Commonwealth Financial Systems IDENTITY THEFT / IDENTITY SALE Dickson City Pennsylvania
I am receiving several calls from agents in PA representing Commonwealth Financial Systems claiming that I have unsettled debts worth over 700$ with certain medical facilities. They are unwilling to reveal the facility in question nor any other details, but offer a rebate in the settlement amount if I will to pay them over the phone using a credit card. On one of the calls I was **shocked** to hear an agent named David Mulley from 800-848-2170 (Extn-131) when he read out my SSN,date of birth and address. Soon after he briefly threatened to report my delinquencies to the Credit bureau and hung up. I am very worried how such agencies/people get our SSN and other details and make harassing calls or can use such information in STEALING IDENTITY. They need to be sued and penalized for FRAUD and HARASSMENT.

Hello James N S****,
Identity theft is no laughing matter and the law is on your side.
Here is what I suggest you do, when the collection agency calls back tell them that you are unaware of who you owe debt to and that you believe this was a case of identity theft. If they continue to be belligerent, take their phone number and name to the police department and file a report for harassment and identity theft. Tell them you want to prosecute.
The next thing I would suggest is to invest in credit monitoring and idenity protection. Try to go direct with transunion for your credit report (they are required to do it free once a year) and get in contact with lifelock for your identity protection.
The final lesson for today! When you were posting, there was a nice little guideline/rule that said "DO NOT sign your name, or include any e-mail addresses in the report". NEVER SIGN YOUR FULL NAME IN RIPOFFREPORT!
Next thing, no one enjoys that you double posted. Next time no one will respond.
