Wilber And Associates Collection Agency Mail Fraud misrepresenting collection agency as attorney and claiming to collect money for Automobile Club Bloomington, Illinois
Received a letter from above company asking for over $250 to be sent to them, payable to AAA. Don't have the letter anymore, as I turned it into the local postal office to be investigated for fraud.
Contacted the number on the letter and gave three different people the reference number on their letter. After waiting on hold, they disconnected me all three times.
I called back a third time and asked for a physical address where I could bring them the cash. They would not give it to me and eventually hung up the phone.
I received a phone call a few minutes later that went to my voice mail to call them, which I did. I finally got through to someone who said he was Mr. Wilber. I asked for any evidence to prove to me that there was an accident claim (which there is none according to my insurance company who never asks for money to be paid to "AAA" Mr. Wilber could not give any evidence about a claim other than to say that there was no police report! Duh! There was no accident!
This is mail fraud and should be stopped!

I had an almost identical experience with the company today. A very rude woman named Ms. Hume left a "confidential" message on my answering machine saying I had a bad debt to State Farm (I don't). She threatened to have my driver's license and registration revoked if I didn't pay the debt. I called the number (800)313-5169 ext 191 and spoke to someone who was snippy with me and finally transferred me to Ms. Hume. She claimed she never threatened me (despite my having it on tape) and then hung up on me. I called back and got a Mrs. Cunningham who transferred me to her "supervisor", a Nick Tripoli, who was away from the phone and would return my call if I left a message. I have not heard back from this man as of yet. I left another message saying that if they continued to threaten me I would report them to the district attorney's office. I have not heard back since.
