Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX an employee from One Main Financial called my employer in regards to a past due balance on my account. This person requested to speak with me. Upon being advised that I was not available this person told my coworker that the call was in regards to a garnishment. I am currently not being garnished by this institution. My last payment was submitted in XX/XX/XXXX which ; does make my account even half way close to filing a garnishment. Last and definitely not least ; it is ILLEGAL to disclose any information to anyone other than the debtor. I have always paid on time until just recently due to the pandemic. I intended on calling them to discuss payment, however Im currently trying to dig myself out of a hole maintaining the bare necessities of my household. I do not deny that I owe the money. My issue is their blatant disrespect of my privacy. This kind of treatment is unlawful and should not be taken lightly.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
I have received numerous phone calls from Global Trust Management. Previously when they called and I would answer, the call would be disconnected before speaking with someone. On XX/XX/21, at XXXX EST, I received a call from them again. I spoke with a woman who requested I verify information with her. I refused to self-identify until I was given more information about who was calling. I also stated numerous times that I do not wish to receive calls from them anymore at this phone number and requested a cease and desist. The woman refused to accept my request saying she could not do so without verifying my information. The woman calling then provided a deceitful statement that the call was NOT associated with debt collection or a debt collector. When I then self identified, I was notified that the call was indeed an attempt by a debt collector to collect a debt. I again requested a cease and desist of phone communications to my number which she again refused and was extremely rude saying so youre just not going to pay back this moneyokay and things of that nature. I confirmed that the phone call was on a recorded line, requested a cease and desist, and ended the call.
