Actually, it is believed that Ted Crosby is operating under the name of "Interstate Collections". But there is also a "Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau".

Both of which are not giving out their address, and both of which are threatening consumers with arrest.

Roxette has posted an address that was located in Wyoming, however anything is possible with mail forwarding now. So it could very well be Ted Crosby.

I will search for the address for "Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau". But if it is just "Interstate Collections", that address I do not have.

Mike

Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau is using the following address:

Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau
2710 Tomes Ave Ste 128,
Cheyenne, WY 82001

If this new company, "Interstate collections" is popping up, I guess, we will have to do some research.

Roxette

When "Interstate Collections" first came about on this forum, I called the number just to see what it was about. The lady who answered for Ellis Crosby & Associates picked up..."How may I direct your call". I hung up, because I knew right away that she was the same lady. I can never forget that nasal sound. It could be that she went to another company. It has been reported that some of the employees that worked for Taylor James & Associates went to Crosby's company. But it just too ironic, that they close down, and then fall from the face of the earth!

I was contacted today by a investigator for this company, threatening to have me arrested unless I make a wire transfer to them today, by 4 o'clock. I was about to leave work and do so until I came upon your forum. I am now wondering which way to handel this. The lender he said I owe has no contact information and that this account was from 2004. They threaten to charge me with Federal Bank Fraud and to send officers out to arrest me here at my job. I am not sending the money and I am looking into this debt, but am worried about IWCB contacting me and what can they do.

cjinc002

Welcome to the forums! It's good that you stopped and took the time to check this company out. First off, you have nothing to worry about. You cannot get arrested for bouncing a check payment. I do encourage you, however, to see about getting this taken care of. The next time they call, mention to them becuase of previous threats made towards you, all calls are now being recorded for your records. Ask for the name of the individual and mention that you need validation mailed to you. If they mention that they have mailed something to you, ask for it to be sent certified mail next time, that way they know that you got it.

I would also suggest filing a report with your local AG office, and with the BBB. Those kind of threats are not allowed in the collection business, and they need to be shut down.

I would also try to think back of what loan you could have possibly had, and call that company to find out who should be handling the account. Mention to them that you are receiving threats at work, and that you have no intention of hiding, but getting threatened with lock up isn't necessary.

Regards-
Mike

Mike: Thank you for your advise. It has eased my nerves alot. Also, Thank you for this site. I have noted all the advise recieved, filed a complaint with BBB and I am in the process of trying to contact the Apollo Group about this dept. If they bother me any further, I think I can deal with it now. If I learn anything further that would be of use to anyone else, I will post it. It's like you said, " If we don't help ourselves, including each other, who will?"

Thanks again.

there was a shotting outside of eca today. ted was taken in for questioning, but was released because he was justified for firing a firearm in public in defense of one of his employees getting robbed

I just received a threatened phone call regarding getting papers served on a premier cash advance loan. I have had 3 surgeries in the last year and I honestly forgot about this. I haven't received anything in the mail regarding this. I was told that my statue of limitation runs out today and papers will be processed. I told them I could moneygram this to them on Monday, I ask for premier phone number so I could call them and explain and get them the money on Monday, They do not have it and said monday was too late, so I am at work crying and scared to death. Can you please give me some information regarding this. Please email me at

Don't get scammed by Interstate wire Compliance Bureau. They are cheating people in large numbers. They don't have any of your account details for which they are contacting you. If they have, they need to prove the account details in writing. Write a letter to the company asking for debt validation of this account. They must send you its details in writing before attempting further collections.

Monica, if your debt is going out of the SOL period today, a simple payment agreement or even a payment towards this account will bring the account back to the legal SOL frame. Check the date of last activity in this account and get confirmed about its expiry.

If it would have been any other collection agency, I would have suggested with something better so that your credit improves. But as its ICWS, I don't have anything else to say but alarm you before hand. They are cheating people and not following the federal laws. Know your consumer rights on how to deal with the collection agencies. It is elaborately mentioned in the FTC website.

Be assured, ICWS can't take any legal actions against you because they have already violated many federal laws. If they are holding your accounts legally, then you should also talk in the legal language with them and pay off the account. Hire an attorney if you are not able to take care of the situation.

