Not once, not twice, but EIGHT times, in one day, up to 11 o'clock at night,those people called a poor 85 year old woman, demanding she get caught up on her payment for Lowes. When we called to speak to a supervisor a man by the name of Steven said "The supervisors name is Ethan Lawson" When I called for him the next day the same man said there was no "Ethan Lawson" that worked there as a supervisor. And they call and call and call....We keep telling them we made arrangements with the store threw customer care to pay her bill. Do they listen? No. Do they speak english? No. Finally I contacted someone who spoke english and had it arranged that no one outside the USA call this poor woman...FINALLY! some who spoke english!!!!
do like i do get caller id and if you dont know who it is dont answer!very simple,mune says im home all the time i screen my calls and if your a telamarketer take my number off your list and stop calling here!most of the time they will just hang up,if they leave a nasty message call the police and let them take a report,get yourself 2-3 reports get a laywer and sue them(the caller and the company he works for)but caller id is what you want and if you know its a telamarketer(you will be awere by the number and name)do like i do pick up and hang it back up(they hate that or better then that pick up and blow a wistle when they answer or a air horn)have fun thats what i do.But if you owe the money you do need to pay your bills,I pay all my bills and im never late,so there is no reason for a telamarkter to call me and i make that knowen to them.When you get in better shape every 2 years or so i call my creadit cards and 1-ask for a increase and 2-ask for a lower rate my 1st call today saved me 5% on the rate and they increased my account by $ 1,710.00 not a lot but better then nothing.

I paid GE off $15 bucks at a time throwing some extra when I could. I think it should be illegal for them to call 10x a day whether or not u speak to them

This concerns my former Walmart account. I paid this account off at Walmart and had it closed after I paid it off. Walmart shows that I have a $0.00 balance. GE Money Bank says that I owe $1700.00 on a closed account from over 2 years ago. Walmart says that I don't owe any more money. GE Money Bank says that they don't recognize Walmart as an authorized payment center and I was only supposed to pay THEM! They still say that I owe them the $1700. This is the amount with interest from an original debt of $317. Plus to top it all off, they somehow got my company cell phone number. I've been getting 7 to 20 calls per day from India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Lesotho, and Burkina Faso. This has showed up on our cell phone billing. We have international billing, mainly because we do business with companies from Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, France, and Germany and those numbers can be traced to where our clients are at. The other numbers are always unlisted or out of service. Just goes to wonder why 'Americans are out of work'!
i cant stand getting calls the day after my payment was due from some indian dude trying to collect on a bill. its not like i was 10 days past due or have had a history of non payment. its bull crap and is harrassment.
First off...Pay your bills everyone. Secondly, customer care at the store has no way of documenting the credit account that the bank holds. As for the other responces...Only 2 months behind??? That's a pretty big deal for any credit, considering most accounts are charged off at 6 months, repos are at 3 months behind, as well as foreclosure filings. As for the bankruptcy...Collectors can call you every day until you file, they are not forbidden by law to call you until you actually file.
I had a number of similar calls. But the American collections department isn't much better. They are very hostile, use fear tactics and never answer questions directly. Was called 8:30 this morning by the collections department, yelled at. Told I refused to pay and would put down as such. Concerned. I asked what refusal to pay meant in this case (meaning what is the technical or legal meaning of the term in the context of this call). The guy flipped and shouted he already told me what it meant, that I had an agreement to pay and didn't pay. He then hung the phone up on me. I was really ticked off. Especially since I was only two months behind, and it was because I recently changed jobs. I wanted to learn more about my options, but wasn't given the opportunity. It was pay, or get marked down.

i just got a call from them myself. the number shown on my phone was a cincinnati number which, upon hitting redial, elicited a recording saying it was not a working number. the caller had left a voicemail message with a different number for me to call but his english was so heavily accented (seemingly indian accent) i couldn't understand what he was saying. i did hear him announce himself as steven from ge moneybank. i am presently in process of bankruptcy and they are forbidden by law from calling anyway as i have twice informed them. not that i care, but it does indicate a pattern.
