    So I received a phone call from a JDB that is on my tail for an alleged (and disputed) past-due MBNA card. The angry, ranting and raving voice insisted that he was an attorney and was “about to file arbitration paperwork”. I never knew that attorneys made collection calls. Perhaps a bar-association complaint against this mega-jdb would be in order?

    lol Pulp – all these alleged debts of yours, where are they coming from?

    If you ever want to try to get back on your feet by working hard and repaying (settling) those debts, and you want some guidance and support (genuine), feel free to contact me.. That’s no BS, but the offer is only good if you’re serious and willing to see things from a different perspective and can follow directions..

    I know you’re following a plan right now, and sticking to your guns alleging that these debts are not yours, I’m just trying to offer you an alternative, one that might bear juicier fruits and a more positive outcome in the long run.

    Good luck with this new one, I hope for your sake that he’a violator and not a debtor-nator.

    Below-Average Joe,

    So you encourage your JDB employees to break the law in their collection calls?

    Pulp… quite a conclusion you’ve drawn there cowboy.

    Are those the same cognitive skills you use to pay your alleged bills with?

    AJ… you should know better than to throw a junkie a lifeline. He has to hit rock bottom to understand he has a problem first.

    pulp – I’ve never encouraged anyone to break the law, I have no idea what gives you that impression.

    I understand where you’re coming from, in terms of being victimized by debt collectors and lawyers coming after you, for debts that you don’t even owe. I just think there’s much more to the story, and I’m simply offering assistance. I assume you came here for a perspective that you don’t find on your average consumer “credit board”, if I’m incorrect, pardon me.

    If I was suddenly contacted about multiple debts which I did not owe, my first instinct would not be to study and commit to memory the FDCPA, nor would it be to judge the efforts of those calling me.. FIRST, I’d worry that I was the victim of ID theft, I’d probably file a police report, and may even notate my credit reports as to the event with a brief explanation.

    Your stories just don’t add up, even to a below-average joe like me, who eats most of his meals with a spoon.

    I may be confusing you with any “one” of the other dozen new consumer posters who have enriched our community with their presence recently. If so, I apologize in advance.

    Attorneys’ lackeys make collection calls.

    FDCPA violation one, misrepresentation.

    You show me an attorney that makes a collection call, and I’ll show you an attorney who doesn’t make a living collecting debts (i.e a real lawyer, as opposed to a hired gun)

    Well see if they file Arb paperwork. If they do no violation if they don’t sue their pants off. Not a violation to call you as long as they don’t lie. Now if you have a C & D that would be another story.

    You think I’d entrust my calls to a lackey?
