Nationwide recovery systems (NRS) – a collection agency

Unfortunately, this is the hard truth. It's very sad to see the hard earned money of the working people going into the pockets of these jerks and enjoying luxuries. Just see how much they pay on their taxes. I hope that these people are caught by the IRS and heavily penalized.

I am not very happy with These idiots. They call me at work at least once a week. I called Nationwide Recovery System at 800-387-5658 ext 3611 Michelle Richards who was very rude and would not tell me what this was regarding without giving her my SS# thats not going to happen. :twisted:

Hi Sidh

Why do they need your social security number? DO NOT DO NOT disclose any personal information about yourself and your finances. In my opinion you should maintain a record of all the conversations you have with them, including the name of the caller, the date and time, the name of the company and what is said. You can send them a C&D letter via certified mail with a return receipt request. If you keep receiving harassing calls from them even after they receive the C&D letter then contact an attorney.

NRS isn't even close to a $600M company. In fact, the company is falling apart! Jerry Curtis hasn't been the CEO since 2004, by the way. They are bleeding money and they are run by a bunch of redneck morons. All you need to do is threaten to file a complaint with Cingular Wireless directly about their tactics and they will close your account and fold like a tent. This company is a serious joke....

thought i would toss this gem in if anyone ran across this. THEY WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING. they refused to send a paper bill or send proof of debt and claimed the only method to resolve was to pay by check on the phone. Do not cave with these people deal directly with the company that sent you there and report anything you think is "funny" they should be shutdown for the amount of lies and manipulation they use. all I can say is don't expect them to reason with you unless your willing to be robbed.

These people will call you dozen a times in a day and will tire you with their nonsense. Big jerks!

i was told to falsify documents, lie to clients and debtors alike and then evne witnessed embezzlement by the director, Rob Stahl. For your convenience, please feel free to call him on his cell phone: 214-274-4440.
If you do not get satisfaction there, call Dennis Dlabaj. his extention is 2300 @ 972-798-1000.

I think that if you owe money to someone else you should pay. NRS agrees with companies to try and settle theor debtand they charge a hefty fee if they collect. there is nothing wrong with that, because lets face it, if you owe money to these companies are you really going to pay and be a man of your word? if it wasn't for coll;ection companies, creditorswould be out alot more money. I woulod rather get 20% of something than 100% of nothing. I will say that NRS has some of the most stupid sales people and they are very rude and do not know how to sell properly. Also, I think that the company will soon fold or downsize dramatically because of poor leadership. In my opinion, a great collections company would truely help debtors with payout system and not try to harass them. If you are nice and friendly, you will get more in return, afterall, its about working soemthing out.

Amen business man, amen :!:

We received a call from the 800-387-5658 x 2596 Mrs. Brooks for a person we have never even heard of. Threating messages but a total flake... the phone # only says Adminstrator not even a company name when you call.

DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!!!

2304 Tarpley Dr. Carrollton, TX 75227 It took me 4 phone calls to get these jackass's to finally give me their address...and WHO they are. They are rude and nasty. After I setteled with the main company AT&T and made payment arrangements to pay off the bill biweekly this collection told me that it would still be on my credit report and will not come off for seven years!! Never had anything on my report from a cell phone company!! These people are dispicable humans that don't now what what it means to be professional!! Oh wait...my phone is ringing again! It was them again...they told me I have to pay through them! I stated that I spoke with AT&T and am dealing with them, then they tried to get out of me how much i paid!! OMG!!! Are you freaking kidding me...is this company that despret!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!

I received an email from NRS concerning an illegal PDL that I had overpaid. I stopped paying the PDL...closed my account and requested a letter of PIF with a refund. They didn't like it and turned the account over to NRS. When I got the email from NRS, I emailed in repsonse - asked for a DV and their license number for Alabama. I also sent a certified letter - which I never got a receipt for. That was 3 months ago almost. I've emailed and requested the information several time - at least once a week. I get no response. I'm thinking I'll email the PDL that sent them to me and demand my PIF AND my refund again. Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like a lot of crying by a bunch of debtors and some ex-employees. NRS is a great company to work for and works hard for there clients. If you do not like them calling you then pay your bill.

