They are listed as collection agency in BBB record. So they have to follow fdcpa rules. Write them letter and send it via CMRRR. They cannot start collection procedure before responding to your demand for validation.

Whats a CMRRR

CMRRR means "Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested".

How much can they legally demand from you a month if the debt is valid?

Well They may not be willing to work anything out with you and demand all the money now...but if that were the case and you couldnt do it, they would take you to court and the judge would set up payments that are suitable...But do try to negotiate with them for something that you can afford. They may be nice about it or they may be hard butts...Just dont let them scare you or intimidate you

Let them validate the debt before you start worrying about paying. No matter what,as the old saying goes.They can't squeeze blood from a rock.

I started receving calls from them through the # 866 640 6996 with the extention # 2800 and a reference #. A recording says that it is an important business matter . They claim I owe them money. I read online that I should write them a letter and tell them to stop harassing me. Also send a copy of letter to BBBureau in Ohio where they are out of.

They have been calling and harrasing me saying that they are attorneys and will sue my company forcing me to give it to them. What can I do? I have told them several times that the total balance is not mine, my ex signed the contract for the bill not me,but they won't listen?

Jennifer: Check your state laws about recording phone calls and then start recording them. It is illegal to threaten you like that. Also send them a DV letter. If your ex signed the contract then there is no way they can go after you (might be able to if you live in a community property state and you two were married when the debt was made- but not sure)

i have gotten a call from them also the women was very rude to me wouldnt talk to me cause she wanted to talk 2 my husband and said it was a fraudulent account cause i messed up on the address and by the time my husband get off work they are closed so i dont know what to do i want to set up a payment plan what should i do any advice?

MM........'Burgess'..does this office have anything to do with this Douglas Burgess? All kinds of threads, abiut this guy.

make sure that they are able to follow fdcpa..if they are collecting for a contracted account, then they don't need to follow fdcpa..there are three types of collections, first party, third party and commercial accounts. sounds to me like you have a commercial account, if that is true, no fdcpa rules apply there. they only apply on third party collections. you said your husband signed a contract, that is the proof..they have a signature for a company contract...you might not be liable but if it is in a community property state..and you received money from the business from your husband at the time the contract was in effect..and if you were not inc or llc, you might be liable to pay it back especially if you guys were a dba..work something out with the company..they might settle on this amount due..it is not going away.. and can get worse if the company they collect for and the amount is high enought to sue on.

They claim they have "contracts" for these debts/ they claims they are a law firm/ ALL LIES! Its a commercial agency that makes people think they are a law firm collecting for yellow pages or verizon but NEVER EVER can produce a "contract". Dont give out your banking info/ If i wasnt an honest hard working human being, i'd have so much money and credit.Know why? I STILL have all the routing,checking,savings and any other financial and personal info that you people give out this fraudulent company. I quit b/c they are louuuusssy, liars and Lazy!Especially Rochelle Montgomery.440-735-5100 call em and tell em about their selves!

Consumer 1,

A commericial account is any account opened by a business to another business. The liability falls on what type of credit report was run. If the account was run with a Tax payer id (TIN) or the other business credit reporting company number (can't remember the name) or a SSN. If it was a SSN it makes it a personal loan subject to fdcpa.

this company has also been harrassing us. they say the represent verizon for directories avertising. we did not renew this but they kept billing us for automatic renewals. the total now is 1286.00 however the garfield that agressivelly calls and leaves messages says it is now 1500. the sent letter referring to take us to court. i do not wish to even talk to these people the are hostile. does anyone have advise.
