      The Law Firm of Richard **** has called me repeatedly to try to collect a debt owed to Paychex by my previous employer, FirsTime Manufactory, **** I have told them every time that I am no longer employed by FirsTime, that I was never an executive/director and therefor am not personally liable for the debt, and gave them the correct contact to reach out to, but they continue to call me weekly.

      We have reviewed our system, and the phone number listed is not associated with any open file in our system. The customer should not receive any further calls.

      They are a debt collector, I mailed a check to pay in full, which they cashed, but they continue to call me. When you call their office you cannot speak with anyone, I left a voicemail but a live person doesn't call you back.

      This company has been calling non stop. My phone recognizes it as a scam likely number, so it obviously has been reported as a scam. I have been left 2 voicemails by a *******. I have attempted to reach back out to her twice and the phone rang until it automatically said "sorry, we're unable to help you today" and hung up or something along those lines. I am requesting that I no longer be contacted by Richard **** Associates or any of their employees. It doesn't seem that this matter is important enough to leave a correct or operating phone number, so I wish to cease contact per the *****

      06/19/2024

      We are unable to locate the file in our system with the information provided. The phone number listed does not appear to be in our system any longer. We typically are attempting to reach a business and not a corporation. If the customer is able to provide more info we can confirm the phone numbers are removed from our system. As it stands there is not enough information to follow up and identify the file in our system. Thank you

      I am rejecting this response because: I do not have anything with ****************** never have. 

      This company is just using fake information to harass people.  They should be required to have a way to speak to your company instead of just robo calls. 

      I would like to see proof that my business has anything with ****************** otherwise you are just lieing and harassing.

      This business has been leaving me a generic automatic message at least once a week for several months, claiming my "business" has a claim with them. I owe no money to anyone and am convinced (particularly because my business has never been named and neither has the claim) this is a scam. Please stop calling me.

      Business response

      06/04/2024

      We have been attempting to contact Rivershore Aquariums regarding our client TForce Freight LTL. In regards to a small balance due. Per the customers request we will not contact them again regarding this balance however that does not mean it is not owed. The file will be closed in our office.
