Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine New York
I bought a - phone for my girlfriend 's son in - - while I was on vacation. After - months the phone was stolen from him. He never informed me that the phone was stolen, I found out late - 2014. I asked him if he contacted - about turning off the phone? He said he could not turn off the phone because - needed my social security number. I did not give him my ss #. I got a phone call from - in - 2014, that the cell phone bill was $430.00. I explained to them that the phone was stolen in - -. and asked that they shut off the phone. - said, I WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE PHONE AND COULD NOT REQUEST TO HAVE IT TURNED OFF. '' Then I asked,
's going to collections. I immediately called - and demanded an explanation. I was told that since I bought the phone, I am responsible for the bill. I challenged that statement because of what they told me 2 months before, that I was not the owner of the phone! I received a collections letter from an agency demanding $430.00. Then I received a second collections letter from Maury Cobb & Assoc. LLC form -, Al for $820.00. The first - calls from - were threats to collect the debt via voice mail, calling my phone at least - times per day. They use -, - and - numbers to call, and rotate the calls daily. I have tried calling - on numerous occasions, at least - times per day. Whenever I call the numbers back, I receive a recorded message to leave a message and someone will get in touch with me. I contacted - again but they insist that I have to pay although - : ( 1 ) The phone was stolen and was not in my possession ; ( 2 ) I pointed out that they told me I could not turn off the phone ( while the bill was at $430.00 ) ; ( 3 ) They said that the phone was not mine, and I had no authority to turn off the phone ; ( 4 ) Then 2 months later, they insisted that I am now the legal owner of the phone and have to pay $820.00. Can someone please tell me what 's going on with - and Maury Cobb & Associates LLC? Am I responsible for the $820.00 bill?