I am glad that NRS is a great company for you to work for. However, maybe you should get to know some of the people that have complaints about NRS.
I DID in fact pay my bills - in fact I OVERPAID. I stopped the ACH's on my PDL because they kept taking money out of my checking account after the loan had been paid back. When I stopped, they turned it over to NRS. I requested Debt Validation - I got nothing. I sent a certified letter - it was never signed for. I sent several emails stating that I was anxious to get the matter cleared up - I received no reply. I haven't heard anything from them since January. Guest - I AM a person who pays my bills....unfortunately the people you pay your bills to aren't always professional.
Now...if you can tell me why NRS hasn't answered ANY of my coorespondence - that would be helpful to me.
Since you work for them.....and they are such a great company, please be of some help.

Realman,
They can work as hard as they want to for their clients. But they need to remain under the LAW. These events that so many people are complaining about are ILLEGAL by Federal law. By trampling upon the freedom and protections that we are granted by LAW, you trample upon your own freedom. Some day Justice will come a'callin'.

Hi Ladielucille,

File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and your State's Attorney General's Office.

These payday loan places are little better than loan sharks.

wander if the CEO of this company knows how rude and unprofessional their customer service reps are?. I called because I was receiving a notice for a 937.05 plus AT & T bill on my daughter. I tried to get some information from them regarding this debt because I knew it was an error and was working on getting the error corrected. I spoke with a Jason Johnson and a Ms. Hardeman who by the way hung up on me. When Ms. Hardeman answered the phone these were her exact words ???How can I help you??? no thank you for calling, no my name is Ms. Hardeman, No National Recovery System how can I help you, no NRS. She was so rude, I asked who to whom am I speaking with she became very unprofessional at this point. I then asked for a supervisor and she became got irate told me she would help me but would not let me speak with a supervisor. I informed her that I needed a supervisor and she told me she would not get a supervisor and that she was going to hang up on me and sure enough she did just that. At this point I am thinking this is the most unprofessional company I have every dealt with.
The sad part is I had to look up AT & T call them, explain to them that my daughter is 18 and has an active account that she just got 4 months ago. How could an 18 year old have a 937.05 bill and an active AT & T account? AT & T did their investigation discovered it was an error on their part, they accidently set up two accounts in her name. This is what I do not understand is why we did not receive any bills concerning this second account before now. Nonetheless, AT & T was very professional and fixed the problem right away. I understand that errors do happen, but what upsets me is this company that AT & T uses to collect their debts is so unprofessional and rude and not willing to help in resolving this problem. I understand that when you are dealing with debt that sometimes it resolve some aggressive action to collect, but I think NRS should have heard the situation and at the least directed me back to AT& T who had reported the debt to them in the first place.
I hope that Jason Johnson and Ms. Hardeman both be placed in the unemployment line and maybe they will appreciate the job they have. While they are waiting for someone to call them for a new job they will take some classes on professionalism and good customer service. Also, I hope they learn to treat all customers with the utmost respect regardless of the situation. AT & T needs to find a new company to collect on their debts.

VICTIM OF AN ERRONEOUS DEBT!!!!

I just had my AT&T collection switched over top NRS recently due to the fact that I was making payment of whn I ould inregards to a account that I closed. AT&T originally charged 485 to settle with the first collection company which I was dealing with which was NCO financial. I needed to valid this claim and have a payment to submit but this datuday. Unfortunately I could not I told Carl Wilson that. I just calld to cancel this payment and he goes can you call me in the morning and we will take care of this. I have been trying to set this up to pay in full at first but got a run around. Anway paying it in full next weekthey said it will not reflect negatively on my credit report if I ay 216.37, i am okay with that why try and rush payment when I stated when I could pay it. Anyway I dealt wih a farly decent person hope it al goes through well. I just did not appreciate the call me in themorning bit best of luck to others.

do not, do not call call my number again.

The folks at NRS are rude, demanding and they lie. I settled debt that I didnt think I owed and they came back a month later and said that I owed the rest and that they didnt settle the debt. They manuplate and raise thier voice, threaten etc... all against the law. One of their reps hung up on me when I wanted his name and phone number and when I called back they said yelling is subjective??? what?? reallllllyyyy???

am having the same problem with my mother and law and I agree with everything you are saying in this message! this people from NRS are the worst!

whatever anonymous? who are you dennis? this co is a bad place.. if everything was exposed.... the amount of lying and cheating is really bad and im just talking about the employee side. so everyone else im sure is the same, but they prob real do feel validated since they are dealing with people who dont think there gonna get paid anyways it makes sense if you want to take advantage of everyone else they take advantage of new hires treat them like crap and it really just feels like a sweat shop on the phone fishing for execs that have people that owe them money u stiff arm those guys into giving u accts and then cheat everyone else after they get paid they lie the desperate..... these guys im sure they have to have problems sleeping because they are pricks retention is soo bad because they cheat all new hires as much as they can. but it is licensed stealing, they prey on pain and weakness, yup

