This company has been calling my home 4-5 times a day for several months. I assumed they were a solicitor and did not answer. Finally they left a message stating "this is not a solicitor, we need you to call us ASAP". I did a google search and found out they are a collection agency. It scared me! However, i know I have a great credit score and have never paid a bill late much less gone into collections.
The next time the they called I answered. They asked for "John Doe". I recognized the name as an acquaitance of my boyfriend's that he hadn't seen in years. We live next to a National Park and we had bumped into this guy while hiking one day. We invited him to come over for dinner. He told us that he had received an inheritance and was using the money to travel for a few years. He showed up again a month later. He said he had lost his ATM card in Colorado and his bank would not send a replacement to "general delivery" at the post office. He asked if he could use my PO Box number and I allowed him to do so. He received the ATM card a week later and that was the end of that. We saw him a few more times but heard he had gone to jail for an alcohol related offense. A half dozen pieces of mail from his bank came a few months after the last time we saw him. I marked the envelopes "not at this address" and returned them. I have no connection with this person other than the fact that he used my PO Box number one time. He is not related to me. He has never lived with us. We barely even know him. I explained this to ER solutions. They didn't call for a few weeks, but now the calls have started again.
Why are they allowed to call me after I have explained this to them?
