I received a call from Darcy at JSD Management 9 months after the death of my husband and fully two years after he closed his business. She stated that that I owed her collection agency for a debt the business had with Dex Yellow Pages in the amount of $3558. I notified her that the business was closed, and that my late husband went around to the new owner to collect mail until shortly before his death, and there were no bills pending. Darcy was aggressive and threatening (You had better entertain your lawyer! Will you be able to make a court date in Texas?) and also placed blame on the new tenant, implying that he had thrown away bills. She called a second time in the same threatening manner, and sent a bill.
In the meantime, I contacted Dex Yellow Pages, with whom my husband had indeed advertised, and was informed that they had never sent him to collection and didn t use JSD when they did.
I followed up with a call the the manager at JSD, Evans , threatening to report him to BBB, who then did some fast-pedaling saying that of course the bill would be cancelled due to the death of my husband and closing of the shop.
I think they may troll death certificates or have some other unsavory way of obtaining information about people, and then just go fishing to see what they can trick vulnerable people into paying. I consider them ruthless, thieving bottom-feeders.
