I haven't seen much on this site about Nationwide Recovery Systems (NRS) but thought I would share an article about their CEO - just lets everyone know what these debt collectors do with your money once they bilk it out of you - adding all of their fees and interest, etc.
Don't know about you, but excesses like this make me sick to my stomach. And NRS is a $600 million dollar company . . . I'll include a couple paragraphs from the story below but feel free to follow the link and read the rest of the story - know where your hard earned money is going.

| Quote: | Flying on the edge: for instant perspective, Jerry Curtis of Nationwide Recovery Systems goes to the extremes - CEO Extreme - extreme adventures - related article: Do You Have What It Takes?
The force of gravity wrenched his stomach. It pressed his spine, neck and head against the seat, making him feel like a wrestler on the losing end of a pin. Still, Jerry Curtis felt exhilarated; in fact, he'd paid some $7,000 for this thrill of roaring 6,000 miles an hour over Moscow in a Russian MiG.
Flying in a fighter plane might not be everyone's idea of a fabulous vacation, but Curtis never was one for lounging poolside. Although for more than 20 years he worked such long days building his $600 million Carrollton, Texas, collections firm, Nationwide Recovery Systems, that he seldom took time off to indulge his passions, Curtis seems to be making up for lost time. In addition to his flights in a MiG, his recent trips include an excursion to the North Pole, a jaunt hunting mountain lions in Colorado (he bagged a 150-pounder) and a stint on a naval carrier during training maneuvers off the East Coast.
"I'm attracted to things that expand my boundaries," the 59-year-old president and CEO says of his yen for extreme vacations. "They teach me about myself and my endurance--and they also help in my business life."
"'Status quo' are two words that are not in Jerry's vocabulary," agrees Curtis' longtime friend Martin Birnbach, principle of Martin Birnbach & Associates, an executive recruiting firm in Dallas. Birnbach, 65, shares Curtis' love of action. A few months ago, the two of them were discussing Birnbach's alma mater, the University of Miami, and its big, impending football game against Tennessee. The next day, there were on a plane to Knoxville. |

Unfortunately, this is the hard truth. It's very sad to see the hard earned money of the working people going into the pockets of these jerks and enjoying luxuries. Just see how much they pay on their taxes. I hope that these people are caught by the IRS and heavily penalized.

Hi Sidh
Why do they need your social security number? DO NOT DO NOT disclose any personal information about yourself and your finances. In my opinion you should maintain a record of all the conversations you have with them, including the name of the caller, the date and time, the name of the company and what is said. You can send them a C&D letter via certified mail with a return receipt request. If you keep receiving harassing calls from them even after they receive the C&D letter then contact an attorney.

NRS isn't even close to a $600M company. In fact, the company is falling apart! Jerry Curtis hasn't been the CEO since 2004, by the way. They are bleeding money and they are run by a bunch of redneck morons. All you need to do is threaten to file a complaint with Cingular Wireless directly about their tactics and they will close your account and fold like a tent. This company is a serious joke....

thought i would toss this gem in if anyone ran across this. THEY WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING. they refused to send a paper bill or send proof of debt and claimed the only method to resolve was to pay by check on the phone. Do not cave with these people deal directly with the company that sent you there and report anything you think is "funny" they should be shutdown for the amount of lies and manipulation they use. all I can say is don't expect them to reason with you unless your willing to be robbed.
