Harassment/Ignorance/Paid by % collected
I have been getting calls from IC Systems for the last 3 months now. The first call of the morning when I am trying to get my Grandchildren off to school start off at 8Am. I don't answer. Then comes another at like 10:00 I finally answer and they ask for me, I identify myself and then I am asked if I PLAN to make payment on this account. I tell them NO, that I DO NOT since I do not believe that I owe that amount of money. This is for a bill from E-Bay. I listed a few things and nothing sold, yet they are trying to collect 5 hundred and something dollars. I explained to them that I asked E-Bay to make an arrangement with me back when I got a cash advance loan and they refused, now I don't have any extra money to wheel and deal with. I explained that I was attempting to sell the stuff of E-Bay because I NEED the money so badly. I was selling things that were very precious to me left by my Sister to me when she passed away in "01". Their comment? "Not my problem". You have to pay this "or else". I said okay, "I'll take the or else". "EXCUSE ME"? this woman said. I said "yeah" do what you gotta do cuz I'm done talking to you about it. Now, I just don't answer the phone when I see it come up and have just mailed them a cease and desist letter. Let them call me after I get the confirmation that they have gotten my letter and I will call The Federal Trade Commission AND the Florida Attorney General's Office (I have a friend there) then we'll see who will be in an "or else" position. If any of you need a copy of a cease and desist letter you can find it about . com. (don not leave the space between about and . I did that so that it doesn't appear as a link). ALSO, these employees are paid a percentage of what they collect so of course they are going to fight, fight, fight to get YOUR money as it then becomes theirs. I am not a "bill dodger", I just feel that E-Bay could have done more to help me out in a bad situation and they simply didn't care. Another example of greed in the corporate world. Like they'll go out of business without my $500.00 Give me a break. I need it to put food in my Grandchildren's mouth, not to make a payment on my Cadillac Escalade or Viper or even my "vacation home in Malibu". This economy NEEDS to turn around or else we need a modern day Robin Hood... any volunteers??? Have a blessed day all and please, use that cease and desist letter maybe we can get IC Systems employees in the unemployment line. Good Luck to all. I will update after confirmation of receipt of my letter to them.
