I got one of these privacy notices too. There was a phone # of 800.478.5541, When called the automated voice wanted SS# and/or Account #. So with that, not knowing the the heck these people are, I hung up. However, I will call later in the day to talk to someone. It's too early in the morning... they aren't open yet...perhaps. At any rate, they will have to tell ME what they want not me give them any information. I will up date as soon as I talk to someone there.

Do not, under any circumstances, give them (or anyone) your personal information! It's OK to confirm/deny information they already have, but don't let them phish for more.

Yes, thanks for the information. My sister, who is deceased, received a letter from this company too. I was curious to know what type of company is this. Now I know. Thanks a bunch. I don't have to do any more research than this.

i dont know but i got one today. oh well good luck u cant get blood out of a turnup! lol oh well

They took me to court I won the case and they still herrass me with letters I going to turn it over to the Texas Attorney General since they do not answer their phone

I am unsure why the vultures insist on circling at such a vulnerable point in every one's lives. Where has common humanity gone these days? Do these ass-holes KNOW the state of the economy? Or do they even care? Do they realize that suicides rates are through the roof right now thanks to pricks like this? People are trying to feed their families-**** debt collectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Let's keep it clean, OK? - Uncle Wulf

Does this mean they are taking you to court to satisfy a judgement or is this their way of getting new info on you?

Well, called them...and this time during the day... they didn't have anything on my husband or me....via info of our address. UMMMM...doesn't seem lagit to me. But my letter is going in to the recycling....This just takes up my time and wastes trees.

No, don't throw away anything you get from collection agencies. It can be used as evidence when you SUE THEM for violating federal law.

i received a letter as well, but thanks to the postings now i know what it is. unclewulf sounds very knowledgeable.

I received a letter from these folks for someone I don't even know. I asked my husband and it turns out that it was the maiden name of his former wife whose debt collection letters/phonecalls we have been receiving here at MY house for the past 4 years where she's never lived. I was going to call these folks to tell them as I've told other collectors that she doesn't live here, and has never lived here, but their message box is full. I guess I'll just return this letter. But,we get soooo many of them. It's tiring. Advice?

I posted, but it didn't appear?

OK>>>>>>>>>Now, it's showing ??

Score! They've sent you a letter. This is a Good Thing.You now have their address. Go ahead and return the letter they sent, but follow it up with a cease-and-desist letter of your own, enjoining them from ever contacting you again, for any reason. Send it certified mail, return receipt requested.
