Consumer Narrative
I have been getting phones calls from this company Harris and Harris about owning taxes. The issue was the taxes were paid before they ever even tried to contact me. I told them on the first call to send proof of the debt. And to not call this number again. Now I get XXXX calls ever day.They are putting account services as the caller id. They refuse to provide any info, Just demand payment right then. Even threaten to take my house! They have been rude, even when advised the debt is not owed. They were asked for written proof of the debt over 30 days ago. And to dated still have not received it! They have provided false statement and tried to add fees not in our state contract with them! They have threaded to call my work and inform my boss I am committed crimes. They have threaten to take my house, and sue me. Report me to credit to ruin my good credit as the put it!
