Received a message from an Andrew Whittons (?) office, couldn't hear who the message was for, gave me a case number and that my name and social were associated with an accident and that I needed to call them to either handle or dispute the claims and the message would serve as my notification. First of all, I haven't been in an accident and second the number they called wasn't even mine, its just an extra phone we have and all calls go to voice mail, we check every other day or so. So, I called and someone just answered the phone "hello", no company name no formal greeting. I gave her the case number she stated she was looking for me, and then proceeded to tell me they were contacting me because they are getting ready to serve me for "worthless checks" I supposedly wrote in 2007. I asked her the name of her company she said the name was Processing, I asked for an address and she said under the Patriot Act she did not have to give me the address, I asked her to send me verification of debt, she said they had three different times and listed two of my previous addresses. I again asked her for the address she said no, I stated that I had a right to send her a verification letter and she again repeated the Patriot Act line to me again and that they do not give it out because they don't know how people will react and want to protect themselves. I also stated that there is a statute of limitations in California of three or four years and she replied that there is no statute on "worthless checks". So, I hung and filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I'm not perfect and I will try to take care of what I do owe, but how do these people sleep at night knowing that what they are doing is wrong? They are probably milking people who just don't know any different to know when its a scam or not.
