I received my one and only call from these people 1/6/2011. I spoke with a Mrs Thompson who stated that this was regarding a civil suit involving my social security number. I asked her to send a copy of the original debt, and she stated that I already knew all about it and that the previous debt collector had sent me letters(I never received any). She told me that if payment or an arrangement was not made that she was going to tell the arbitration department to proceed with the lawsuit and that papers had been filed on 1/5/2011. I told her I would only be able to pay half but not until the 28th. She stated that payment had to be post dated with a check or credit card. I asked her to hold on while I got my debit card and then said i don't really like to give the number out over the phone. She then said that by refusing to give her the debit card number it was going in as a refusal to pay. I told her I never refused to pay and then she proceeded to argue with me saying why are you arguing with me I am not your girlfriend. I then asked to speak to a supervisor, she said she was one. I asked to speak to her boss, she said no, and I said you are refusing to let me speak to your boss? She said yes. I proceeded to argue with her until she said hold on let me see if anyone wants to speak with you. She came back to the line and said I would have to speak to her bosses voice mail. I said fine. She said how do you intend on handling this debt? I said I want to speak to your boss first, she said if you think you're going to get me fired you're not and then said she was not going to waste her bosses time with me and that the call was going nowhere and she was going to tell them to proceed with the lawsuit. I hung up and called right back and asked the operator to put me thru to Mrs Thompsons boss. Mrs Thompson came back on the line and said I would not be speaking with anyone else in the department but her and that I needed to quit playing on the phone. Did I mention today was the first day I have ever heard from these people? And now they are suing me? Is this crap even legal?