Just got off the phone with one of the creeps that work for NRS - the debt was not even in my name - they will not stop calling my house. I told her that this is not the person you are calling - they wanted my social security number - which I would not give them. Who ever you are that you posted that they are a great company to work for, do they teach you that speaking to someone in curse words gets you what you want - and screaming obscenities is the way to deal with the public. It is actually against the law. I pay my bills - and when I can't I make a phone call and things are worked out. I have never gotten a piece of correspondence from this company they won't tell me what the bill is for just want my social - yeah right. Any one that falls for this is as dump as this company.

Don't have any outstanding debts but I agree that debt collection can be a touchy issue but if the majority of people who go to these companies have already had an opportunity to make arrangements. They have chosen not to do so. I think the people who don't pay there bills are jerks. Would rather have cell phones and other things they can't afford. What about accepting some personal responsibility. Want to talk about rights when you a parracite to society. Always want something for nothing. Shame on you guys. Get a job two or three and pay what you owe.

The next day after I said I would pay the bill to AT&T, I have received calls from AT&T every day asking me to come back. I paid my bill originally as soon as I received it and AT&T, being so large, sent me back to money. Now they can't figure out why I don't want to rush and pay them. Do you think I would every go back to AT&T, NO WAY!!!

I got a call from Brad Mitchell (972-798-1000 ext 220 who was investigating an issue and from their "legal" department. This guy and his company are such flakes its not even funny. The bill in question was not even valid but they will try and talk over you and ask for all sorts of information. I am an attorney so I enjoy having fun with these kind of people but for those of you who just googled this number and are nervous and bothered, let me tell you, do not let these people ruin your day, make you scared or anything else. Tell them to call your attorney and even if you don't have an attorney give them some Wal-Mart local number or the number of a local adult store or something ridiculous as these people and companies like this lack legal regulation and need to be put in their place and the word needs to be spread.

This is Nationwide Recovery Systems and they harassed me as well. They need to be called at their homes at 7pm at night when they are their family over for Dinner.

If you are board during the day, just call these idiots. Pick an extension or a number from above, just make up a name.

I have received a call from Brad Mitchell in the past but you got his extension # incorrect: (972-798-1000 ext 2208

All you bored people out there, give him a ring! Ask him about his day, what he had for breakfast, etc?

Who is Elliott Marshall. I called and he stated that he was a lawyer and had given my info to a process server. I was told that I am now in serious trouble and would be paying big legal bills. Anyone heard of him?

Glad I took the time to look up this company and find that I am not the only person they have been rude to and used unethical collection practices with! This is the most unproffessional company I have ever delt with! I had a debt through At&t and when I called to make payment arrangements they told me that I only had two months to pay before the debt was to be sent to another agency and I would be charged more. One person even told me that I was full of sh!t and to go get my checkbook! Finally I get in contact with a supervisor to find out I could split my bill into 4 payments which was more reasonable. Hope I never have to deal with this horrible company again!

Got a call from them that I owed the hospital and they were collecting on their behalf. Told them they were crazy and I had made a payment agreement with the hospital to pay them monthly. Told them the hospital was about 5 miles from my house and that my brother-in-law was a doctor at said hospital. Oh, by the way I got my monthly bill from the hospital the day NRS called and I told them I had already sent the payment to the hospital. This company (NRS) is a fraud and the people here defending them probably work for them.

Thanks for this post.. I look forward to getting calls from these people and them suing them. debt collectors are soo stupid. I've actually made more money suing them than going back to work!!! WHO HOOO !!! Bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call from Nationwide today that threw me off. They said I owed $52.00 on my AT&T bill that went to them for collections. I have 4 phone numbers with AT&T presently. I thought it was from the transfer of my account from the ST. Thomas / Puerto Rico market to the states. They told me it was- but I explained that I transferred the phone number and all roll over minutes- why would the balance not transfer? And if I owed- why wouldn't they shut off my existing accounts?
Against my better judgment (I was in a rush and started to panic about a bad mark on my credit) I gave the manager, Ms. Parker, my cc number to pay the debt under the condition she would be sending me an email stating that she was removing this debt from my credit completely. She told me it would be in my inbox within an hour. This was 10 hours ago. This debt is also not on my credit reports but they have already charged my card. Is this a scam? What can I do?

