Product: Other debt

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: Ever since my aunt tragically passed away, this company + number began calling me ( sometimes multiple times per day ). Amazingly fraudulent and annoying. I ( with a perfect – and frozen – credit report, which I very closely monitor ) owe no debts anywhere, but these calls keep coming ; presumably attempting to somehow extract money from me using my aunt as a connection … it’s a shame that other folks who are less sophisticated / fearful might actually fall for this. Shocking that there is no way to block …
