Nationwide Credit using AMEX letterhead Atlanta Georgia

OK They can call one time however, Is it illegal or a violation for a person from XYZ Collection company to "misrepresent" themselves on the phone? Such as the person from Nationwide Credit stated " I am with American Express and I am calling to update your home address" Thats an untrue statement. He lied to me on the phone.. His company may have purchased an alledged debt from AMEX but he is NOT employed by AMEX. Thats a deceptive practice is it not? This company should be fined for thier employee's statements.

From the FTC's website:
"A debt collector also may not contact you at work if the collector knows that your employer disapproves of such contacts."

So until they know, they can call you at work.

Other than that I agree with what the other posters have said.

I googled the phone number as John suggested. Prior to getting my notice from "AMEX" or as I found out Nationwide Credit THIS male subject, WHO ID SELF AS ADWADI ,WANTED TO UPDATE MY HOME ADDRESS. 1ST WHEN I HAD AN AMEX CARD I DID NOT WORK AT WHERE I WORK NOW SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS PERSON GOT OR CALLED THIS NUMBER. I also informed him he was in violation of laws forbidding him to contact persons at work for the purpose of collections.

Address it to their Legal Department and tell them they are fraudulently using their logo on letterhead.

Google the phone number and read all the complaints about this.
