Redline Recovery Services: Can customers rely on it?

Is there a way to tell, other than opening a dialog with redline? Which after reading here, it sounds like I do not want to do until they validate the debt.

Call the creditor and ask.

Redline Recovery has been harassing me for over a month trying to find someone who owes a debt. That person does not live at my residence and I have no information on them. This person yelled and screamed that I was another person . They are very rude and unprofessional.

I recently got a call from redline recovery and was told that they had my JCpennys account in there office they told me that they sent me out a letter back in November and called me in Febuary which i new was a lie because i havent had a phone from october til march and i told the lady that no one had called me and she was full of crap and that i hadnt gotten anything in the mail she asked if i could set up a payment arangement for the account in question not thinking of it i did and it was for the total of 122 and they got there money my bank shows that but then they ran it threw 2 more times after that both times it bounced and now they are telling me that the person i spoke to a week ago no longer works for them funny right i had to stop all electronic checks from going threw on my accounts because they took all the money out of my account and over drafted it with bounced check fees but now that i have a problem the lady i talked to dont work there there is something up and now im trying to figure out how im going to pay the rest of my bills that were all due this last week

File a complaint with the FTC, the FCC, and your state's Attorney General's office.

THEY ARE TRYING TO COLLECT A CREDIT CARD WITH A 500.00 LIMIT WANTING 900.00 BUT WILL TAKE 525.00 IF I PAY IN 2 PAYMENTS LETTING THEM WITH DRAW MY MY CHECKING ACCT WHICH I DID NOT GIVE THEM MY INFO THEY CALLED MY SON WHICH I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY GOT HIS NUMBER STATING I NEED TO CALL THEM BEFORE 9 OCLOCK TONIGHT FROM THE LETTERS I'M READING ON HERE IS REALLY SCARING ME WHAT SHOULD I DO? THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE MY RIGHT PHONE #

Don't pay anything without a settlement letter in writing, and never give a collection agency your checking acct info. NEVER. Send a money order or get a pre-paid credit card.

I have filed several FTC complaints against Redline Recovery Systems due to their repeated robo calling. I have yet to contact them, but will be sending a written cease and desist per FCRA. You file complaints easily ftccomplaintassistant.gov

I have no debt, so they are probably looking for some guy named Cory that used to have my phone number five years ago. Nonetheless, their is no excuse for reckless, lazy, and harrassing debt collection practices.

They started calling me out of the blue every day now for several weeks. I have no debt with anyone. It's a recording I am getting. It seems they are running a scam or fishing.

Send them a Validation letter. If they cannot verify the debt, then send them a Cease & Desist letter. Their address is on their website: "http://www.rrs-llc.com/contact_us.html".

Mail it Certified, Return Receipt Requested.

I just received two notices in the mail to the attention of Mr. Nabal Attalla at my address. Curious...I called Redline to check into it. They said that Mr. Attalla and I share the same SSN and that's why I received his mail. The young kid must have mistaken me for an idiot because I know that no two people would ever have the same SSN. I'm a member of Lifelock so I placed a call. They said that Redline is known for using any means possible to collect a debt and that includes what they are trying to pull on me. Lifelock investigators will be calling Redline and I'll know more by tomorrow. Don't fall for it people.

You should file a police report. There is likely an Identity Theft going on here.

I just received a call from Redline and they are looking for my ex-roommate from over ten years ago! Since that time I have gotten married and moved 2000 miles across the country, when I inquired as to how they received my information she replied with "we have our ways". I told her if she has her ways, then she should be looking for my ex-roommate, not me! I found my ex-roommate searching the internet in less than 10 minutes, so why are they repeatedly calling and harrassing me?! Each person states that they're taking my phone number out of their computer, but obviously not!! What can I do?

Send them a Cease & Desist letter and file a complaint with the FCC, the FTC, and your State Attorney General.

a few months ago REDLINE RECOVERY got me into a payment plan and after reading all these pages of horror stories i placed a block on my payment method. after 3 months i just got a call today stating that if i dont call them back that it is considered me as " knowingly giving information i know wasnt vaild" and would pass my information to some other department. what should i do? i have given these people my money!

they called me again to day i have left messages wanting a settlement letter thye refuse to mail me anything they want to fax my work another way to get info thye have my work # now i dont know how they got it what can i do now

I recieved a call today saying they were looking for my brother for a default payment on a bill. I did not give them a current number for him, because I don't have one. I was wondering , he has never lived here and they somehow got my number. Is this legal to be giving that information to me, I am not a creditor and I don't need to know if he has acredit problem. I am wondering if he should take legal action against them.

