For several weeks I have been getting messages to call 1-800-466-5259. I tried on several occasions to call. I would get messages it was a non working number or a funny noise. For the last week the message has said to call the number regarding, the name they mentioned was my deceased son. He has been gone now for one year nine months. Finally, this morning I got through. They say the name so fast when they answered that you could bearly understand them. I tried to ask what this was about and that I had tried to contact them and their number wasn't working she just kept talking rudely to me asking my number. I told her, she said this is in regard to stating my sons name. I said please don't be rude I'm trying to talk to you. She said I'm not being rude. I want to know who this call is in reference to. She stated his name and was very nasty. She got me angry and " I said he is dead". She said we will take him off the list. Very rudely. As I tried to find out what this was about she hung up on me. I waited about 15 minutes and called back to get the name of the company. When she answered she said the name, I was going ask more questions and she hung up again.
When my son died I changed his address to mine.When all his info came in I sent death certificates to everyone. This holiday season was hard enough to get through let alone dealing with phones like that and still not knowing what it is all about. I have personally never had to deal with collections, now I understand what people are talking about. There are laws regarding collections, it is to bad they are not able to enforce them. The state should make it easier to make complaints and bust up the organizations.
