Description

I received a phone call from a man (Last Name Garcia) with National Document Service requesting updated address information because they were trying to serve me paperwork. When asked what kind of paperwork and if this was in attempt to collect a debt, he repeatedly said he did not have the information. He could not tell me what company was suing, the amount, or the exact address in which they tried to serve me at. He gave me another phone number to call with a reference number so that I could obtain the information I was asking about because he did not have the paperwork in front of him. I called the number he gave me 888-796-4326 and reached a man by the name of "Steve" with Steinberg & Stanley. I began asking him the same questions. He informed me that the amount in a "judgment" was for $3085.95 from Rent-A-Center. When I informed him that I have not had any business with Rent-A-Center, he became argumentative and told me that I could not dispute the debt with him. He had my full legal name and read my full social security number back to me. I did not confirm or admit who I was while on this phone call. I told him that if this was in an attempt to collect a debt, that he was in violation of numerous FDCPA laws. Again, he argued that I could not dispute the debt with him. I asked for a phone number to call to dispute the debt and he would not provide me with one. I then disconnected the call. Just after I disconnected, my wife received a phone call on her phone from the same 208-281-5727 from Mr. Stanley Garcia. The voicemail said, "This is Stanley Garcia of the National Document Services. I'm calling to follow up with a complaint to see it in our office fo* ******** ********. The reference number is 375665.
