this company contacted me saying i owed $689.00 for a on-line loan from march of 2008.
they first contacted a refrence contact & informed this contact that i owed a bill for on-line loan & gave them the amount n which they say i owed. they even asked this person if they would pay that day, they gave their contact# . so once i got the message i tried to call but could never get thru. then 2days later i rec'd a call from this company @ MY JOB, a representive of this company named keith simms. my supervisor infrmed mr simms that their is no personnal calls allowed there & kindly instrcted mr simms to contact me @ home. he threatened my supervisor & told her he would call any time he wanted there & as many times as he wanted & hu on her. she recvd about 5 more calls. i contacted these people & infrmed them of fdcpa & they are in serious violation by continuing to call my job. the calls to my job then stopped, but then the calls to my home were outragious!! this company called my home 108 times n a 5day period. i finaly got n contact with another representive of this company called IVY FOSTER, i could never get any complete info on this so called loan & at this point i was so scared by their tactics i just agreed to pay i paid all they say i owed for a supposed $300 loan- i paid total of $689.00. they refuse to give me the owner or president of thier company name, they insist they are a law firm & attorneys-really??? do attorneys from law firms really act this way. they all have the same accent & they do not provide toll free number, their phne is a new york, ny prefix & everytime you call they hang up on you at least 5 to 7 times. i believe they may have a new york prefix but calls are being forwrded to nigeria or somewhere like that. these people need to be stopped i was going thru some serious health issues & this keith simms who is supposed to be a supervisor threatened to sue & they would take over 8k from me x the time they were done with me & he yelled & threatened, if anyone really owes a debt they have a right to knw what it is!! to this day i still dnt know who/what i paid. these people need to be stopped!!!
