I never had any phone service with Verizon. However, about 2 years ago, I began receiving several collections notices in the mail. They said that I owed Verizon a lot of money in past due bills. This also flagged my credit ratings! Fast forward to 3 days ago. I received a letter from Receivables Performance Management saying that I owed a lot of money to Verizon for unpaid bills. Since I have NEVER had any Verizon account, I contacted Verizon customer service. The Verizon rep researched their records....which showed that I NEVER had a Verizon account! So I called Receivables Performance Management. The person I spoke to knew my social security number...even though I never told him what it was.He also knew personal information about me which I never told him. When I told him I NEVER had a Verizon account, and that Verizon records showed that...the RPM rep said he could just clear things up if I sent him $89.20. He was Extorting money to get RPM off my back!!! I contacted Washington State BBB. I may also contact Washington State Attorney Generals Office. It is illegal to make false claims that hurt peoples credit ratings; it is also illegal to extort money from people by making fraudulent claims against people! User's recommendation: Please research the claims of RPM. They may be false claims against you just to extort money from you!!