I was sent a letter from Redline on a Tweeder credit card bill the company has been out of bussines for 1 1/2 yrs. The debt was $2,000 I have not rec'd a bill for over a yr. I called Redline today and the basically wanted $400 right away and $150.00 each mo. I offered to mo. pymt plain of $75 they told me that wasn't enough and would not accept it. They also told me that my wife would could take a loan out and new a lot about her financial situation. Also said she would be responsible for my debt. The person I spoke to was rude, disrespectul and threatening.

they call me t least once a day they will not send me anything else in the mail they say they keep calling me at my sons house too what can i do?

See my post above.

Hi all,
Im new here and was wondering if someone could help.
Red line has been calling me about a debt.
They said they are working for the crediter as a collector.
When i look at my credit repord the crediter they say they are working for has the debt listed as a charged off as a bad debt.
So my question is:
Did they buy the debt thats over 6 months old
or are they tring to collect for the crediter as they stated?
How do i find this out for sure?

Redline has been calling my home asking for my sister in law (husbands sister). The first time they called, it was a woman, and my husband spoke with her. She was very rude and harrassing towards him, she kept asking for "Betty" my husbands sister, but he informed her she had the wrong number. When the woman kept getting more rude he hung up. SHE CALLED RIGHT BACK! My husband asked her if she would like it if he called the police and she said go ahead, she wasn't doing anything illegal, but she shut up when he said it was harrassment. They have called several more times since then asking for Betty, and I don't understantd why!? She does not have a private number, so I do not know why they keep calling us asking for her! They are very rude, and my husband told his sister about it, but we still get the phone calls...Why are they calling us and not her, and how can we stop them from calling?

Thanks for the quick responce ChrysHenderson.
1 more question.
If the debt was on my credit report as a charged off as a bad debt does that mean red line is working for the crediter as a collecter and if i send a letter to verify the debt they can then verify it with the crediter or is that not leagle as there a crediter?
(Do they as a collection dept. have the right to send me a form
telling me i have only 30 days to request verification if they dont own the debt?)
Or should i just send a Cease & Desist letter first without asking to verify the debt.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Sorry ChrysHenderson as i am new to fourms and forgot to login.

They *have* to send you that letter saying that you have 30 days to dispute - *if* they have reason to believe it is your debt.

If you dispute it, then yes they have to verify that the debt is yours is you ask them to, but the FDCPA is ridiculously vague as to what that constitutes.

You can send them a Cease & Desist letter at any time you want them to cease & desist contacting you.

redline recovery called my neighbors and the neighbors gave me the message.. can they do that calling my neighbors to give me the message?

Yes, as long as they do not reveal to them that it is about a debt. You should make some contact with them, even if it is only a letter.

I have a legitimate debt that was purchased by Redline and I need to clear the debt in order to qualify for my house loan. I have the money to do so, but I really don't want to deal with them, especially after having read these reports. However I know I will have to.

What would be the best course of action to take to make sure that they don't try to screw me over once I send them my payment? How can I make sure that they report the account paid in full to the credit bureaus as soon as possible?

Make sure everything is in writing. You can negotiate for a settlement on paper too, just write them and let them know that you are able to pay (say 50% of the debt, but write the amount, not the percentage). Put on that letter that as soon as you receive the acceptance of the offer *in the mail* then you will send them a money order for $### right away!

The address (and more info about them) is here:

I have been being harrassed because a neighbor has the debt. The debt is with Bank of America. If BofA has pressure put on them they will be less likely to do business with bottom feeding companies like Redline.

Theoretically - possibly. However, BofA is going to do what *works*, that is how a business operates. Redline is highly successful at collecting debt *because* of their illegal tactics, because hardly anyone will stand up for their rights anymore.

