Description

I received a missed call from (855)983-0168. They left a voicemail. I checked the voicemail and it was an automated voice naming the Hines Consulting Solutions. Voicemail Message: Hello, this is the office of Hines Consulting Solutions. This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. We have made several attempts to reach you regarding a matter of extreme importance, that needs your attention. This is a time sensitive matter, so it would be very beneficial for you to call us back as soon as possible at 8442801852. Again, this is a very urgent matter. Please hit the green call back button or dial 8442801852, thank you. When I asked how they attempted to get a hold of me. He stated by that address we have on file. I said what address is that? He said it. I said I have no Idea what address that is? He said that is why we couldn't get a hold of you because you didn't keep your information up to date. When they send you any paperwork through email, at the top of the paperwork it states LCS MEDIATION SERVICES. The address that LCS uses is the address for the Hines Consulting Solutions. When I asked for the original file from the company that sent me to his company. He stated that he would have to ask his legal department to get it and then it would go to the courts and I would have to give them my attorney's information and I would have to pay $1000 in court cost plus that amount of the original debt plus interest, but he can send me a letter through email that shows what information he has right now. He said my file has been in his office for 772 days. I have asked why his office has not tried to contact me. He said because if I missed my car payment the car payment company does not call you to tell you that you missed a payment. They just come and take your car. I told him just send me an email with what he has and to the email he has on file and I will look at it. I informed him that I have also filed bankruptcy as well. He said it would be in your best interest to take care of this today and not wait until tomorrow. I know the laws of the state that I live in and know that Federal Law (FDCPA). I have to send a letter in writing asking for the original creditor's information and I have 30days to do it. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) allows me to request original creditor information from a debt collector. I have to send a written debt validation letter within 30 days of their first contact to halt collection activities until they provide details like the original creditor's name, address, and account number, plus proof of the debt's validity and itemization. I do not think this company is a legit company, so I am going to be submitting my Debt validation Letter and follow all my federal and state law and will update post and I get up dates.
