Just received a computer generated phone call from 888-913-2337. So I called it back and they stated they were Nationwide credit. Is this the same nationwide credit that was sued in Atlanta Georgia? Has anyone dealt with them?


As per the reports of budhibbs, this company has problems in providing the complete documentation on the fdcpa and FCRA disputes. Employees are also lacking the knowledge of FDCPA acts and this has overall resulted in the degradation of the company.

Request them for debt validation if they are collecting on any of your past debt. Follow the FDCPA guidelines and you won't be scammed by a company doing illegal business.

I used to work for them. Walked out due to poor upper management at the OPS and Director levels. I was a senior manager. Their practices with MCI long distance accounts was shamefull. Employee's used to "blind call" long distance customers and when the customer would answer we would hangup after listening long enough to determine if the customer was a private household or a business. Mind you the NCI employee would not speak a single word on the call. The determination was based upon how the person answered the phone. Based on the answer we would "BLOCK" (take away long distance service) or let the service continue depending on where the calls were made to and how much the bill was. Upper upper management was to busy literally to busy playing golf daily and not working the business. The Vestal NY site was the worst of all. One job I was glad to leave and advance within a better company.

I got the same computer generated call from (866)505-9316 (and was transfered to India) They refused to tell me what Nationwide Credit "does" (and why they kept calling me every.... single... day) until I gave them my phone number... which I refused to do.

Just yesterday Nationwide called up and started talking about someone else's debt with me. This was after I told them that I wasn't the person they wanted. No doubt they are frequently taken to court, it would be quite easy to catch them violating the fdcpa and state laws it would seem.

How can I get them to stop calling? They (the recording) has been calling every other day for three or four months now. I finally called the phone number 888-913-2337 the other day, but I would not give them my phone number - I just told them to stop calling me - but they are still calling me/my number any way.

The recording says it is a message from Janet Hall, that it is not a solicitation call, and that we should call 866.505.9316.

We are in St. Pete, Florida.

Sure guest, they helped you resolve your debt. So how long have you been working for nationwide?

And people do want to pay their bills, they just don't want to pay too much or pay for bills that may not be theirs. Hey I just realized, you owe me $500 guest, you need to send me the money immediately.

LOL guest, "be careful, take care and be confident". I take it English is not your native language, which is fine. Personally I could care less if you work for nationwide or not. Look up sarcasm okay. Actually I don't have credit card debts, sorry to disappoint you. I have a few credit cards but we don't use them. Me and my wife only use our American Express and pay it off each month.

You see I'm here to try and help others having problems and help them from the unscrupulous debt collectors. You see I was born in the daytime, but I wasn't born yesterday. You obviously work from one of these companies, possibly you are in India since you took offense to someones comment about India and your writing suggests English is not your native language. Nothing wrong with that but please don't come in here pretending to be otherwise. I don't take it personally that you are lying, I'm just calling you out on it.

I'm still waiting for my money you owe me. Now be careful in what you say next, my BS meter is tuned into you DOOOOOOD.

Look, everyone has their own point here, but some of these people are rotten, we all have owed someone at one time or another, my case was a company asking me to pay something that they wouldn't give me a breakdown of the bill, say they didn't have it. So of course I don't want to pay it until I have some sort of proof... Then the Nationwide people call me being rude and loud and not knowing the situation and basically talking to me like I'm a criminal. I would assume it's a hard job to do unless your an idiot already, but harrassing me is not getting me to pay anything quicker...

Do you really think that people who have gotten behind financially have done so out of a plan to escape payment. Even if they had, what gives any collector the right to be so obnoxious and unprofessional. They have a terrible record, which is publicly available, and can be confirmed. I want to hear why you think people with a debt should be abusively called and subjected to additional stress when they are probably stressed already. Nobody wants to be that guy, and I agree with the other posters. You obviously work for Nationwide OR within the industry and dont mind being a jerk because you are above reproach. Its funny how a percentage of people, big and tough on a chat site, shrivel eye-to-eye, they are kooks with no life who hide behind a monitor. If you are going to be the fly in the ointment, at least have the balls to identify your identity, otherwise, you are that guy. Dude.

I am dealing with this company now. When I was first contacted by them, I was told that the "locator" that he was contacting me on behalf of the ADR firm, and left a call back letter. When I called the number he left, it was answered by Nationwide. I told "Mr Stills" that I needed validation of the debt, but he informed me that he was with a pre-litigation firm, and he did not need to validate the debt. He ended the conversation by saying "good luck in court" He said he was refering to a PDLoan from PDL Ventures, but could/would not give me any contact information. He said he did not have that info. Please advise.

They have been calling my cell phone from various different phone numbers and you are never given the opportunity to speak to a representative. I finally got so frustrated I called the Georgia office and they answered as Nationwide/ American Express. They kept asking me for my social security number which I refused to provide. They said that was the only way they could look up my records. I told them I don't have an account so there is no need to have my social. They insisted on getting my social. The indian on the phone could barely speak english and understand it so I told him if they kept calling I would file a complaint with the propery authorities. He finally transfered me to another rep. and I told him the same and he finally asked what number had they been calling. I gave him my number as he assured me it would be placed on the no call lists. They already had my number so I didn't think I would be taking any risk. We'll see if they quit calling my cell phone number.
