Pentagroup Financial.....anyone know anything about them!??

Pentagroup Financial is a collection agency and I have heard the worst feedback about them. They have rude behavior towards everyone over the phone calls. First and foremost, get the debt validated from them in writing. Do not agree to pay anything while you have reviewed the account thoroughly.

Send the letter through certified mail with return receipt requested for proof. Do you know the name of the credit company they are attempting collections. Get in touch with them directly and make payment arrangements.

thank you for your feedback, I am going to send them out a letter this week. I would rather deal with them like that first before getting yelled at over the phone.

Pentagroup wants me to give them a payment so i did but they never did send me a new balance the guy claimed he sent it i dont believe him now i want to change my account information so they dont steal any money from me im young and scared

I received a harassing phone call from the Pentagroup demanding $695.00 for an old debt from J. C. Penney accounting going back to 2000. Every night in a row they kept calling. Strangely enough, I started getting phonecalls from another collection agency called The Northland Group requesting the same delinquent balance from J. C. Penney. I looked them up, and it turns out these are two different collection agencies located in different states. I was told by the lady from the Northland Group that I should not contact J. C. Penney to obtain an itemized list of what supposedly was included in my outstanding balance. In addition, she also mentioned that if I settled my account immediately, she was only going to charge $250.00.

from 2000?what state are you in?yes contact JCPENNY.they will tell you that because chances are it is past the SOL,and getting that info from JCPENNY will confirm it.tell them that you request something in writing from them.if they don't comply.send them a C&D letter.send it certified mail return receipt.if you can remeber the date of last payment that would go a long way to establishing whether the SOL is past.

These people are scam artists and do not comply with the FTC. Report them to your attorney generals office or the Federal Trade commision. Contact the origional creditor directly to settle the debt. Its illegal to tell you otherwise.

These are definitly rude people. They had my husband down for an unpaid debt. When I questioned Barbara Killey she was rude and only said I was trying to get out of this...also that my husband didnt tell me about this debt but I would find out when she sent the sheriff to the house with papers. I contacted the people with whom the debt was originally through giving them my husband's S.S. #. It was not him. It is another person in our area with the same name. Called Barbara back and she realized her mistake but would not apologize and it only ended up in another screaming match. Very unprofessional and companies should not hire these people.

They are the worst people to try and deal with.. You are on the phone trying to work out something with them.They start with this huge amount at first, then 1/2 off and then how about another 500. off.. Try to set up a payment and he slams the phone down? What are my rights?

i got a call from them this morning , they wanted to speak with my brother, who was not here and wanted me to give them his cell # which i would not do , and got rude and hung up on me, when i started asking who this was , i can;t wait for them to call back.
