AMO Recoveries - What allegations have people made against them?

I had a bill go to collections, I got one notice for AMO and I have been asking for statements every month when I send in my payment and they haven't sent shit. I have no idea how much I still owe and now I lost that one statement I got from them and I have no idea where to send the payment.

Hey Consumers!!,
I work for AMO Recoveries, and I just want you to know that I am NOT the typical debt collector. I never ever yell at anyone to pay their bill and I NEVER expect anyone to pay the full balance if its over like 200 some dollars. In today's economy, we can't focus on paying the balance in full, but we can focus on making payment arrangements and WORKING with the consumer to reach a median. I tend to be successful because I am extremely nice to each person I deal with and I treat them with respect and dignity, just like any human being should be- and I live by that. Stuff does happen, and not all collectors realize this, and I wish they would. But, to those who are being honest, and do mean well- you rock, we do appreciate the honesty.

Can’t believe the kind of services of the”AMO Recovery Services Company.”
They keep calling every day when I am at work, they don’t have education, they
Talk trash not knowing the situation, they want me to give them money over the
Phone… sure!! Like I am stupid to give this people my numbers; they make me think
about crazy callers want to full me. Sorry, but if this company really exist I need to talk
with someone that is respectful and is going to listen what I have to say. Also I need some kind of paper that shows me that I owe them money. I am not doing anything over the phone

Contact an attorney. Let one vermin go after another.

Any advice? I have been paying amo and recently misssed a payment, totally spaced it nonetheless they are now telling me that their client needs a substantial amount now or they are going to pursue court actions, there is no way I can come up with what their asking for, I can barely eke out what I have been paying. Any advice out there? My credit is shattered due to the economy, no possible way of getting a loan.

if they are threatening you by saying they are going to garnish your wages and serve you , they better be able to do that, if not that is a violation of the FDCPA laws and its a $1000 fine per violation..so find out if they can take it that far and if they indeed have an internal law office that handles their cases..if not you can sue them for all the violations... if you told them not to call your place of employment by law they have to stop and put a block on that number, because you can lose your job.. if they are cussing you out thats a violation in itself..i work for a collection company we are top rated in service with very few complaints so i know how it all works..good luck

FDCPA violations are up to $1000 per action not violation. - ND

a legit company?
I just recieved a letter stating I owe 60 grand. I know of no such credit at all, then I recieve this collection letter. Is this an identity theft or scam?

they are a bottomfeeding scam.send them a DV letter.send it certified mail return receipt.that should end it before it really starts.

i have been getting calls from 800-238-1138. a little bit of online research lead me to amo recoveries.
the messages that i get ask for me, (using my true name) then ask me to press #1 on my phone if it is me. i press the #1, and then i get a message saying that no one is available to pick up my call.
i dont know what this is all about. but it is getting very annoying doing this every month or so. how can i get them to stop calling me? (without changing my phone number)

I never even heard of this company before they took 2 payments via electronic check out of my account within one week. Can they do that if I have never heard of them?

It is actually illegal to threaten with garnishing wages before the court makes the decision to do so. Record any proof of them making such threats, get a consumer attorney and you can put an end to it once and for all.

Its really too bad that the thousands of people who have good experiences with this company, helping them rid themselves of their debt, are not on here looking for a reason to vent, seek out validation or assistance.

I am one who investigated, realized i owed it, paid it and was perfectly fine with the demeanor and professionalism of the collection agent I worked with. In my opinion you just need to be proactive in taking care of your business whether you are able to pay or not.

Of course if you are unable to get a professional attitude from the agent you are working with, take note on the fact of whether they are following federal law and ask for a supervisor.

anyway....better things to do ....just wanted to get the alternate prospective out there.

so had a great experience.good for you.just an fyi,if what you posted is true.don't be suprised if another bottomfeeder comes a calling.it is never a question of owing.you should make sure you are paying the right people.in this age of scams,and id theft,it is just good sense to get details in writing before paying anyone.that's my perspective.

must be losing my touch.this has shill written all over it.a bunch of scammers who threaten don't have anyone with a good experience.been a long week sorry all.

As a professional collector, no longer third party though, you folks need to Google FDCPA. That will answer all your questions. Under federal law, they cannot call you at your place of employment if your TELL them it jeopardizes your job. It does not have to be a letter. To stop harassing you at home, it does take a leter, certified. They can then contact you only for two other reasons...to let you know collection activity is ceasing, or they are proceeding with legal action.

They cannot talk to anyone but you (or your wife) if it is a community property state.

Contact your state atty general....they will tell you all the ins and outs.

Good luck!

I recieved a letter from certain AMO Rec. stating I need to pay my balance in full. It was actually a HELOC attached to then a rental property. We had a tenant that was so unfortunate and was in financial difficulties and so she wasn't able to pay the rent for few months and when they finally leave the property, the house was vacant for more than half a year and at the same time bec of the bad economy we are in, me and my husband lost a large amount on our income and wasn't able to pay that certain bill. Now, we are in a good position to start making payment on that account but we want to make the payments to the original creditor. We tried to contact the new new bank who purchase the old bank where we owe that money and they told me that they can no longer locate the account. They were saying that the account might have been closed when they purchased the bank. Can somebody help me and tell me what I should do to make the bank reinstate my loan account. I have been hearing and reading a lot of difficulties and bad experiences dealing with debt collectors and so I prefer to re start paying my bills to the original creditors instead of the debt collectors.

I have never heard of them and now they are calling a phone number that is unlisted/unpublished and was never given to any business. I told them they need to remove this number and that it was not the number of the person they were looking for and they are still calling. I have never received and type of notice from these people for any kind of debt collection. I am getting to the point were I will take action if I have to.
