BUREAU OF COLLECTION RECOVERY INC

Since your office has not respond to my calls nor letter regarding Cingular issue, I believe your Inc. is not willing to solve the above problem.

Cingular business in Benicia gave me three different cell numbers. A mistake was made by a Cingular Consultant. I want to know what number Cingular is trying to collect $116.74 for.

PLEASE STOP CALLING MY HOME.I do not respond to rude und unprofessional people.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, i think that you are mistaken. As the heading of this thread indicates, this thread is a database of credit collectors. there is valuable information so that you can contact the creditors in order to address any issue that you have with them.

Writing a threatening letter on this website does not reach the company that you are angry with. try reading the first post again to see the contact information. try contacting them in order to address this problem. Don't attack us, we are only trying to help you get in contact with the creditors who are harassing you.

This company is fraudulant!!!!!!!!! Do not give them money. They are trying to collect from us for eBay in the amount of $115.13 and eBay says they have NEVER heard of them. No true company would harass or respond in this way!!!!! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!!!!!!!!! JAIL JAIL JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do think this company is fraudulent. I got the exact same letter for a Kamenskiy Slava, who doesn't even live at my adress, asking for $70 as payment for some item. All items that I order off E-Bay are payed for.

I agree, these people are nasty. They sent me a fraudulent AT&T Wireless bill. You should not list them as a recovery company. You should remove them as a contact.

To stop them or any other agency from harassing you, simply write them a letter instructing them to contact you only mail and not by your phone number ____________. This is a lawful manner in which to deal with them. I agree they are usually very persistent and very rude. collection agencies have yet to learn that this method will never get them good results.

My friend sent me a copy of fdcpa Notice apparently from Bureau of Collection Recovery, Inc. 888-714-2342

The amount was for $36.04 to eBay, Inc.

My friend does not have an eBay account.

It's hard to believe that a legitimate company would send such a notice knowing that legal action can be taken against them.

It's easy to believe that a disgruntled person is sending the phony notices in an attempt to bring the company down.

I'm sending the copy to eBay.

Please contact me by mail only not by my phone number.
Thank you.

I received a letter from Bureau of Collection Recovery too and saying that I owe an eBay debt when I don't have an account through eBay, never went on eBay, nor I even know that eBay needs an account to access. I'm totally lost becuase that letter came out of nowhere. I only received it from the mail man, not even from my mailbox! The address printed on the letter is not even my address. I've never lived there before and it's under my name. When I called this company, they never responded to me and keeps on telling me that I'm only collecting the debts, don't ask me any other questions and just read the letter. The letter explains everything. I agree with what you're saying, this company is fraud! When I asked them to verify information for me to prove that this is my information, my debt, they have nothing to say, except "pay the bill, or read the letter". If they are professional collectors, they wouldn't be so irresponsible, and would try to verify information so that they can get their debts sooner!!! fraud company!

I got a letter from this debt collector too, and I don't understand how and why. Do any of you know how I can contact eBay for more information? or how I can send a copy of this notice to eBay?

Do you have any other specific information about eBay and their location? My search for them will be more accurate.

I'm not quite sure, like in the earlier forums, I saw someone said that they would send a copy to eBay and make sure how the letter got to them. But when I got onto eBay.com, there is no contact information, so I just wanted to find a way to contact eBay and find out why I owe them money and did they really forward this case to that Bureau of Collection Recovery. This is a total shock for me because I've only went to eBay.com for like 2-3 times, I never knew that eBay needs to create an account, I just don't know anything about eBay and suddenly, they tell me that I owe them money. It's just crazy!

I also recently received a letter re: a $40.10 debt to e-bay. I have NEVER done business with e-bay: used BCRs instructions to pay e-bay on-line, does'nt work cuz I don't have an e-bay acct or password. Am listing this as a total scam, hope that the inventors of this are kidnapped by aliens!!!!!

I'm so glad to see all of these people had a problem also. I received a letter claiming I owed At&t Wireless money. I NEVER had an account with At&T Wireless. I now have an attorney on this case.

my dad got a letter from the "bureau of collection recovery", saying we owed cingular, and if we didn't send them a letter disputing the bill within 30 days, they would consider it valid.

we have never recieved communication from cingular themselves regarding this debt. my dad freaked out and gave it to me to deal with.

i immediately got the feeling that something wasn't right. they have called here several times and harassed my parents, and communication by phone has been almost impossible because we couldn't understand their foreign accents.

the letter is dated 8/16, dad handed me the letter on 9/13 (gee, thanks dad). so theres only 3 more days until they "consider the debt valid".

why i think this is a scam:
1. no real letterhead or official stationery
2. immediate demand of payment
3. 30 days until we consider the debt "valid" seems a bit odd
4. no itemization of the charges
5. no official cingular logos
6. no contact information for cingular
7. i doubt a huge company like cingular would need a tiny company in MN to collect their bills
8. harassing phone calls
9. when we do talk to them on the phone, we can't understand their foreign accents
10. no communication from cingular about this
11. i looked up the business online and found at least three different phone numbers different from the ones in the letter
12. also while looking online i discovered that the business was started on 3/3/05. a business that young is a bit suspicious.

i am going to send them a *polite* letter disputing this debt, as well as contact the BBB.