They contacted me and said I am in violation of bank laws and collateral check fraud. I do owe money to Apollo. I have not received anything in the mail. I would like to clear up my account. How do I find out if they have my past due account legally?

Simone,

Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau is a collection agency. They are required by federal laws to give you the details of the debt in writing within 5 days of placing the initial communication to you.

If you have not received any mail, write a letter to them requesting for debt validation.

The company must give you the details within 30 days after receiving your letter. If they fail to validate it, they don't have the legitimate details and therefore, must not contact you. Send your letter certified with return receipt requested. This will help you to track the dates when the CA received your letter.

Also, you can contact your OC and try to get some information on your debt account. They might have hired a CA to collect the debt from you. If you call them and show your concern to pay it, they will accept payments from you. Dealing with OC is quite an easier job than dealing with CA.

I am so happy that I found this website. I was just called by these people claiming the police was going to arrest me and that I was going to have to appear in front of "The man with the black robe." (judge)The charge was internet bank fraud. I must admit...it did scare me, but when I read this site I was so relieved. I know that I owe this, but some things went on with my account and I had to close it. I was just waiting on them to send me a letter so I could pay them. His name was Alex D. Vine and his so called "intern" (William Jones). He said I owed $520 and he would set up a payment plan. He put me on hold and came back and said the company would not take less than $250 and he had to have it by 5pm eastern stand. I told him I did not have it and I would get my lawyer to contact him to see if other arrangements could be made. I got his full name. I tried calling my lawyer but I could not get in contact with him, and this is when I went on the internet to research this company. I tried calling back but it seems the number is constantly rolling back to the previous ext. of the recording saying "front desk". I think I scared him. I will wait and call their bluff. In the meantime I will contant the payday loan company to see whats going on. Thanks guys. It's good to know the internet can be used for good sometimes rather than just the bad.

rugratdrpepper,

Forum members have posted negative feedbacks on Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau. They are trying to collect money using scaring techniques. If creditor files suit against the debtor, it goes to civil court, so no one will come to arrest you at your door.

It will be better if you can contact your lender and make some payment plan directly with them. Keep us posted.

Interstate Compliance that claims they are with the State of Wyoming Compliance Dept Don Freedman phone #866-201-4603 has called me at my job asking for the name of my atty and threating to have me arrested. Everytime this man calls me I make sure I file a complaint with the fdcpa for this man and company broke several laws
If he calls and threatens you call the FDCPA at 877-382-4357

tiffy,

You need to contact the Wyoming State Compliance Department and let them know what is going on and find out if they are licensed. Which we all know the answer to that.

Tiffy,

Forum members have posted negative feedback on them. They have broken laws several times in past also. Let me tell you, if a debtor runs away from responsibility and creditor sues the person, the case will go to civil court, so no one can come to arrest you, right? These are scaring tactics collectors use to extract money, nothing else.

However, can you locate which of your accounts they are handling? Contact the original creditor and get it settled with them directly. Also do what Tammy has suggested, this is important. Keep us posted.

I had taken a couple of payday loans out over the internet to get my car fixed. For the next several months they took huge fees out of my bank account. I soon got into serious finacial trouble and had to close my bank account because i could not keep up on rent, etc. Now I am getting harrassing calls from Interstate wire compliance bureau saying I am going to be arrested for internet fraud. I would be willing to make small payments but they want one large sum. What do I do?

LocaLisa113, be careful of Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau. They are not a legitimate company and have many complaints against them. Check out the various threads in this forum as it is loaded with others' complaints.

Under the federal laws, you have the legal rights to ask this CA to validate the debt. Samples of validation letter are available in this forum. Send this letter through certified mail with return receipt requested. Keep everything documented in a file for records.

After receiving your validation letter, they will be forced to itemize the details of the debt received from the OC. You will then understand that the company is making a legitimate collection. If they fail, you will protect yourself from getting ripped off.

I am glad I read more into this site. I have gotten calls from this number and have been hesitant to call because I don't want to get caught up in the same hum-drum crap. I do admit I do owe the loan company but do not know which company they are referring to. I had a similar situation last year back in April and May where this guy from Florida claiming to be from some legal service or law firm threatened to have me arrested if I didn't pay them...he told me the fee was $749 so I managed to get them $250. When I called to confirm they received the payment, the balance had gone up $90. I managed to pay the rest in two more payments getting advances on my paycheck and borrowing from a friend...when I later learned that I should have tried to deal with the loan company directly.

