Warning: Long
Well there is nothing I like more than something slimy oozing out from beneath a rock.
Friday I had an odd message on my answering machine from a Mr. James Cameroon (949-743-1140) asking for my attorney information so he could fax some avidavits to my attorney. The caller was quite insistent that either my attorney or myself return his call, or as Mr. Cameroon said, "Good luck" at the end of his call. I immediately called the number and reached someone from India (I believe, based on his accent) calling himself Michael Robinson, stating that he represented Hopkins Law Firm. The dude told me that he needed my attorney's information. I asked him why. The jerk told me that he needed to fax information to my attorney regarding a pay day loan.
I told the jerk that I had filed Chapter 7 two years ago and all my debts were discharged and that it was against the law for him to be trying to collect on the debt. Mr. Know-it-all stated that he did not see where I had filed BK and that I was still obligated to pay the debt.
I was pissed by now and told the guy that I was going down to the court house and was going to file a complaint. The jerk hung up on me so I called him back. He started yelling at me to listen to him and I told him that he had best listen to me since he was in violation of the Federal BK Laws.
He yelled at me to shut up and listen and told me that he was not trying to collect on the pay day loan because the loan was still waiting to be disbursed! WTF? I was speechless. I asked him, You are trying to collect on a loan that I never received? He again asked for my lawyer information and I told him I had filed pro se in June 2005 and that I was discharged in October 2005. I thanked him for giving me his phone number, name and law firm. I also told him about the "threat" I had recorded on my answering machine and he told me I was a liar.
I ended the conversation by telling him that he could go suck a duck since he was trying to collect on a debt that was discharaged through bankruptcy. I hung up.
I am not having any luck trying to tie this phone number down to anything. At one time I had the URL to a web site with phone numbers of shady companies hiding behind "anonymous" phone numbers. Does anyone have that URL?
As a side note: I do remember a long time ago checking out a payday loan place that was being serviced outside of the US. I was horrified at their repayment plans and told them I was not interested in the loan. I received numerous calls asking why I was rejecting their payday loan. I suspect this is the same company. THANK GOD I changed checking accounts before I filed for BK.
