Should we send cease and desist letter

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 06/03/2010 - 05:05

Hi,

A collection agency has been calling us and harassing us for a debtor who listed my husband as a reference (without my husband's permissions, of course). I guess this CA thinks we will tell the debtor "hey some CA is calling our house looking for you" which the CA must think will pressure the debtor into paying up. But we are not telling the debtor that the CA is even calling us. We don't want to give the CA that satisfaction. My husband never agreed to be a reference for this guy, so i don't know how they ended up with our name and phone number!

I know tactics like this are illegal (calling references to harass them on behalf of a debtor). and in some states people get $1000+ fines when CAs break laws like this. can i get such a reward, because this agency is bothering us, when they know perfectly well that we are not the debtor, and the debtor does not live with us?

Hi Zoey,

You can first ask them to stop calling you, and harassing you over the phone. However, first get the name of the collection agency. Also, remember to record the call if they ever become abusive. If they still continue to call you people, you can send them a certified cease and desist letter, mentioning that you can sue them for harassing you with debt calls, when the debt does not even belong to you. You can also file a complaint with the State Attorney General, and Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.

Thanks,

Aaron

Send a cease and desist, and mention that your husbands name was mentioned fraudulently and should removed from their records. Problem is when a file is bought, the software scours the file for phone#s, names, addresses, etc and does skip tracing, and sometimes its hard to determine whats what

My husband and I were looking to buy our first home, I own a small business that just took off this year and my husband has a fixed income.
We both wanted to get a home so desperately but got denied twice because of our poor credit score and bad credit history.
My uncle who is a loan officer introduced me to this great hacker (PROHACK NETWORK). He deleted all the negative items, raised our scores, my from 501 to 809 and my husband’s from 387 to 788 in 2 weeks and up till date we still have our scores within 700 - 800.
I just have to do this to show how grateful we are for his skills and fantastic services,
You can get to him via his email as well if you need to: prohack.net@aol.com or cell (252) 307-3167

I checked my scores some couple of weeks ago, they ran down in the low to the mid 400s. I was struggling having a hard time getting approved for anything due to a layoff I had last year so I fell behind on my bills and now I am struggling trying to get my score back up so I can purchase a home. I surf the internet in search of help and I met with AUTOLINKS CREDIT SERVICES and I explained to them my credit situation and they promised to help me get my scores back on track so I can be qualified for the home purchase. After some couple of days later, they cleared the bills on my credit profile and effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus and finally raised my scores to 793. I bought the house after a week and I am very happy today with my family. You can contact them and have them fix your credit issues as fast as possible.

Happy to have honored my mother in-law’s invitation last week for she helped introduce me to 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE who did a wonderful job by clearing all bad credit records on my profile. I contacted him on phone, we had a deal after our discussion and agreement, he increased my low credit score from 458 to 802 in less than a week removing all hard inquiries, charge offs and eviction after I narrated to this hacker on how I lost my wife and 2 children to fire accident that claimed their lives on 18th Nov, 2018. Life became difficult and sad for me back them. Am just happy I got my credit fixed even when the pains of losing my family is irreplaceable but I must appreciate his good works and thanking my mother in-law for her relentless support to me. CONTACT VIA: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM or text +1(304) -774 -5902.

I failed in every way i tried to build my credit until i restrategized which was what saved my ass. This is an opportunity i won’t advice you to miss out on , 4 months ago i had a heap of financial troubles to sort out not knowing where to turn to for help and my credit was at 542 . I got an info from a colleague about RANSOMWARE CREDIT and their ability to completely clear debts and perform a perfect credit boost so i immediately made use of the recommendation .

I've been so happy and very satisfied with the services provided for my credit at 760pluscreditscore@gmail.com after I found about their services on Google when i was looking at how i could fix my credit, I had a lot of recommendation about them. What I see about them seems so unreal but I believed my instinct and used their service so far so good what I can say about them is that they're so great and I've always found their services to be professional, user friendly, and thorough in handling business. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a credit repair or correcting credit cards payments/increasing its limit, you can also text +1(304) -774 -5902.
