So it all starts today. Today I faxed and sent over a hard copy of my "Effective Immediately I hereby revoke any and all wage assignments I may or may not have signed" to both finance and human resources. Finance calls me this afternoon and says "I don't know what this is" LOL So I explained briefly . This company might try to send you something etc. She said she will keep an eye out and notify me if she sees anything, but she handles all the garnishments and has never heard of a wage assignment. With 700 employees, I think that is a good sign!!

I am currently dealing with NCO Group for my husbands citibank account. I'm not quite sure what to do, they say that I can only speak with 1 person and I think that he is spitting out lie after lie. He has been calling my mother and harassing her (my husband and I live with my parents but we have a separate phone number) even after I gave them my cell and my husbands to call, they call my mother sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.

We are constantly trying to identify PDLs. Here is an article of about their tangled web!

I think it's open, they happily accept whatever payment I send to them. It also seems to be forwarded to NCO. I'm receiving multiple phone calls from them on my cell and dorm phone 3+ times a day AND at ungodly hours. I didn't know it was possible to have an open account forwarded to a collection agency. Anywho, I'm a college kid that got hold of a Capital One card and made a few bad choices. I pay my bills on time every month, pay my Chase card down to $0 every month. As you can see, I have a job on campus and am financially responsible.

Wanted to share a little story with you. I went into a local rent a center the other day because I spotted a friend I hadn't seen for years browsing around in there. After greeting her and chatting a bit I noticed there was a Payday loan company in the corner amidst the merchandise, so I wandered over there out of curiousity. She (the manager) said hello and asked if there was something she could help me with (The Vultures anyhow! :evil: ), I politely told her no. Then I asked the million dollar question (not what your thinking I bet).

Is the debt settlement company ( New Beginnings)a scam?

Does anyone know of a company called Financial Blessings? I have applied for a personal loan and they e-mailed me an approval letter. The letter requested that I respond asking for the contract documents to be either e-mailed or faxed to me. I have called the number provided by it continues to be busy. I also replied to the e-mail twice with no response. I want to know if this company is legitimate. Thanks for any help!

Can a collection agency garnish your income taxes?

Hi. I recently enrolled in a debt management Plan with Money Management International. One account, AMEX - Gold is not eligible for the plan and is currently in 3rd Party Collection with allied interstate for 21k. AMEX will not even talk to me about the account. I am terrified of dealing with Allied after reading all the negative feedback regarding them, and the way I was treated on the phone by them yesterday. Should I insist on attempting to get a payment plan through AMEX or try and work something out with Allied.

Love, Beal, & Nixon sent me a letter stating that if I was getting a tax return to contact them. I spoke with Judy Greer from their office and she said that I was served papers on May 24, 2006. I sent them a letter disputing the debt on June 6, 2006 and never received anything validating it. Then all of a sudden I receive this letter stating that judgement had been made on this account from Worldwide Asset Purchasing and that I owed in excess of 8,000. Now they are talking income tax garnishment. Can they do that?
