I received 30+ calls from an automatic system from ERC this week. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and she attempted to collect 3 debts at the same time, and she gave me information about those accounts without verifying my identity before providing that information. Following account information was provided to me by XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX ( Ref : XXXX ) with a balance of {$2000.00} and with last 4 of social XXXX in that account. XXXX ( Account # XXXX Ref : XXXX ) with {$450.00} and last 4 of social in that account XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX with last 4 of social XXXX. After sharing with XXXX my intention of filing this complaint, I got transferred to XXXX at the office of the president, XXXX started asking for information without notifying me of her attempts to use all the information obtained to collect a debt. I explained XXXX that I been harrassed getting several call repetitive and in an inappropriate way.
