Complaint Review: Bay Area Credit Service

I was contacted by mail saying that (my minor child) had an outstanding debt for a phone bill to SBC. It stated that he owed $1063.00. However, they would settle for $315.00. I knew this was a phony, (my son has never had a phone in his name, nor have I put a phone in his name), but I followed up on it.

I called them to get the scoop. Gave them the case # and the first thing they wanted to know was his SSN. No, I am not giving you that info over the phone. So they read me his last 4 digits. They were legit but I gave no further info. They told me I would have to write a legal statement stating that he is a minor child and he has never had a phone and it would be turned over to an investagator and send the bill with it.

Don't fall for for garbage like this and let idiots take you for a ride. Tomorrow, I am going to call AT&T to check things out with them. Then, I am calling them back. It won't be pretty.

Remember.......It is best that a person be proper and intelligent, so that one may accomplish what one desires...rather than what someone else wants to abuse.
