The same words ECA used once upon a time. Take my suggestion; please do not pay them until you see the debt validation. I doubt, they are not reporting back to original creditor. Speak to your creditor directly if possible and settle with them.

I previously got calls from a Krystal Freeman who hung up on me when I told her not to call me at work. Now I am getting them from a Stone Rockwell who called me at work and then asked to speak with my supervisor. The number I was given is 800-673-7429.

Sounds to me that they are running out of things to say when they realize the heat is getting hotter. I can just imagine how disorganized their offices are since they have to keep hiding and moving locations.

I wonder how much longer it'll be before Ted gets thrown in prison for 10 years. I'm getting anxious for this to get to trial so I can watch it on CourTV.

After looking at some of the comments posted here I am simply going to fight fire with fire. I already called the number that was left and the lady answers "security desk" and will not give me an address. All she does is ask me whose call I am returning or hangs up on me. I can not even get these people to tell me who it is that they are "collecting" on behalf of. I am already contacting the FTC to see what information they have on this company and add to it as well if asked.

Does this name and phone ring a bell with any of you?
Frank Miller and his number 10800-830-5927

I know they are part of the scam and have heard these lines before but can't place the name or number. I think I have read about this on this site

Please advise - tole them I would have my attory call the back and when I started asking questions would not get answers - gave them a curve ball they could not handle
Thanks

if you will talk to them like they talk to you they will leave you alone. If they can't verify it in writing they do not have a leg to stand on.

I just got hung up on (after asking basic questions as to his company's profile and information) by Scott Schneider from this company who told me he was a mediator for the debtors and I needed to send him money by wire, directly to him to show a good faith effort in paying. Only then would he be able to show the debtor that I was willing to settle out of court if they agreed. He even put me on hold for a few moments to make the imaginary phone call to them and ask to settle. To my shock(being a smart ass here), they actually agreed according to him. What a guy eh? The number he left was 1-800-673-7429, ext 224.

As with most, I am not denying my debt, but I had a mediacl emergency with one of my sons and things happen. It will get paid eventually. These people take the cake.

I received a call today from Liz Wade from Interstate and she asked me for my attorney info...I was like what for...She said I was being prosecuted for theft by deception or fraudlent conversion...She said I had til 11:00am the next day to pay 1100.00 or my employer would be contacted..She said she had all kinds of evidence against me and would prosecute...Is this legal and what on earth should I do...Advise please...I need to know if I should get an attorney or pay these people...HELP!!!!

Rhonda7, read this thread where you earlier posted your query.

Rhonda7, Liz Wade is one of them - she called me a few months ago. Giving me the say routine. Talked to my attorney - they have to follow legal procedures- ask for it in writing. File a complaint with the AG in Florida and FTC, etc. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY -
we have all been in your shoes just keep reading the postings I did and thankful I did. Now when they call I have a little fun with them and start to ask them questions. PS United Federal Bank and Eagle Federal Banks are dummy names I cheked in the state of WY with the Div. Of Banking and no such banks and if they tell you they are from Jacobi and Mayor that is fake also.

Liz Wade just called me to inform me that my paperwork was being submitted and that she needed my attorney to call her. I asked for vaildation of my debt and for her to send me something and she got very defensive saying that they did send me something. I informed that I had reported them and to leave me alone and my place of business. I also asked her where she took her acting classes at cause she was such a good drama queen.

rhonda7,

Go through the previous pages of this thread. It would help you with confidence and support.

If you really have some unpaid loans, contact your creditor directly and try to settle it. Some feedback on them shows that they are not reporting back to the original creditor.

Oh, Im not denying that I owe...But things happen in your life where some things are more important..I will make arrangements to pay thru the original creditor..I just dont wont these people to call me again...

Rhonda

Contacting the original creditor is the smartest move. In the meantime, keep tabs on any complaints you make against Ted Crosby. He's currently hidding, apparently, and is already in trouble with his previous company Ellis Crosby & Associates. Paying "Interstate Collections", would not only mean that you'd have to pay again, but they'd also keep the money. They're having you send it via Western Union, which means it would be almost impossible to prove who you really paid.

And always remember to remain strong when speaking to them on the phone. You're the one who is in control.

Regards-
Mike

I know that you are not running away from your responsibility. I do admit that circumstances often restrict our movements. Contact your creditor and show your willingness to pay the debt. I hope they will cooperate with you.

Also request them to withdraw your account form collection. This might stop the harassing calls.

Thanks Mikey...I do feel better now since I have been reading the posts on here...I didnt sleep at all for worrying that my employer would be involved...I will be strong on this...that is a guarantee.