Are these people legitimate? Should I attempt to call them?

Hi BlaqueRose

Welcome to the forums.

You can always call the company and inquire about the accounts for which they are asking money. Remember, if they have your details, the company must give it to you in writing first. It's your hard earned money and you should assure that it goes into the right hands. The number that you have mentioned belongs to a collection agency and they have been famous for their illegal actions. Make sure that you are prepared before calling them. It will also be good if you can use a pay phone rather than using your home phone. Otherwise, your number will get into their system and they can misuse it.

Do not agree to pay anything until you have the complete details of your accounts. Send a debt validation letter if the company fails to give you the info. This way, you will cover your legal basis.

Roxette

After finding and reading various information on payday loans, some of my doubts were clarified with the fact that it is true that payday loan companies can only bring you to civil court and not criminal -- however, I do know if bad check writing is a person's habit, then they can be brought to trial or something like that. However, I am a single parent trying to make ends meet. I am already have my paycheck garnished from one payday loan, which I know about and have been in touch with so I am ok with that. However, things have happened in the last two years which nearly cost me my house and utilities, and then my water heater busted, so money was more than tight, it was nearly invisible and with caring for my daughter, I had to do what was necessary, and since I couldn't get these loan companies to understand my financial situation, one thing lead to another...and here I am, barely keeping my head above water. I will call them from a pay phone, and ask them to send all the necessary documentations of the accounts in question before agreeing to any payment. Again thanks for your advice.

Do you have an address for them in case they refuse in some way to give me one... they really need to stop calling my work...

The company, located in Culver City, CA did file a suite. I had mailed them one payment, but couldn't finish the rest because of other matters beyond my control so early February word came down from them, I even have copies of the court papers files, that so much money had to be taken out of my check. The payroll director talked to them on my behalf and explained that in no way could I afford to give them what they wanted at one time, and got them to agree to a $70 payment until July. It was directly with the company and not no collection agency.

OK...I spoke to a Russell Crenshaw there at the Interstate Wireless...or whatever they are called, and he says that the file was scheduled to be downloaded at 2:00 to my state...now, I have to really search for those records as I am not sure if I kep them and Money Gram says it takes 10 business days and $20 for them to research and retrieve the information. Because I know I paid them between March, April and May with the last payment on June 22, 2005 for about $324 or $374...I asked him (Russell) to send me something in the mail, and he says that he can't because the file is scheduled to come to my state, and the charges he says are identical to what the guy in Jacksonville, Florida said...for Bahamas Marketing Group (BMG). What I need to do is try to find that guy's name back in Florida and see what he can tell me. And then he tries to tell me that perhaps I forgot or made a mistake, when I'm telling him that I paid them. Can somebody help me...his number is 866 201-4603, Ext. 208. I need more time to prove myself...my e-mail is...(tears)

Email deleted as per forum rules-Mike

all my payments regarding BMG were made via Money Gram

I spoke to Leslie at fdcpa and she gave me some information regarding sending them a dispute letter...thank you guys for that bit of information. In the meantime, I will continue to seek my records. She also told me that Jacoby & Meyers own them, does anyone have any information on that, and has anyone done business with BMG and made payments via a law firm in Jacksonville on their behalf? Kindly let me know.

Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau aka Jacobi & Mayors
2710 Thomes Ave STE 128
Cheyenne, WY 82001-3029
Telephone: (800) 664-0596

Got the info from BBB search.

Oh, thanks so much for that bit of information. That really helps alot. I believe Jacobi & Mayors is in Jacksonville, Florida, the same company I made payments to via Money Gram. I will be going to the post office tomorrow to send my letter via certified and next day delivery to get them to provide additional information on said account. Again, thanks for the information.

anyone happen to have a Money Gram code for Jacobi & Mayors? Just thought I'd ask out of curiosity?

