I just got a call from them as well. This time, based out of Phoenix, AZ. There was a “Qualifier” that I talked to on the phone first, and asked how they got my phone number. She said that she “was just a Qualifier” and that I’d have to talk to her supervisor. I did. “Mark” stated that it would take between a week and month to remove my cell number from their call listing, at which time I told him that I would charge him $100 for each minute my cell phone and personal time was taken. He said he would expedite my request.

Cest’ la vie.

Bonferiffic at best.

I got a call from this company today… They asked for specific credit card information… They asked me to call my credit card bank for balance and interest rate information and asked that I not tell the bank that they were also on the line!!! Even though I have less than $2500 in total balance across two cards, they told me I was eligible and that they could save me thousands of dollars, possibly as much as $4,000 through their program. Of course, there is a charge of $100 for their experts to negotiate the new interest rate of at least 9.9% APR. If they could not negotiate lowering the interest rate, they would IMMEDIATELY refund my $100. I told them I wanted to see something in writing. They offered to email the invoice to me within 10 minutes with the refund guarantee. I did receive an email from “megan”. The number I was supposed to call her back with payment information was 1-866-243-4106. The original phone call came to me on my cell phone from 406-351-4183. I was able to obtain an address of: changeyourdebt.com, but when I tried to pull it up, it was no longer a viable address. Megan told me their ‘parent’ company is Brite

I have gotten this same call the past 5 or 6 months now. All 419 area code. Until today each time I tried to get information concerning their company the caller would hang up on me. Today I was given their website: http://www.changeyourdebt.com and their phone number is 866-243-4106. The person I spoke to today said she was in Phoenix AZ. From what I’ve read online they are known as Universal Card Services as well as Brite Days Debt Relief.

So much for being registered on the DO NOT CALL list.

It’s good to know these folks are out and about again in force. I’ll be sure to watch the caller ID.

419 area code? Seriously? That’s funny on SO many levels …
