Guest,

Welcome to forums. collection agencies can call you between 8.00 am and 9.00 pm in your time zone, including weekend. However, if you are not comfortable with this, you can write to them mentioning the time period that suits you. Once they receive your request, they are bound to obey it.

You can also specify the mode of contact � if you like only correspondence from them; tell them not to call you any more. They shall be legally obliged to it.

Ben -

Unfortunately, though, IWCB is not listed by the BBB, so this information can not be verified this way. My attorney says if they're not listed there or in licensing info, the only other way to verify is to ask them. I'm doubting they'll admit their association with Ted Crosby!

Thanks

Jennifer C - I also got a call for someone who did not speak English very well tellimg me he was from Jacoby & Meyers that represents United Federal Bank. He gave me the same line as IWCB, same instructions to money gram the money, and they were going to download information, and charges aganist me. Gave me the number and two difference ext numbers that him and this other person share, they are one person with two different names, Shawn and Smith, keeps wishing me "Good Luck" left messages at my job. Left one today and I have not returned the calls. Checked - no such bank in WY or law firm by the name of Jacoby & Meyers in WY or Florida. The real Jacoby & Meyers should know that these people are using their name in there scam.

This company told me that they were going to contact my local Prosecuting Attorney for fraud....reguarding a defaulted payday loan, I have dealt with Wllis and Crosby also, I am scared, and think I shouldn't give into them, but if they keep contacting my husband at his place of employment, he will be fired. I asked them to validate the debt, the guy I spoke to was Charles Seymore, he said, they don't validate, and then I told him, that last time we spoke I informed him not to call at work, after I said that, he said, since I wanted to go that route, I obviously wasn't intrested in paying this debt, and I should hire an attorney, because he is sending my file to the Pulaski County Prosecuting attorney for charges of fraud, and so on....and then he hung up on me.

what do I do, to stop these people? Help!

Brandy,

I would suggest you to settle the debt with original lender. Speak to the company you took the loan from. Propose a payment plan or offer a lump sum amount if possible. Ask them to take out your account from collection agency and try hard to pay off the loan. This way you can get rid of these people.

IWCB is not holding any goodwill. Check a related forum discussion here-

Ask your husband to inform his employer before they start calling. Being in debt is not an offense, as you are trying to pay it.

ask for frank(runs the show)or wife evelyn or tammy teds personal assistant) or mary(once imprisoned for cocaine) these are real names of collectors breaking the law thier
frank is under house arrest and wears an ankle bracelet and turns himself into the sherriffs office after work,maybe you should call the police in jacksonville and report these complaints to them i would think that would be a violation of his probation........if they answer security desk you might have one of thier multiple names they go by please check business liscensing in wyoming....if your sending $$$ western union to a florida address then your not in wyoming ,also you can complain to western union and to money gram and they will pull there service. then there will be no way that they can get money

I got a call from this Interstate Wire Complaint Bureau with a telephone number 1-800-673-7429 saying that they were filing charges against me from a company called EPProcessing and I have tried to call back and the number is either busy or a recording comes on saying you have reached the desk of the receptionist. Now come on a real legal bureau would have a recording or person saying who they are. When I did reach someone they would not tell me who they were and some one who did'nt speak english good answered the phone. I look on the web for this company this is how I got this site. The only bureau that has wire fraud is the FBI and the FBI only investigates wire fraud which is transactions done like racketeering and illegal money transactions done over the net like dummy companies taking consumers money. I hope this helps someone.

Does anyone have a real address for IWCB yet? That one on Tomes Ave is not correct, according to the company that I spoke with, that really does reside there. They said they are an agent that helps companies register to do business in WY and that IWCB is one of their clients. Anyway, if the moneygrams are being addressed to WY, they must truly be there........Need to send my Certified but need to get a valid address.

THANKS!

I am still confused with these names � Allied Interstate, Interstate Collection, and Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau. Are these aliases of same company?

Lisa, please visit this page-

And can you ask that agent for the address of IWCB since they are his client.

I just recievd a call from this organization " Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau" and spoke with Investigater Rowe, who said that I was being broght on charges of Federal Bank fraud and that I owed money from to a lender from 2004. He threated to come to my job and arrest me. Now, I am sure that the lender was paid, and they want me to do a money gram to there office in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Are these guys for real. The number of contact that was given to me was 904-356-0959. Do anyone have information about this group.

I also received a call from Lisa Plish? at 18006737429 X202. All the message said was that she was calling from the bureau and that me or my attorney need to call her on some matter. At first I was scared to death, but after talking to her I started to notice some discrepinces in what she said. She told me that she had tried to contact me several times and even left a message with my "son", but I don't have any children. She also told me the total I owed was $520, but I ony borrowed $200. Inresponse to this she told me that I should have read my contract. I told her I could afford to pay that much so she asked me how much I had. The she came back & asked if I could borrow another $150. She made it seem like she was doing me a favor by letting me make restitution on the loan. She gave me 1/2 hour then she was going to call back to see what I could pay. Once I got off the phone I did a search on the internet about the company & discovered this website. I can't tell you how glad I am for the info in this website. I have already filed a complaint with the FTC & I am going to file a complaint with the AG for CT. I am also going to file a complaint with the company's state. Hopefully if enought people file we can get rid of agencies like this.

Hello everyone .. I just thought you should know .. I worked for Ted for about a month till I realized all that crap he was doing was direct violation of fdcpa .. you should know that Interstate Wire Compliance Beru, Jacobi and Mayors, Homefront Security (something or other sorry I can't recall that one) and several other names are all him .. if you look up the address ... 2710 Tomes Ave Ste 128, Cheyenne, WY 82001 you will see that they all lead back to Ted Crosby .. aka .. Ellis, Crosby and Associates .. he used a booking agency in WY to file 7 different company names .. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR ... DO NOT PAY THEM A DIME .. I KNOW FOR A FACT THEY ARE NOT REPORTING BACK TO THE ORIGNAL CREDITOR AND THEY ARE NOT PAYIING THE ORIGNAL CREDITOR .. call the orginal company you got the loan from and pay them .. the crap I saw while working there made me sick so I left .. PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS PREDITOR .. there are ligit collections agencys out there .. I work for one .. and we don't use the scare tactics that he promoted on his collections floor .. just an FYI .. I am not saying don't pay your creditors just do yourself a favor and call them directly and make arrangemnts with them

Thank you very much for the info, I was worried about the situation, but after reading the many post's from other people I decided that I was taking the right steps to protect myself. I am sure they will try to call me at work again on Monday, as they have not yet attempted to contact me at the home number, but I will advise them that I have reported them to the FTC & the FL AG office. I also reported them to the CT AG office and will be sending a verification of debt letter to them.

Dawnie · Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 11:16 am Subject: If you

If you let one of your supervisors speak to them and tell them that you cannot take personal calls at work they will not call you back. They called me over 1-1/2 ago and I have not heard from them since. Call there buff and they will leave you alone
