Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau did not respond

Hi luv,

Your approach was perfect, I must say. Always ask for debt validation. Asking for validation does not mean that you are denying your responsibility. You are just confirming the debt and checking if all the information is correct.

Collectors should provide you with validation. It is considered to be the first step of debt collection. If some collection agency denies validating the debt or refuses to send written documents, it is violation of fdcpa.

You should ask them for their mailing address to send the DV letter. See how they respond. Also check what others are saying about IWCB-

Also try to settle the account with the original creditor. IWCB is tough to deal with.

[quote=Ms. West]I received a phone call phone a company called Interstate Wire Bureau - wanting my attorney's information so they could proceed with court date regarding a non-payment of a payday loan with Platnium B Services. After contacting Platnium B Services I am told the company is a scam. I did a google search and found the RipOff report. These people are threatening to come to my house and arrest me (which I didn't know was possible without a warrant, etc.) How can I handle this? They won't send me any documentation (could it be that it would then be a Federal Offense in using the USPS?) or any proof that I owe the debt (especially since Plat B says it's a cleared account).[/quote]

I received several calls at work from the same company, with the same lines they gave you. The debt they are claiming I owe are already paid. I contacted the people I had the debt with and they told me that they are a fradulent company not to pay any attention to them. They actually told me next time they call you tell the to kiss your ---!

Guest,

You are lucky that your creditors helped you on this matter. Good to see that your money is saved :D This is the reason people do not like collection agencies. They do not come clear with their identity and also reluctant to give any written document. Then how can customers understand if they are working with a legit agency or not?

Do let us know if you find any more information on them.

I am dealing with the same company they threatened to come to my place of employment and take me they had to call security I am working with another company to get this item taken care of and she is the one that told me it is a scam, and also they are involved in a class action law suit.

Don Baylie,

Thanks for the update. Also keep us posted in this matter.
