If you call them call from a PHONEBOOTH!
How is it 6 years down the road up pops this thing on your credit report. You call from your cell that is a prepaid and ask a few questions. Your baffled so you hang up. You think thier nuts and don't know what they are talking about. Then a couple of weeks goes by and you get a phone call and your baffled again how did you get my # ? Well they wrote it down. This was my daughter. She and her husband were attempting to buy a house and were approved last year, but decided to wait. So they went again and got denied????????? What could be the issue? Well of course it was Topco Financial. She unfortunately gave them a little too much information they put 2x2 together and voila there they are on your back like stink on s__t. The things they said to her and about her husband were unbelievable. The incident creating this was a car given to her husband by his grandfather and he had it 3 days when it was stolen. Police were called etc. please don't tow will come pick up. Abandoned in another jurisdiction so it got towed. He never even knew the car had ever even been found. The towing co. never notified him either. Had to figure out what the original listing on the report was because we had never heard of the company before. I did some research and found that Topco specialized in towing collections. So then researched the name assoc. with the credit report and there the company was. Royal Towing. Talking with the tow company they didn't have anything on record for back then so they couldn't give us any information. So of course Topco had all the info after talking with them. I now fear that the money these kids are shelling out to Topco is not going to go to the tow company. The bill started out at we don't know what but the credit report was 735.00 but when talking to Topco the bill was now at 1300.00. Reported in May 2011 and by June 2011 it doubles? go figure. If they could come up with 900.00 in 30 days that would close it. They tried so hard but to no avail so they are making payments to these FOOLS. It amazes me that they still get away with the same crap they did when the State took them to courst and fined them many Thousands of dollars and yet it still goes on today. There horrible and nasty words and inuendos. There jacking of the original amounts. There needs to be an end put to this company and the names of the owners published and not allowed to perform this type of business EVER!
