[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 429984, member: 4264"] He might have used you as a reference or contact number for lack of anybody to use, thinking at the time he'd have no reason to cause them to call you and get you upset at the presumption it was okay at all to leave your number. I know my mother does pay day loans against her pension (drives me nuts!). She moves from place to another, juggling the interest on a payment by taking out another loan from some place different in order to keep solvent after forking over payment to place #1, and so on. She's banned thankfully from all but one of the more than dozen in this town. (I wish they'd outlaw those places!) Anyhow, when registering at these places, they have asked her for up to 5 contacts in case she doesn't show up to pay up. She always figured nobody would get a call, I mean of course she'd pay them. And she doesn't HAVE 5 people SHE can call in her own life, let alone offer names for. Who knows what people not close at all to her had their numbers down because she only had my brother and I close at that time of her life. No other friends, coworkers, family. Nobody. So 3 people for sure were plucked from a non-role of my mothers life, because it was a means to the end: the pay day loan. Perhaps this guy (who sounds like no prize!) was pulling at straws to come up with contact names, and threw your name on something because he was desparate and didn't figure you'd ever learn of it? Makes a warped kind of sense. And explains why they are calling you. I'd call them back or I'd be sure to pick up when they try you back. Tell them there is NO relationship, not even contact from him and you. That you never even in the past had a relationship with him (familial or friends) and would never authorize your number be connected to any business dealings or financial stuff of his. Tell them to remove your name and contact info from their computer files AND their paper files and any forms he listed you on. Then if you know where he's living, pass that on to them and tell them to never call you again. Somethings weird here. I'd say it is that he put your name somewhere, easy to do and happens every day. I'd be livid. [/QUOTE]
