Default Burgess law

I am an ex-collector for this firm, and i thought i was working for an upstanding company! WRONG! these people are rotten and anyone that gives them any info regarding their accounts(banking) is putting theirselves at risk of this so-called law firm cleaning them out. when i left, i thought i had actually done some good and helped a few people to improve their credit situation. weeks after i left, i found out that burgess was going under and tried to take withdrawals from several accounts that payment plans were agreed upon, and they tried to take out the balances in full...i felt horrible for these people because i actually tried to work out comfortable arrangments to help them repay their debts in a way that was easy for them. never admit to a debt...require validation of the debt before ANYTHING is discussed! and always always get a settlement if you decide to pay, but get the terms in writing before you set up or send payments!! these places will settle for less than 50%! ive authorized balances down to as little as 23% so keep at em, they WILL go lower, no matter what they say...worse case, hang up and give them a few weeks to stew, then call back and DEMAND a settlement!! Good Luck!!

This company is a scam. Do not pay them any money and seek legal advice if they threaten you. They often call about debts that you either a) don't own or b) are beyond the statute of limitations. They get these after other companies no longer want them or can't collect them because the statute has expired. Document everything and sue them for a few thousand dollars very easily in a quick settlement. Put these con artists out of business.

Default burgess law firm

don''t feel bad we had same problem agreed to make arrangements they agree to send paper work. they got money we got no paper work on the 3rd installment we noticed the back draft was going to someone other than burgess. when we caalled they told us they had sold our collection to another group- when i called them all i could get was a recording an no one would call back so we closed acct and opened another.
no they have sold to someone else and said since we closed acct that are going to sue us for "check fruad" the company called "national processing". they did offer to call on our behalf and see if new agency would be willing to work with us other wise we now owe2500.00 pluse whatever goes along with criminal charges of check fraud. spoke with check fraud person and he said i could take them to court for illegal practice, threats and something else.

here's the thing -- even if somebody owes a debt ... who is the caller? have you ever heard of them before? how do you know they are not just crooks? I mean, if you have a credit account with First National Bank, and First National Bank says, we want you to deal with Joe Smith at a particular contact point, that's one thing; but if Tom Brown calls you ... who is he? you don't him from Adam -- I've gotten spam email from people claiming to be affiliated with banks I've done business with, where it was clear the email was a complete fraud; I've gotten letters in the mail offering to settle an account, citing an account number, where I checked and that account number did not correspond to any account I had
