The names above are some of the ones used, all of the same comapny. They are abusive in thier calls and with numerous harassing phone calls even at places of work! If you have a problem with them (ie- not your debt, a debt that was paid, or a debt that you are in dispute with the company over) and they don't stop calling you after you've notified them, file on them in court. You can do this in any county Justice of the Peace couort for under $100. Keep your phone records handy and also be informed by looking over Finance Codes 392, Debt Collection. Those are the laws by which ALL collection agencies are to follow.
I have filed on them 11/24/10 and now waiting on a court date. They were abusive, demanding money, calling me at work numerous times even after being informed not to call me on my work phone, even calling my 84 year old parents at 8am demanding information!! They denied they did any of this in their attorneys court filed response, but thank God for phone records!!!
Stay informed!! Also contact your State Attorney Generals Office, the Federal Trade Commission, and your Better Business Bureau and file complaints. Easy to do on line!
