Harrassment by First Credit of America... Chicago Illinois

hi iam a former employee of the company and i can truly sympathize with your complaints. effective 04-30-07 the owners of this deceptive company closed their doors leaving over 50 employees with out jobs with out any previous notice. their had been several complaints against this company by their own clients because they also had been ripped off. today i personally went to a local currency exchange to cash a check and i was advise that they will no longer do buisness with me because of a 92.00 payroll check had bounced that was giving to me by the oweners of first credit in the month of november at this point i have been unable to track down these scum baggs , this company also collected boggish accounts for a company called charge me later which is a internet web site that allows consumer's to select their method of payment when they visit certain webs sites . bottom line these scum baggs needs to be held accountable for all of the mischevious acts. i know for a fact that these owners have made millions of dollars ripping off consumers and employees.

I work in a collection agency, although I work with pre-charge off accounts for anothe company. I will try and explain what they meant by a "verified" number, and why the second call. A "verified" number is one that they have had someone say that in this case, your step son lives there. This could have been one time previously where they called, and someone offered to take a message, or if the number was listed on another account where contact was made, or if a phone book search (or internet search engine) showed him living there.

As for a call on the 2nd day, the only explanation I can come up with is that updates to the automatic dialer are not done when the number is removed from the file. I try and tell people on the phone that it usually takes 24-48 hours for the number to be removed from the dialer. Of course, that is assuming that they did remove the number.
