Google works for everyone,  Scammers often google their scam, or, for this site, the phone number they are scamming from.  They then post information defending themselves.  

If anyone tells you your loan has been modified it would be in your best interest to contact the original lender for confirmation.




And no, my name is not a reference to Mike who wrote the 2nd post in this thread.  Its a reference to Michael the Deadbeat who got a car loan, gave my phone number as his, and stopped making payments.  I found this site when I investigated the numbers that were calling me looking for Michael.

Did you bother to call the collector back? You just assumed because the original creditor said there were "no such changes" that suddenly all that money you "borrowed" is no longer owed? That is a rather moronic stance. If you borrow, pay it back. Don't be a deadbeat. People like you cost ME more money everytime I make a purchase and I personally am a bit tired of supporting your deadbeat habits. Pay your bills!

I received this extremely phishy voice mail on Tuesday October 27, 2009 @ 3:55 pm EST:

"Good morning, this is legal director Glen Eisenberg. I will make this as quick as possible, as I know your time is extremely important. I am the director of the firm that just purchased your loan and at this time we have changed the course of action regarding your loan. I would strongly suggest that you contact me directly in my office today. Uhhm. I will be in the office til 3pm Eastern time). Uhhn. You can reach me directly in my office 716-204-7529. Uhhm.

I called our loan holder and confirmed that no such changes have been made to the account. Any changes, they stated, would be made via postal mail.
