Shortly after I wrote this report, the calls stopped! I did receive 2 or 3 letters from them in the mail. These letters included amounts and account numbers for a student loan. I do have a couple of student loans, but the information did not match. I ignored it and I never heard from them again. More recently, I was looking at my credit report and saw DCS on there. I filed a dispute with the credit bureau and it was removed!
I never so much questioned if they were real or not, but the legitimacy of their collection practices. For them to call my neighbor and employer posing someone I know is scary. I did not know this was a bill collector, until they finally called my home phone and I got the company name on my caller ID. When I saw the note on my front door with the same name and number that called my work, I was absolutely terrified. I thought this Louis guy new where I lived and was stalking me. It wasn't until several months later that I talked to my neighbor and found out that they had called her and asked her to leave the note, which is still very bizarre collection practices. The way they replied to my boss told me that they knew this was not being handled in a legal manner. They knew that I knew it too. I'm so glad that I am done with them!

Although not a typical response from a debt collector - the fact that he has given you TERRIBLE ADVICE and has accused of defaulting on a Student loan - he is a debt collector and cannot be trusted.
