Description

This 'law office' left voice mail messages with my daughter and husband. The lawyer/office name was jumbled, but letting us know we were going to be served papers and someone over 18 needed to be home to receive them. We were given their phone number & a 'case number'. I immediately called when my daughter shared the info with me, and they immediately knew who/what I was calling about without giving them any information!? The guy (Shane) proceeded to tell me that my husband was being taken to court for an unpaid Best Buy credit card balance of $1200 from 12+ years ago. I said that wasn't possible and we had no outstanding debt with Best Buy and why was this the first time we were hearing about it. He had no answers except 'people like me' default on credit cards all the time. I shared this with my husband and decided to call back with my husband present. Again, they knew who/what I was calling about without any additional information. I asked what law offices I was contacting and the guy who answered (Mike) was beyond rude. Started yelling at me that I was a Karen, would always be a Karen, and he would see me in court..but also to have a nice life. Did not share ANY information with them. I don't understand what the point of any of this is!! Can't people find real jobs?!