You didn't do the right thing by giving them your credit card number. It would have been better if you could have asked them to validate the debt. Moreover, the debt is not even mentioned in your credit report. I personally think this is a scam and you may think of taking legal help in this matter.

I had these BOZOS calling me at my parents house. When I called and demanded they take me off the list they laughed, but it wasn't the last laugh! I proceeded to call THEM repeatedly and insisted on talking to the manager. I was told that the person talking WAS the manager, when I asked his name he refused to give it and hung up. Since he didnt tell me his name, I proceeded to call him Mr. FECES (DONT CURSE, they can report you to the fcc) and called over and over again (he kept hanging up) till he finally removed me from the calling list and threatened to report ME for harassment. Told him," hope he enjoyed his own medicine" and never heard from them again. Guess the $106 I owed wasnt worth it. LMAO I have PAID the money I owed (for an electric bill) and still am laughying at these fools.FYI, A LOUD blast with a police whistle works well too.

This company NRS has been calling me several times a day threatening me over a 200.00 dollar bill that I made payment arrangements with personally with AT&T Mobility. I have a serious problem with an organization that agreed to the 50.00 a month terms. I have records and proof of payment but NRS continues to call..

If you have a payment arrangement with the original creditor, you should call them and find out why a collection agency is contacted you about it. If they tell you that the account is not with any collection agency, then you can send NRS a cease & desist letter.

they arent asking for your social to ruin your credit they are a ligit company and they only need it to locate your account; and to be honest they wouldnt call you if you'd simply pay your bills-

to the man that sues' people for a living....you sue debt collectors for a living??-- lol get a life. a real job. you all are talking shit about debt collectors well dont write checks that your dumb ass's cant cash. lol PAY YOUR BILLS its that simple dont talk shit about NRS nationwide recovery systems- hell n for you all that say they are no real go to nrs.us - yes they are very real and for all of you that have current service anytime you make a change to your account whether it be adding/removing a line or changing your phone number att doesnt do combined billing so your balance that you had before the change will be the one thats at NRS because you have failed to pay once again YOUR BILL! --- and for the ones that claim you had a original payment secured with the client - att'; txu'; who ever your bill is for can only keep your account for 4-5 months before they send it to NRS;; p.s. u all look like jack ass's paying 20 dollars 50 dollars a month on a 500-1000 dollar bill...

your post is typical of your stupid humanoid ilk.first off don't talk to anyone about reall jobs as your wormslime bottomfeeder routinely breaking the law with your calls is hardly legitimate work.second i see a few lawsuits for your bottomfeeder coming as you have been sued before.it's just there is always a settlement.the "cost of doing business"you call it.btw a real person uses the word you,not the letter lazy a$$.the real reason things like you post is because we do question more than ever and you can't handle it.instead of coming on here and looking the fool.why don't you hit the phones drone.before nobody just pays you because you are calling and lying about who you are to get a cheap payday.

I just received a call from them, and my experience wasn't so bad. The girl I spoke to wasn't nice - but far from rude. I didn't have to give my social security number, just verify my name and phone number, and they told me what the debt was for. It happened to be for the anesthesia for my son when he was just born in December, which should have been covered by Medicaid. I gave them his Medicaid information and she said she'd take care of it. Maybe I was just lucky, I know they can be awful!

First of all. You have no clue.

NRS is a reputable company that does a great job. I am an employee here to help if you want help. Most of us have been in similar situation as far as debt goes and sometimes need help in figuring out a viable way to get it resolved. That is what we do if given a chance. Everyone in this life has a job to do, some of us do it well and some of us do not. Just remember this, who is calling us the bottom feeders, is it someone that has had a problem and has no intention of fixing the problem, or is it someone that has had a problem and sincerely wants help getting it resolved? You can't help anyone that can't help their self. Respect you bill collector and they will respect you and hopefully help get you out of a difficult situation.

your post is more civil than typical humanoids,but the reason you are called a bottomfeeder is for the reasons outlined.you are not lawyers,but losers who work for this bottomfeeder say that routinely.that is illegal,but don't even state that.btw your statement that people who use the term "bottomfeeder"are ones who try to avoid responsibilities.well again lying on the phone,never sending even a dunning letter(bet you have no clue to what that is)and who have been sued before only to settle out of court.back to the phones drone.you have people to lie to and illegaly threaten if we don't just pay up on a phone call.

I have no problem with licensed collection agencies (and their agents) who follow proper protocol and adhere to FDCPA and FCRA regulations.

My problem is with junk debt buyers and collectors who harrass, threaten and violate FDCPA and FCRA at every turn.

Period.
