My neighbor came to my house saying that someone called him and gave him a message for me to call Alex at 706-736-6746. I was expecting a delivery that day, so decided to call and see what it was about. I reached CRI and was given to Alex, she said this was about a debt I owe from a gym membership I had more than 6 years ago and this was on my credit and needed a payment over the phone today to resolve. Shocked, I told her this is the first I have ever heard this, have bought a home recently and nothing is on my credit. She just continued stating that its something I owe and she can give me a settlement. I told her I understand how settlements work but I am not about to just give money away for something I don’t even know about. They claimed they have been mailing me since 2017, I told them I never received anything and that led to them refusing to mail me an invoice. I told them they could email it to me and they were only considering doing that if I made payment today. I told them no payments will be made over the phone and they became angry and terminated the call.
