We received a call from an "attorney's" office for a PDL that we took out. The girl's name was Amber. I don't recall the "attorney's" name. She was very nice and I knew that we had taken out the loan and she informed me that she was the "last" step before "litigation". I set up a "good faith" payment of $250 for the following Friday. When someone else told me that I shouldn't let them take anything out of our account without something in writing, I decided to stop the payment and investigate a little further. When she found out the payment was stopped, then she called me and said she was sick of my games and she was not going to go any further with this and I had 15 minutes to call her back before further proceedings would take place. I didn't call her back and haven't heard back from her. When the amount tried to come through our account it came up under "Recovery 1". When I stopped it, they tried to put it back through under 2 different payments (trying to bypass my stop payment). 1 payment was for $1.50 the other was for $249.50 under the name of "Pay my bill". Any ideas on this?


Yep I kept it. I kept all messages from her. How would I go about filing a complaint? I'd be interested in making an extra 1000. That would be great! Especially since I hate being called names on a voicemail. It is irritating that she couldn't say that to me person to person. She had to leave me a vmail...

Amber called me back and left me another message (I had called and left her a message telling her not to call me and leave nasty messages on my phone). She said that she can leave whatever the heck (not the word she used) kind of message she wants because she is trying to collect money from "deadbeat" people who don't bother with what is right and just in the world and she is just trying to do her "job". She said she'll see me in court that she was sending our case for judgement.

You moght want to discuss this with an attorney. It seems to me that each and every message could be a seperate violation. It also seems that she may have acknowledged the fact that you called and requested that she not call you again and she did. It is best to put the request in writing and send it certified/return receipt requested but as she may have indicated in the message that she can call no matter what you say she may have actually admitted that you made the request. Her calling you back might just be another grand in your pocket. She may have enough violations to cover any debt you allegedly owe.