Well, although I was not able to locate the Money Gram receipts, I was able to locate my notes dated April 19, 2005, stating I made the first payment to Ellis Crosby & Associates on April 22, 2005 via Money Gram. I spoke to BMG and was told to deal with them directly, and anything I sent them, they would inform the financial institution in question that they received documentation proving payment on that account in full. They said to deal with them directly, and to not even speak to anyone further from Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau. She said she was going to contact the owner and let them know that I contacted BMG and that I will be sending them fax information stating I paid them. BMG indicated that I could take as much time as I needed to get them the information. So that's a huge load off of my mind.

The same group of collection people is again here with new names. You should be aware enough. So did you pay the loan in full in past or balance is still due?

I recently applied for an apartment and they told me i needed a deposit because i am in collections with allied i called the number 1-888-446-7069 and they told me it was from like 5 years agao a bus violation or something. I never had recieved anything in the mail about this and at that time i was maybe like 16 or 17. I dont have any idea what they are talking about and i didnt know it was legal to send a minor to collections? I did call trans union and dispute it but i don't know what i should do.

Jeramiah, dispute the item with the credit bureau. Also, allied interstate must have sent you the details of the account after hitting your file. If they have done a legitimate reporting, you must receive it in writing. Send a debt validation letter asking for the debt account. I don't think they will be able to give you any accurate information about this account. Even if they give, check the SOL period of your state. Dispute the item with the bureau if it is incorrectly reported in your file.

Check out the summary page of Allied Interstate7

Is this the same company? They contacted me late on Friday and claimed I owed money for ordering "National Enquirer!" What a laugh. The woman would NOT promise to mail a bill, claiming that three had been sent and that I deserved no further paperwork. I felt very funny about this. She did give me an order number, but no date for the order - except that it was "last year." Do they pull any scams about supposed Publishers' Clearinghouse orders? Thanks!

Lfn, collection agencies try to scam people and make false money. Do not get intimidated by allied interstate. You have the legal rights to ask for a debt validation from them. If the debt appears legitimate, make your payment arrangements. Keep everything documented for proof.

What do you call someone who walks out of a store with merchandise and doesnt pay for it. A thief. You people have all this merchandise for free because you are all dead beats trying to get out of your obligations. Pay your bills and you wont have us calling you. If you answer the phone and id yourself as the wrong party your number will be removed. Stop cryin people and pay your debts. We wouldnt have a job if it wasnt for non paying people like you. Stop trying to weasel your way out of thievery.

Bill collector

Nobody is trying to weasel their way out of anything, pal! In case you didn't pay attention, this website is about money management and debt consolidation which have nothing to do with thievery and being a deadbeat. This particular forum however, is about consumer's rights when it comes to collectors like you who can't even spell fdcpa and don't have the decency to approach every account with an open mind. Didn't ever cross your mind that the reason some people go into debt is because they lose jobs, get sick or injured, or experience any other financial crisis. You have no right to judge anyone here, you do not know anyone here. Go back to your crappy mimimum wage script reading job and stay out of this forum.

Jedi Mistress Ari--You rock!

Thank you my friend! I am the guardian of peace and justice on this website!

323-372-6321 is the phone number that showed up when they called my mom's number looking for someone. My mom, an elderly disabled woman - has had her phone number for over 2 years- keeps getting calls from these RUDE people like they don't believe that she is not the person they are looking for...Can't they do reverse lookup likr the rest of us??!!

I had an old Sprint PCS debt of which I had made several payments on, earlier this year of 2007 i was sent a letter from their office in MO stating I could satisfy debt completely if i paid *(&&^ amount, which was 50% of the balance.. in fact I did pay it. I have a cancelled check which coincides with the date of their letter and exact amt THEY told me to pay to SATISFY the debt. I then spoke to 2 seperate phone reps and sent 2 letters, asking for proof in writing that debt is satisfied, (god knows they harrassed me day/nite via mail and or phone...) both reps apologized and CONFIRMED debt paid in full.. still no letter received thru mail.. TODAY 4-25-07 i called to ask why i havent received my letter and a phone rep in AZ named "Jose" claims debt is still open. He was rude, and gave me an address to complain to stating: "Don't put my name on it, I'm not in that office that the letter will go to..." ??????? I have proof of their wrong doing... where do i go from here.. i will fight till the end even if i must go thru the credit bureaus!
