On Friday, May 2, 03, I recieved a voice mail, at approx, 10:32 AM. Something like this.. "Yes this is Frank Jones, Mr._____,You need to call me TODAY. Your claim number is XXXXXXX and I will need your "SOCIAL". GOOD BYE " (e was very rude)

I was able to retrieve the voice mail at about 2:00 pm. I was stunned,shocked, and very curious. I had NO outstanding bills and a good credit rating. Who could this be.

I Tryed calling MR 'Frank Jones every 1/2 hr, till about 5:30 PM. I always got his voice mail. I left a voice mail at 2:30 and one at 5:30.

On May 5 about 9:45 AM , I was able to reach him.He asked me, if I was ________, I said yes, he asked is your ssn --- -- ----. and I said yes. Frank Jones said it was about an 850.00 outstanding debt from 1989 from Mont. Wards. He was willing to take a reduction of 500.00 over the phone if I would settle right then.

I said , Unless my X wife signed my name to a MW credit Card APP, then I never had an account with MW.
I told him I would get back with him, I would talk to the X and find out.

May 6, He called me approx 4:30 pm. He wanted to settle now. I said , I am driving and can't talk now. he said call me asap before 8:00 pm.

My X said she swore we never did have an account, I remembered in 89,we never recieved Past due letters from Wards etc.etc.
It made sense.

May 6, 5:35 pm , I call old Franky boy back, (or is he Josh ?) I told him in no way was I going to mail him any money, because I never had a M. Wards acc. He said he had 'my profile here with some payments you made.' I insisted He prove it with signed doc. of Me on checks, cred. apps. etc.

The conversation deteriorated with raised voices,(no swearing), I insisted he 'prove I had an account. All he could say was,thats ok,you are in denial, we won't go away, and we will get our money, and it will be a lot more than 500.00 ,good day. (hung up)

I will give updates, in future, And call the A. General.

Another CAMCO "roadblock"

#2Consumer Suggestion

Mon, May 19, 2003

I believe I spoke with the same "gentleman" as Dean from Richardson, TX. People, never be intimidated by someone on the other end of the phone line, especially when it comes to your personal information. A friend of mine referred me to another consumer "must have" tool...www.BudHibbs.com I never realized how much I did not know about creditors and what they and CAN NOT do.
