Here is another TRS story...
After weeks of having them hang up on me, because they wanted to talk to my wife, I finally get the guy to talk. I asked him what company he was calling from and the told me that he could not tell me. It was a FEDERAL LAW that prohibited him. I told him, Ok, you are calling from TRS, correct? He still denied. I asked him for the state where his company was operating out of and for a phone number. He gave me the following number 1-800-972-0599. I called it and it is a pay service. SMSVW.com, they will charge you $9.99 a month for thier "service".
I called him back, stupid bill collector, he gave me his telephone number. Told him I wanted to speak to his supervisor. After about 5 minutes of exchanges, he agreed to transfer me. He hung up on me. I called him back. He said he was "Sorry" for my being disconnected, I was then transfered to another person. Don't know if she was a supervisor or just a coworker. I was given the same run around. I did manage to convince this girl that I was really on the account that they were trying to collect on. Let's see, they call MY cell phone and ask for my wife. When I tell them that I am her husband, they hang up. No I find out that they could have spoken to me two months ago when they started calling?
What I really want to say to you is if you are given the number 800-927-0599, DO NOT CALL IT FROM YOUR CELL PHONE.
If anyone is feeling lonely and would like to harass a bill collector call Anthony Edwards of TRS at 800-472-2890. I'm sure he would like to hear how your day went or what color the grass in your front yard is, or even have someone just read him a few Bible verses.
