I would like to share my recent experience with BCR. I have to ask,do all the employees have to pass a training course on how to be a mean,nasty fart eater? I had a over look on a cellphone bill of @ $80. It went to BCR for collections. BCR called my home on 10-19.The person on the phone asked me to pay a lesser ammount than I owed that day over the phone by credit card or check by phone( not a safe idea people, DON'T GIVE ANY INFO LIKE THAT TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE). I told them to send me a statement and I would send them a check.They mailed me the letter on 10-20,I recived it on 10-23 and mailed a payment on 10-24. On 10-26 I got a phone call at MY JOB and At my house.They were rude to my superviser at work,rude to me at work and rude to me at home when I called them back. I was also rude because one These a** f**kers called my job and 2 I mailed them money 2 days agothat proubly wasn't even recived yet. To say the least I called the cell phone company and told them that BCR had attitude proublems and they need to deal with another company who is more professional. I have family members who do Credit and Collections work for banks. Collecters CAN NOT CALL YOUR JOB IF YOU NOTIFY THEM IN WRITING TO NOT DO SUCH. BCR the letter has been mailed.Stupid monkey ball biters. Bite on that one. I have half a mind to stop payment on the check I sent them and eat the $80 on my credit. Like it will hurt my score. I have ecellent credit so F**K BCR.Didn't you hear that you catch more flies with honey? They obviously know I have a job they called me there.Stupid ******** BCR employees. PS IT'S NOT JUST CINGULLAR WHO USES THEM. CONTACT THE PHONE CO. AND LET THEM KNOW YOUR FEELINGS @ BCR.IF MORE PEOPLE B**CH THEY WON"T USE THEM.

Hey Collection Manager. I would like to start by saying Dee Dee Dee.You won't make any cash if people don't pay up. So maybe it would pay to be nice once in a while.And P.S If the people you r refering to didn't pay their bills then they wouldn't be on a computer on the internet would they.

Hey BCR employees that keep writing on this websight. Don't you have better things to do at work than surf the net? How about threating more families? Maybe you can start some new movement to have mucle men go to homes and bust legs for ya all.

Here's an interesting bit about BCR: I get a random call in the evening from these guys....I pick up and the line seems empty....basic telemarketers I figure.

I was bored so I googled the BCR 1888 number left on the caller ID and found that there was a lot of fishy stuff about these guys. Also that they are supposed debt collectors. I have never been late on any sort of payment, so this alone made me interested enough to call them. They have a generic msg which doesn't explain what the company is, and after a few seconds I was transfered to a man who just answered "This is BCR, how may I help you?" I simply asked "Hi, you guys called me...what exactly IS your business? What do you do?"

There was about a 1 second pause where I could hear the guy breathing, then he just hung up.

These BOZO's have an incorrect phone number and refuse to quit calling my home and bothering us! Is murder still illegal?

I too had an at&t wireless phone. I was dealing w/ a creditor to whom I made an arrangement w/ to pay the debt off. The next day BCR calls me...I explain to them I made a deal w/ the previous collecter. I get a call 2 hours later, there was no record of my phone call w/ the previous bcr rep. They are terrible will not give you any info in the mail and I think get off calling you 10 times a day w/ no phone etiquette. If the bill were in some1 else's hands I could and would pay it off...

It is illeagle for a collecter to call 10 times a day. Their not even allowed to call 10 times a week.A collecter can call a max of 3 times a week.Also as I stated befor if you notify a collection agency IN WRITING Not to contact you by phone JOB OR HOME they can not call. The employees at BCR need to be trained on phone manners and on collection laws.

Thank you for the person that posted the website. I sent the BCR and email complaint which is under the contact us section. I informed them that I was also going to report them to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection. We have rights and harrassment is not allowed.

I too got a call from BCR regarding a Cingular account. I have a Cingular account that I've had for years and continue to pay in a timely manner. I asked what number they were referring to, and they wouldn't tell me. I asked to speak with a supervisor and they refused. I called Cingular and they told me they had no record of any problems with my account. So please, you people who claim that this company is honest, just lay off. This kind of pointless harassment is frightning.

Did you get a return number from them?? Were they wanting your bank info??

I have been having these annoying calls from BCR for months now asking for someone who has never lived here. I have told them repeatedly they have the wrong number. The annoyance hotline told me to get their billing address and write them to tell them to stop. So I asked for the address when they called next and they gave me an 800 number to call to get the info. The 800 number told me to call a 900 number as the 800 has changed. ?????? Is this a scam? How has anyone got these STUPID people to stop hassassing them?

i actually worked for this company and i have to tell you that all the accounts that are placed in the office are from that client so if you have a problem with the validity of the debt you do need to take it up with the cilent.ie-ebay, cingular, at&t wireless or whoever sent you to collections.
now if you want the calls to stop all you need to do is put it in writing and mail that to the company and accoring to the F.D.C.P.A they have to stop calling you. i do want to let you know that doing that will not solve anything all it will do is make the current collection agency close your account in there office and it will be placed with a new agency
so the best thing to do is to take up your issue with the client

I was getting several messages left on my machine from this company as well. I just called them today to see what it was about, because I know I don't have bills out there. It ended up being for somebody I've never heard of and they said my number would be removed. We'll see if they call back after that.

My mom happened to answer the phone tonight when they called. There was an oriental lady on the other end that waited forever to say something. They asked for me by name, but my mom told her that I wasn't here. She then asked if there was another number she could reach me at, but my mom said no, that I lived here but wasn't here right now. I wished she hadn't confirmed my residence because they are probably going to keep calling me. I just told her tonight, after reading this, not to answer it again.

I totally disagree with Ex- BCR employee.I wasnt even informed of who the company was until the 3rd odd trick they pulled. First they called and asked for me on behave of Cingular wireless to pay an old bill. A service I NEVER HAD. When I tried to explain they have the wrong person that I never used Cingular. they then wanted me to give them my SS# , Well that wasnt going to happen.

I asked them nicely to stop calling and they just continue to call right after 8am on weekends and anytime week nights ,( Im not here during the daytime )

I just hang up now when they call .So then they started sitting in the background until I said hello a couple of times before they asnwer.

And now I finally found out who they are with a machine that ask me to call them at their 1 888 number.

There is no reasoning or talking to these people and I hope they spend a million dollars trying to collect from me. They can call till im dead from old age.they will get nothing.

The only thing I cant understand is that how they stay in business so long breaking the laws and why the government on the state or federal level hasn't got involved.

The only you thing people deserve is the abuse you receive. As I have stated before ,Im not the person whom you are looking for and if you feel the need to call I'll be more then happy to levy the abuse you so surely deserve. Enjoy
