I told him that this was a tactic to collect a debt and to open contact with me as by then i had gone through my cell phone call log and found the exact number called me 82 times in one week, but it was blocked per my request from my cell provider. I told him to refer me to a supervisor or someone who could tell me what was going on and why they use such

This company sent me a letter saying i was deceased and to turn over my financial information, never did they say who the original creditor was or the amount of the debt. This was an attempt to gain my information as means to collect a debt which they never identified.This company called me - times over the course of a week, if they were under the presumption i was dead, why bother? the company name is Philips, Cohen and Associates -- - - - - - - DE - - ( - ) - reference # -