I may possibly convince only one person to collect their $1000, and the rest will likely ignore me and keep allowing these companies to operate illegally, although I would like to think that I could be an inspiration - even if very small - for Americans to WAKE UP before their country is *gone*.

Seriously, Guest, I *don't* just blame Redline - just like I don't blame any of these corrupt politicians who steal our rights and trample upon our freedoms. Because it is *equally* the fault of the American people for just passively standing by whilst the rights of *others* (however marginal or marginalized by the media) are trampled - which *always* GUARANTEES that YOUR rights are next.

This has emboldened them because the American people allow their own government to trample upon their rights, so why *shouldn't* a collection agency get in on the action?

But maybe - just maybe - some people will FIGHT for their rights on such a minor point - debt collectors - that they will discover some *small* sense of Triumph that they will pass that on to their children who will learn to fight for their Rights - and by extension, the rights of others.

We are all in this together. NEVER allow another human to enslave you. And you may think this is an exaggeration, but the stresses caused by these collectors calling the wrong person, harassing people with no money, etc., is a direct invasion of their autonomy. Scapegoating helps no one. If Redline tramples the law, then it *IS* THEIR FAULT!! Period. When people allow them to by conceding, then it becomes their fault too. And hence complicity spreads. This is why it is said that oppression can never happen without the hidden will of us all.

These crumbs call my home and office daily. I'm at the point I wish I could grab their throats thru the phone! It's drop dead letter time! I don't even have a dilinquint account. Sometimes they ask for me, other times, they ask for a man or woman...First and last names are rarely ever even correct. Plus, the idiots they've got calling people all seem to have a speech impetement. WTF?

Send them a Cease & Desist letter, Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested. If they contact you again after you get the green card back, document it, and sue them and collect your $1,000.

If you mockingly say the "call may be monitored or recorded" like their message usually does when you call in you can often fool them into thinking you are only mocking them. But you have informed them.

the fax# is 716-250-4890 for the buffalo office.

I TOO HAVE RECEIVED CALLS FROM THIS COMPANY AND YES THEY ARE RUDE BUT I HAVE A QUESTION CAN THEY LOOK INTO THE OTHER BALANCES THAT COME UP ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT WITH OUT YOUR PERMISSION?

how can I sue redline for not giving me my mini miranda rights when the ccollector called me?

Redline Recovery is crazy. They call my house and when I called back to see what and who they are and want they began to act rude and talk crazy to me. I didn't give them any information about me and never will speak to them b/c they need something from me. As of now their # is blocked so they can continue to call day and night until they get tired I'm not concerned at ALL!

I am currently working with Redline Recovery on a debt that is legit. They have treated me well and I have not had any problems so far! My account rep is helpful. I think as long as they know you are trying to get the issue resolved, they will work with you. If I have any problems I will definitely report it on here, but so far so good!

OMG, these people are the rudest, most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. I get calls every 10 minutes from 8am until 9pm, every day. A Mr. Andrews apparently is handling my account and keeps calling me a loser, a liar, etc and I am NOT going to take it. How do I make them stop? I just got off the phone with them, and had asked to speak with a supervisor about this jerk and guess who they transferred me to?? Mr. Andrews - he told me I was harrassing him as he has other people who actually want to pay him. He told me to "take my sorry ass and go to hell"..nice. I am in the financial services business and have been for 20 years and have never been harassed like this before. What can I do????????

send a C&D letter.send it certified mail return receipt.if they never sent you anything in writing.send a DV letter.also send it certified mail return receipt.

is there a form letter for this otherwise what info goes into it? I REALLY have had enough of this company,. Can they REALLY freeze my assets, sue me, etc. I did not give them permission to pull my credit yet he had it and was making fun of me saying that the only current card is Victoria Secret and that I must be able to pay them because i'm a whore? Excuse me but WTF????

there are templates in the do-it-yourself section up top.i used those.you can also customize it to your liking.

Aren't they in violation of FDCPA if they keep calling someone over and over on the same day? I mean we are talking about absolute harassment. I am referring to the post where the CA is calling the person continuously between 8 AM and 9 PM. Is it $1000 per incidence of violation or just $1,000 for all violations together if you win in court on FDCPA violations?
