    collection agency harassment over car accident with declined claim?

    Sep 16, 2010 by misha | Posted in Insurance

    I was involved in a car accident some time ago and my insurance company declined a claim that was submitted by second party involved in the accident. Now a collection agency harassing me over the phone despite the fact that my insurance company sent them

    I have had a collections agency calling me for a debt on a best buy card. Now the card does not belong to me, it is my fathers who lives 500 miles away. I told the 15 times that it is my fathers and gave them his address. I got a complaint saying that

    18.05.12

    (WTOL) - Remember Hollywood Video? It seems like a relic from a decade ago, but for some former customers, it is still a nightmare.
