abandon the call repeatedly. This is also called "War Dialing"; why, I don't know. Why would someone call you if they have nothing to say? This is also sometimes a result of computers going out of whack. But you CAN go to FCC's website and file a complaint of harassment and/or to your state's attny general's office and file a COMPLAINT. War Dialing is AGAINST THE LAW and you can, at least, get revenge on this in this way!!!! Keep a log of how many times this happens and file a complaint. It's guaranteed to put a giant poochy lip on them when they get the call from the authorities. I understand there's some huge fines associated with this!!! HeeHee! I've done it to them before. I'm TIRED of harassment phone calls and people that call and say nothing!!!!!!!
