Thank you Mike. I am unable to access this link.

Here is what I said:

Quote:

I do not have caller id at work, and that is where they called me. I do not actually owe this loan, and paid it off in three installments. I tried to call the original lender, but that number has been disconnected. I just got another call from Anthony Galloway and Associates. I told them that we were speaking on a recorded line, and that my attorney had advised me to make no payments to them. I stated that I had bank documentation showing the payments (which I do have), and I asked for an address where that could be sent. "Max" said, "Thank You." and hung up. Do you think they will continue to call?

No, I don't think they'll call you back. However, you still need to protect yourself, and lodge a complaint against them for trying to collect on a debt that has been paid. If these are the same people, Ellis Crosby & Associates would resell the account after it had been paid. Perhaps this is the same company, and they just packed up their files and relocated ASAP so they could continue bringing in their paycheck.

Check your credit report sometime in the near future.

Thank you so much for the information. How would I file a complaint? I did check my credit last week, and did not see anything, but I will continue to monitor it.

Katey-

You can go to FTC.gov and go to the top of the page where it says file a complaint, along with bbb.org which is the Better Business Bureau.

Try to remember everything when placing the complaint.

Hi Katey

You can also file your complaint at the local attorney general office in your state.

Keep posting if you have further queries.

Thanks

this company says I owe them money in which I had until 1:00 p.m. November 18th to pay it and I have no clue what they are talking about

Jessica,

If the company calling you is Anthony Galloway & Associates, do keep two things in mind. You don't have to pay them any money because this company is working in the disguise of Ellis Crosby and Associates. Ted Crosby earlier used this name while doing business. Place a search in the name of this company and you will get more information in this forum.

Secondly, do not get intimidated or scared while you talk to them. Tell them that you are recording the phone calls and you will take legal help in this matter. Earlier, Ellis Crosby was using the same tactics in their collections. Numerous complaints have been filed in the FTC, BBB and the state attorney general office and as a result, the company has filed for bankruptcy after undergoing legal actions. It is after this incidence, the company has started using this new name. So, you need to file complaints against them at the bureaus.

Crooks and liars. Even if I owed money to them, I wouldnt pay one cent to them.

You don't need to pay those scammers who want to steal your money. The federal laws will protect you from such shady companies. Be sure to exercise your legal rights when you find someone contacting you without legitimate reasons.
