I have received numerous debt collection calls from this company for a Mr Black who must have once had my new phone number. People these days change their phone numbers like they change their shoes! The automated calls state that if I am not that person, to press a number 2 and I will not receive any further calls. Unfortunately this does not work, as I have done this repeatedly and I am still getting calls. In received one at 8am on Saturday morning when I was sound asleep and then again on the following Wednesday at PM. I have received these calls at various times of the day and night as well as when I am at work. I use this line for business and have already had new cards made and annual advertising paid for.
This last time, instead of pressing 2, I pressed one and let the person on the other end of the phone know my feelings ( I am putting this politely) no cussing or anything vulgar, but in no uncertain terms.
I am going to document each of these phone calls, time, date and who I am speaking to and then I am going after this agency for damages. I have been assured on several occasions the calls would stop, but they do not. I am sending a certified cease and desist letter out tomorrow. Would anyone like to be involved in a class action suit against them, please contact me through my local craigslist, Hampton roads, VA and search for "first national collection agency" in order to contact me. If there is an attorney interested in this class action please also contact me so we can determine the extent of the damages and amount of people involved. This kind of harassment has to stop!
