Consumer Narrative
I'm called almost weekly by Harris & Harris about debt collection. The voicemail is always a prerecorded message from someone named XXXX XXXX asking for me to contact one of their representatives. I've checked my credit report multiple times and have yet to find any trace of collection notices. I'm worried to call back because I do not want to be taken advantage of. They've called on the following dates this year from multiple numbers : XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX.
