Merchant's Credit Guide The agent tried to get me to make a payment arrangement by using my checking acct. over the phone or by credit card. The agent said I owed fingerhut and he had my Social Sec. #. to prove I owed this debt. Chicago Illinois

This agent called me on a Sunday, stating he was calling from Merchant's Credit Guide. His terms were he was only calling to collect on a debt. He also stated that He could settle this debt by accepting a check by phone, or credit card. I stated that in I was not able to pay the debt,

I'm disabled with a terminal illness, and what are you doing calling me asking for payment when I haven't received a bill from you. I have a cell phone, and looked up the company, no such listing exists. I even had a reverse lookup on the phone number with no sucess. This business is bogus, and I want it off my credit report, oh yes, they looked me up on 5/22/08 that's probably how they got my social security number.
