Comment:
I have recently been communicated by a collection agent who presumably been hired to follow up payments I needed to make. He called me on Friday July 10, 2009 at about 12:30 to tell me that I needed to pay for services that was given to me for a surgery ( I assume it was an eye surgery I had at the beginning of the year). He tried to verify my address and though most of it was right he didn't have the right apartment number and I corrected it for him. Right away he asked me to give him my credit/debit card etc. At the time I was driving back home with a disabled son from a rehabilitation hospital and I told him to call me back after one hour so that we can discuss the issue. He did. I told him that I am not aware of any default in any payment and that this had never happened during the 11 years that I lived in the US. At any rate I told him that I can not give my particulars to a person who contacts me on the phone and that I needed more information, especially in a written form, about payments he is trying to pursue. He authoritatively told me that I don't need to and he literally threatened me if I don't give it to him. So we failed to communicate and we both hang up. He once again calls me Monday July 13 at about 8:15 on my way to a rehab hospital and once again threatened that if I don't pay by 5:00 pm that he has all my personal information and even mentioned the last four digits of my social security number and that he would use all that to harm me. When I asked him if he had written any note about this debt, he said that he had written six of them. He may be right but if he had sent them to a mistaken address am I to be blamed? I asked my wife if she had seen any letter to that effect, she said no.
So in desperation here I am telling my story, I don't know to whom, please help me find an office or organization that can help me live in peace from a person who sounded desperate about this issue.
