GC Services harassment fraudulent debt collecting practices ripoff Columbus Ohio

GC Services contacted me on April 20th 2004 at 8:48 pm. The rep told me she worked with the Federal Government, and she threatened that the Government would "come after me" if I did not cooperate fully with her.

She told me that I was in default on my student loan, and that since it was federally funded, the Feds would not hesitate to come after me. She then proceeded to tell me that she was trying to help me, and there was a couple of programs that would help me clear up this problem.

I asked her about the programs then she told me she needed some personal information which I provided. After I provided the information she told I did not qualify, and that all the personal information I gave her will be used against me.

She then proceeded to tell me I had to pay it back at X-amount per month. Which was an unreasonable amount I could not afford, and then told me I had a week to think about it.

The phone call lasted far beyond the 9 o'clock hour. She called me back again at 6:43 pm the very next day, then on 4-24-04 at 8:39 am, 9:00 am, 10:01 am and 1:41 pm so far. This is harassment is obviously harassment and deception.
