DO NOT SETTLE WITH THESE PEOPLE. They will offer you a settlement and set up payments. When you get through paying the agreed settlement, they will tell you they made a mistake and that you have to pay more. They are con-artist! I will file for bankruptsy before paying them a dime. Also, it really pisses them off when you call them about fifteen times a day and screw with them. It doesn't get anything done, but it's fun.

I have been giving $100.00 payment for the past year. this month i was not able to make pyment because my husband lost his job. i changed my home number in Jan. so they have no way of contacting me. what these rude people did is somehow found my niece that i have not seen for 4 months and started to harrass her looking for me. She is 17 years old and they are calling her cell phone. I have this rule that i do not give out relatives #'s. so how the HELL did they get mine????

I too have gotten callls from 866-241-3237. I called their toll free #, 877-362-8766 and was told they were trying to contact a person whom I don't know. So, she said she would remove my number from their list.

I hope this helps. We will see.

A collection agency that informed me that they are handling my debt collection has been calling several times per week. They have also called what they call my contacts. Is there a letter I can write to have them stop calling myself & the contacts? I have been in contact with them recently & had set up certain amount of payment for 3 months then we would go from there.
The original agreement was to pay with automatic deduction from my bank account. However I don't think I trust them knowing so much of my business. If I tell them I wish to pay with a cashiers check & they refuse that offer is my bill then considered paid? Can they refuse a payment if it is not their terms or way?
If they stopped bugging me so much I would feel better about paying the bill. I do intend to pay the debt, but cannot pay large amounts or even the same amount each month. My pay is not the same each pay period. Somehow they don't seem to understand that if I could afford to I would pay the whole thing off in the first place & that I still have to feed family & pay other bills. Do these collectors get some sort of commission for what the collect each month? If so no wonder they are so ruthless.
Also when they do send a statement the balance never reflects a decreased total. The person I spoke with last said she could offer to lower the total by half, but I never got that in writing & it has not reflected that way on the statements of the past 3 months. Are they scamming me? What can I do to make sure the money I send is actually going to pay down this debt? Can I send payment to the original service provider? If so how can I be sure they are putting the money toward that debt? This is very overwhelming for me, but still trying to get it paid off.

I would like some guidance to what is legal for me to require from them if anything. I have been reading some of the other Q & A's on here, but nothing seems to fit my situation.
Thank you for any help you can be.
I am sitting down now to try to compose a letter to them.

I received a call from Focus Receivables Management, LLC. They left a message on Saturday and I tried to call them back within about 10 minutes and I got a message to call back during normal business hours. I finally got through and had to give them my home phone number, and they gave me a name I told them I dont know him, I told the lady I tried to call before and she said I didnt talk to her and then she laughed and hung up. I am going to send a letter to the corporate address and make a complaint, If anyone wants to do the same the lady I talked to was named Elizabeth. The company needs to be shut down or reprimanded.
