Recieve a call from this Collection Agency, saying I owed $17.00 to AT&T for a unpaid bill at a address I lived at 4 years ago. I told them I will call AT&T myself and talk to them. She said they will only send refer you to us a***n. I asked her to send me the bill, she said we don't send out bills. I told her, and I quote: "I'm not paying you sh-t and not to call me a***n unless it's from an attorney suing me for the $17.00". I don't owe AT&T anything.
(800) 496-8916
Those people called me saying that AT&T hire them to collect their money???!!!I ask them what was all that about and they said we are a collection agency and you own AT&T some money, I said from where, they told me about an adress I had 4 yrs a go..I was unsure because I always pay my bills on time, then they said you better pay now before we send you to collect..?? I said collect??!!.. so what are you then. They respond we are a pre collect office, so if you pay now you wont be sent to the collect office where you will have a bad credit righ away.I was like ok I will pay now, since I did not wanted to hsve a bad credit, so they took my information, like House adress, credit card inf and my phone..They wanted me to pay with Visa or Master card since American Express do not work that well with them, I said I got no other card, so they said they will charge my card for 90.00 dollars not 80.00 as they said in the beguining since they had to charge paper work fees and they where based in Georgia..Today I decided to google their # and a big bunch of reports come out..so I guess they are only triying to steal money from every body, Because I called AT&T and they told me is all a lie, because my credit is in good standing with them and if they where to send a collect agency, they wont wait 4 yrs to do so. The guy from the Thieves collecting agency that took all my information including my SS# was Justin Nolan.
