OMG, I hate this company. I owed on a chase cc. They froze my account which was in citi bank and got 217.00 from me. I have no idea how they even got that account #. I fought with citi bank, but they said there was nothing they could do. This was about 6 months ago. Anyone have an idea if I can somehow get my money back

Hmm interesting, did you ever set up some kind of arrangement with chase previously using your account. I'm not sure how they were able to freeze your account without some kind of court order.

There must have been some sort of judgement, that is the only legal way it could happen. Do you remember getting any court papers or anything mailed to you. If you are able to do so, I would check the county public records (if you are able to on-line) and type in your own name and any judgement should be listed on that.

It's possible you never received anything due to maybe change of address. This happened to my cousin just last week. She got notice of a garnishment and had no clue to who it was. I jumped on the public records website and it showed two dates of her trying to get served, but being returned.

I was just denied for a credit card so I checked my credit reports and found a charge for a "seriously over due" payment of 70$. I called the offices and they stonewalled me with these receptionists who don't seem to speak any english other than the lines they've rehearsed. They refuse to give me any info unless I give them my whole social security number over the phone. I tried my full name, phone number, address, even the so-called account number listed in their claim against me - nada. Now, because of their claim, my credit score dropped and I can't get a credit card.
Real a-holes, these people.

for what its worth...

never communicate any identifiing information over the phone...ecspecially to people with foreign accents...

never admit to any debt...you are innocent until proven guilty...no matter what the truth is

if your debt is beyond the statutes of limitations...send a certified letter, return reciept and the whole nine yards...telliing them not to contact you any further on this debt ever again...and thats it...dont admit to the debt, dont identify the debt and you should never hear from them again...if they do...you can sue them for costs plus 1k per violation...

oh...and...never admit to being who they are looking for...never confirm your ID...if you do...it takes them from a fishing expedition to a confirmed contact...and they will keep calling until you are blue in the face...send the letter and its over...they have 5 days to send you a letter after the 1st contact...your reply should be to NEVER CONTACT ME AGAIN ON THIS DEBT...period...end of story...

by law...they cannot lie to you on the phone...they do...they cannot refuse to give you contact info, including address...they will...so dont feel bad about evading any confirmation of debt with these scumbags...they are planting lies about garnishment and siezed accounts to generate fear...they are only allowed to garnish your money if you have a judgement...and then, only if the judgement is properly maintained...if they dont renew the judgement and keep it current its worthless...thats what these junk collectors have...worthless debt that they buy for .02 on the dollar...

They left a message for me on my work voicemail. That was the first time they ever called me and it was an automated message. I'm thinking why would they leave an automated message like that not knowing if this was my direct line. It said if you are not (MY NAME) then don't listen to this message...ok so do they think people would really hang up.
I did receive a letter from them last month and they are collecting on my T-mobile account.

My son is getting calls from them regarding a supposed debt to AT&T. He has never done business with AT&T for either land line or cell phone. They are calling my number seeking him, but he hasn't lived with me for 10 years. When he called them, they told him what he owes to AT&T but refused to give him any contact info to resolve this directly with AT&T; they said they didn't have any contact number for AT&T. Surprising, since they claim to be collecting for AT&T.

They are a slime collection agency full of aubergines that have nothing else to do. They buy questionable debt at best. If you call the companies they represent, the cos. do not know who they are.

This is crazy!!!!

I received a letter in the mail from this Mitchell N. Kay place saying I owed almost $200.00 to Regions Bank. I have never EVER had an account with them. I have not received any phone calls, just this letter. I googled the website they gave at the bottom of the letter and it would not come up. It did bring up this forum, however, and now after reading all these horror stories I have reported them to the Federal Trade Commission. With the luck everyone else is having, I do not see the point in trying to contact them. Does anyone know if it is legal for them to freeze the account I have now? Thank you to everybody who has posted comments. You have saved me and countless other people from being scammed!
