I just had to share this. I get a phone call yesterday morning at work. The man could hardly speak english. He asked for me (pronouncing my name wrong) He told me that his name was "Mr. Robinson" phone number 1-888-909-6789. He told me that I had a very serious situation here. I had 15 counts of check fraud against me. He asked for my attorney's name and number. I just listened and he said well you do know whats going to happend dont you? I said tell me. Are the cops going to show up at my work and take me away? He said well yes, but I'm here to help you. He told me that I had a balance of 2,150.00. (wouldnt tell me what they were for) Only that it was from US. Federal Bank. I said send me something in writing. He said well I dont think you want me to send you something that wouldnt be good. I said why not? He said well, this is a serious matter. I hung up on him...He called right back and said that "hanging up the phone is not going to do me any good" I hung up again. He called me back and he was screaming on the phone " YOU ARE STEALING" YOU ARE STEALING! I hung up again. He called back about 10 minutes later and wanted to talk to my supervisor. I gave him his name and he said well is ms. K**** there? I said I am her! He wanted to talk to my supervisor. I put him through. "Mr. Robinson" left a voicemail for my boss. I warned my boss what was going on and he said "well I hope he does me leave me a voicemail, I'm going to have fun with this".

My supervisor called him back----"Mr. Robinson" told my boss that he needed to sit me down and have a talk with me and explain what I have been doing...My boss is what is she doing. He said well she's going on the internet and getting payday loans and not repaying them back. Using your computers at work. He said SO! Well, shes been acused of internet wire fraud. He said really?!....

My boss asked the name of company he was calling from and he told my boss "that's not important". My boss said oh I think it is. He also informed the A$$HOLE that he had been recording the conversation. Mr. Robinson went balistic!!!! He hung up on my boss! Smile

My boss tried to call right back but they just hung up again. I called 1-888-909-6789 and some chick answered it "operator" I asked for the company name and she wouldnt tell me and she hung up! Smile

Tweety- that is TOO funny!! There are collection agencies that thrive on getting you upset and scared into paying something you may not owe.

I have worked with some CAs in the past with payment arangements, etc-they were nice and willing to work with me. I have also worked with some, am right now, that will threaten,scream,etc., but refuse to validate to show that they even have the debt..karen

Tweety...the best part is how you handled this (and your boss backing you like that)....there was a time when calls like this scared us all half to death!!!

You're right Volley...I can remember those days. My heart racing while they were threatening me. It's amazing how they can get to you..and you really believe they are legit! This site helped me know my rights..and things are sooo much better now.

Laura, I wonder how these people sleep at night...I would rather sort garbage with my bare hands than to call people and perpetrate myself as being above the law to scare people.

Here, here on the threats. Nicole Ray from Smith, Haynes & Watson left another nasty message on my voice mail this am. She said that she was getting the impression that I was avoiding her calls (really...ya think?) and that I had a matter that needed my attention. That she had a decision to make on my foul and that if she didn't hear from me by the 18th she was going to start verifying my employment. She also said she needed to talk to me or my counselor as soon as possible to get this matter taken care of. Heck, last time I spoke to this woman she said that she wasn't going to argue with me & said she was going to make this same decision on dec 21st & never call me back. Guess she changed her mind???? She's been calling back almost everyday & has even asked to speak to my supervisor. I paid Eastside Lenders 837.50 on a 600.00 loan and they aren't licensed in the state of NE. I can't believe the nerve these people have.

Sounds like a scare tactic.....Did you supervisor get any additional info from her saying what they are going to do? When "mr robinson" spoke to my supervisor he didnt say anything that was going to happen just that I needed sat down and talked to about what I had been doing......He hung up on my boss LMAO.

She never got to my supervisor. Everytime she asked for him I told her he was in a meeting. I won't even give his name. I fell out of my chair after reading what your boss did! Too funny! I've alerted the receptionist as to what was going on so hopefully her phone calls won't even come through to me anymore.

I really hope MTE doesnt start calling me now. Although I heard back from NCA after I had request a validation of the debt. Good, just keep telling her when she calls that he is not available. I've learned that if its THAT important they will leave a message.
