So I am guessing that they aren't a very reputable company! Goodness, why do they target me!!?? Has anyone out there dealt with them or can you tell me anything about them?

I have never dealt with them. I will see what else I can find about them.

Thank would be fabulous, I will be checking out the forum in the morning. Thank you so much!

This phone number 888-579-8904 belongs to Capital Collections. The people there have a very heavy accent.

Based on the customer experiences, the BBB has given an unsatisfactory report for the company. Be alert while you are dealing with them.

Tammy, you hit this thread before me.. :) Great..

Thank you so much, I have yet to call them back, but I am setting up my account with T&C this week, so I better get all the information to include on that, if in fact, this is legit. And by the way, T&C is wonderful, the fees are great and the people are so nice!!

My credit counselor was able to set up a payment arrangement with Capital Collections...I refuse to deal with them directly. They are aggressive, but seem to follow fdcpa. Good luck and blessings, Melissa

That's good to hear. They weren't very pleasant on my voicemail either. You wouldn't happen to have a contact number for them?

Angel, the POC that contacted me from Capital Collections was Michael Petterson, phone: 888-579-8904, fax: 866-947-2565. Good luck, Melissa PS/do you have any info on T&C that you can pm to me, like their fees and contact phone #?? Thanks!

Tippy~
I guess if I was smart, I could've just looked at my blog and seen the phone number, I had thrown it away! But thank you anyhow.

The phone number (888) 579-8904 belongs to Capital Collections, LLC. They are a Debt Collection agency. I recieved an "Employment Verification Form" by fax seeking personal information of a former employee for a "legal trial". The fax represented them as "Law Offices of Capital Coproation, LLC", and a Rick Evans stated that he is an attorney and would issue a warrant for the debtor he was trying to get information on - an attorney cannot issue a warrant. Per the MS State Bar, Mr. Evans is not a licensed attorney, and I found no evidence that any such law office exists when I contacted the MS State Bar. I believe they are engaging in unfair or illegal debt collection practices and today I reported them to the FBI.

Be sure to file complaints with your state Attorney General's office, the Federal Trade Commission, and you could file a civil complaint and file suit against them.
Also, it is unlawful to claim you are an attorney if in fact you are not.

I have received many harrassing emails from this particular person at Capital Collections. They have threatened me with a warrant for my arrest and having me thrown in jail. They call my house daily, and when I have responded to their emails with a cease and desist letter, they say that I should "stop being a smarty and using the fdcpa as a cover" and that "they contact me any way they see fit." I have filed complaints against them with the FTC, the WI Dept. of Financial Institutions and the Better Business Bureau. I would have also filed with the State Attorney General; however, the do not take complaints of this nature and refer you back to the WI Dept. of Financial Institutions. This is an evil company and will try to use intimidation to make you pay....do not let that happen. Educate yourself on the FDCPA and stay firm with them. If enough of us file complaints against them, hopefully they will lose their license as a collection agency.

I would like to see a little anarchy injected into this. Imagine how their attitudes would change if people started calling THEM at home, showed up at their homes or offices? Would scare the crap out of them. Someone will eventually blow up a collections office or two and I'll be that'll change things. Why should we have to deal with collectors. Never met them or agreed to anything with them. I just don't accept their involvement.

this is capitol collections. I took out a payday loan and couldn't make good on payments. Bank account was so overdrawn and everything started bouncing. this company has faxed a nasty letter to the human resources dept. of my job saying i am a "cheap scammer who defrauds companies with funny checks". I have never been so embarressed in my life and I just hope I don't lose my job. They are bottom feeders and very unprofessional. Many words are misspelled and they sent me an email that could have been worded and spelled better by a 1st grader. I am turning over the fax to the District Attorney. They can't treat people like that. There are laws to protect us from such disgusting practices.

:twisted:They are a bunch of lowlife dirtbags!

Use entertainer names to think they are American. I asked one guy who called what country he was calling from and he said South Carollenee.

Morons!

Don't tell them anything and ask them to send it all to you in writing, because you have no idea what they are talking about..
