[N/A] Luebke Baker & Associates Collections - Help!
I'm so furious right now I don't know if I can type or not.
This morning as my wife and I were getting ready for work a gentleman from a company by the name of Luebke Baker & Associates (located in Peoria, IL) called us on the phone to inform us of a debt from 2001 where we apparently agreed to buying subscriptions to magazines.
First off, I wasn't married to my wife yet at that time, and 2nd off we *never* subscribe to magazines. We just don't have the time or desire to get them.
They say we (or she) signed up for the magazines through a company called "Diversified Marketing". My wife doesn't recall ever doing this and in 2001 she was in such financial dire straights I doubt she would have done it; the fact is I believe her. I did a web search on this company (DM) and apparently they were shut down in several states for running magazine subscription scams.
I did a web search on Luebke Baker and found lots of stuff on ripoffreport.com - but I'm not sure where to go next. They say they can't tell us anything about the debt until we give them certain information - which they'll then turn around and use to try to collect the debt, I'm sure. I don't want to tell them ANYTHING about us.
I just don't know what to do next other than advise them to contact my attorney in writing if they wish to have any further contact with us.
Any suggestions? I sure could use the help.
