I received a call from this number earlier today. As per my usual polciy, if I do not recognize the phone number, I do not answer. Surprisingly, a message was left this time. The message gave me a three second pause to ensure privacy. The message then said "if you are" (my name) you need to call GC Services, a debt collector at 8668001472, and then proceeded to give the operating hours. I receive calls like this constantly, and still maintain a policy of dealing with my debt with the original company and not a collector. I am not ignorant of the fact that it is a common practice for businesses to sell their debts (accounts receivables) for less than their value. The business gets immediate cash, and the debt purchaser can collect the full value of the debt (plus whatever other fees (sometimes illegal ones) they debt purchaser may tack on). I have never been notified of any of my debt being sold by the original creditor, so, as far as I'm concerned, I STILL OWE THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR, AND ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE, AND I WILL CONTINUE DO DEAL WITH THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR ONLY!!!
