Punky_Power Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi all,So I am not sure how to proceed with this one. I've been reading all kinds of things that have left me confused (as usual...lol) So this "Gregory S. Foster" "law firm" has been calling my parents home for quite some time now, not quite a year. I have never once recieved any kind of mail from them, and I have yet to see any information reported by them on my credit report, which leads me to believe that they are trying to collect on some zombie debt. I've been reading a lot of reports for 800-notes and such websites that have also lead me to the conclusion that there is something fishy going on here. I would love to get them to just stop (without having to speak to them...) and I have no idea what "debt" of mine they are trying to collect on as I have zero information from them. Should I send them a cease and decist letter? Should I send them a DV? Should I just ignore them? No really sure how to proceed with this one =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BV80 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 @Punky_Power Is this law firm leaving messages on either a landline or cell phone? If so, what do they state in those messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punky_Power Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 @BV80 They are calling a land line (my parents and my "legal" address).I don't recall exactly what they say but it's to discuss a "very important matter" I can't remember if they say legal or not. The latest call referenced their "file number" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BV80 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 @Punky_Power Do you have any debts that are within the SOL for W?I Or that were incurred when you lived at that "legal address"? (You didn't state where your parents live.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punky_Power Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 @BV80 I probably have stuff that is SOL or very close. I've been working on getting things taken care of, and this is a mystery to me. I'm doing damage control from the last 6-10 years and I don't like not knowing what they want. If it is something that I can legally make them stop calling about then I would like that to happen. I do have one thing that I incurred here in the last few years, but it is being taken care of.There are quite a few other things that I have since paid off, so I really do not have any idea what this is about. I haven't seen one thing from them on my credit report (which I check every single month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BV80 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 @Punky_Power The only way to find out what they want is to talk to them. If they believe they're calling the address at which you live, but have never sent you a collection letter that contains a notice of your validation rights, then they've violated the FDCPA. If you choose to talk to them, I would do so only long enough to find out about the debt so that you would know if it's outside the SOL or not. Once you know about the debt, you can decide whether to DV or send a cease and desist letter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
