713-464-4449 - Does this number belong to CRSI?

As with any collection agency, they should have provided you with a letter stating the amount that you owe. Since you did this by Western Union, you could use that as your proof. Be leary with any company asking you to send money to them via Western Union.

The next time you speak with CRSI, ask for proof that the last payment was posted. Also ask for an address stating that you wish to mail in your last payment. As a consumer, you have every right to this information.

I can demand that before I send in the final payment? DO you have any information, address on this company that I can forward a letter to this week before it is due next week? I am unsure of calling them b/c they will give me a difficult time.

Thanks for the information...

Do you know what CRSI stands for?

Do you have any phone numbers I can do searches on?

I can perhaps find a contact for you, if I had some more information about the company.

There # is 713-335-1300 I do not have the full name of the company. They are out of TX and had a weird code for me to put in the account # field. I hope I was not scammed again like with Ellis & Crosby....

Next time, when you deal with any collection agency, get a written statement about the accounts before you make any payment. You will have proof that you have entered into a legal agreement.

Regarding the present dealing with CRSI, keep the receipt of the money order in safe place as this is the only proof of your payment being made.

Should I just call them up or mail them a letter requesting information on the debt before any further payments are forwarded. I asked for confirmation of the debt before payment but she said the action would proceed if they did not receive something that week. I will NOT send any more money until I receive paperwork from them. IF I send the letter does that show confirmation. I do not want them to call my parents house or my house to harass either party any further.

Please help me with how I should proceed.

Thank you.

The number I have matches one of the ones Roxette mentioned with the TX address.

Should I mail them a letter requesting verification of the loan and my first payment and I should do this before they receive any more $$$. I believe next week I will call them if I don't have paperwork to tell them no money until I get documentation, correct.

Thanks for all of the communication.

Corporate Collection Services, Inc. is also a collection agency but it did not match with the phone number 713-464-4449 given by gardnerjl. And moreover, he has stated them to be out of TX

Collector Matt, I know that Western Union/Money Gram are great ways to send money quickly but if you get no official documentation from the debt collector regarding payments and debt owed shouldn't you wait until you receive confirmation of the debt and then receive documentation of the payment?

I am not willing to pay just want to make sure that the money is going to the right place. After my dealings with Ellis Crosby & Associates, I have every right to be apprehensive.

Thanks for your comment.

I spoke with someone by the name of carmen cruz, who was very ingnorant on the phone this afternoon. I told her that i did not appreciate her calling my job and leaving a nasty message the way she did. It was not the words but the tone of her voice. Even when i called to speak with her she called me uneducated and that was not necessary and not so. I have been going through some financial difficulties for the last 2 years and i know that i am in debt to some people. This attitude does not help in getting people to try and find a way to pay their debts. I felt very uncomfortable talking to her. I asked would she like it if someone called her job and left a message like that and she just started hollering at me on the phone. She does not have people skills at all. :oops:

Hi CBUSH

Welcome to the forums.

I am sorry to hear about this. You can stop all the calls at your place of work by sending a cease and desist letter to the company's mailing address. Mention the point that you prefer to be contacted only by mail. After you have sent this letter, they are legally restricted from calling you further.

If they call you after receiving your letter, you can face up this matter in legal terms. If it is permissible in your state, please record the phone call and if it is not, take the permission from the caller that the call is being recorded for legal reasons.

It should not have been done as the way it was. File your complaints at the FTC, BBB and the state attorney general office.

I need advice, CCS has been harassing me for a owed payment that is not even mine. CCS called my house several times leaving messages for me to contact them. At first I ignored the messages but then I called them. They state that I purchased a device from Helio and they are calling to collect. I told them that I never purchased anything from Helio and I never heard of Helio. They accused me of lying. I called Helio with the account number given to me by the collections. Helio states that they do not have me in their data base. That account belongs to some one else with my name. Nothing else matched. I called CCS to give them the information that I recieved from Helio. CCS did not want to listen. I have been going back and forth with this matter and I am not getting anywhere. I can't believe this is happening to me, I never purchased anything from Helio. CCS is trying to collect from the wrong person.

Send them a debt validation letter, be sure to include a partial cease & desist for phone calls. This forces them to prove you owe the debt. If this is not yours, they can not prove it. If they persist, if they put it on your credit, if they do anything, you can haul their sorry butts to court and collect money from -them.-

Or better yet, just send them a complete cease & desist, explain in no uncertain terms that this debt is not yours and if they continue to pursue you, you will take them to court.

Only do this is you are absolutely sure they have the wrong person, because this could force a CA to take you to court. Also keep an eye on your credit report in case they try anything tricky.

My hours were recently cut down from work. I currently owe a debt to Simms and Associates. I was given a creditor to work with named Kathleen Crane (if that is her real name). Well, I have been paying consistently each month since last year on my debt. However, since my hours were just recently cut, I explained to Kathleen that I cannot afford to pay the 175.00 each month now. I can only pay $50.00 month. When I told her that she informed me that they will not accept this amount. She told me that if I did not get a $100.00 payment by Thursday, August 28th then she would process this so that I would be sued and they would send someone to my home to auction off my things in my apartment, also she said that she was going to have them put a lien on my apartment and car and take 45% of my income in order to get the debt. Then she messed up with her days. After all that, she then told me to get it into her office by Friday, but she said that she would not be there. When I asked her what am I to do about $100.00 she yelled at me and said "BORROW IT." I was very upset. So I decided to borrow the money, but I could only borro $50.00 from a sick relative. When I called her back, I explained to her that I did not appreciate how disrespectful she was towards me and that I wanted a document faxed to me stating the measures that this company was going to take if she did not receive the payment by the next day or the same day, and to inform her that I am sending the $50.00 today. Well, after I told her to fax that document to me she became very angry with me and she hung up on me. I never even got a chance to tell her that I am sending the payment. I paid the $50.00 anyway.

Send them a DV letter. Have them prove that you owe the debt.

It appears to me that CRSI is engaged in a variety of illegal practices with regards to collection efforts. Not only do they harass people in their work place, they also use caller id hacking software to make it appear that their call is coming from someone you know. They also tap into company databases to find out who your manager is, and send information about their complaint to them, as well. This company doesn't just have bad people skills, they are BAD PEOPLE and need to be sued for their illegal practices.

What is amazing to me is the amount of laws that these "debt collectors" break on a daily basis. You really, really need to read the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. They can not threaten you and are required to provide the validation of the debt if asked. NEVER NEVER EVER agree that you owe a debt. You ALWAYS ask them to prove it!!! It is the Law and it is your RIGHT to demand the validation of a debt. Tell them you will no longer take phone calls and that the must cease and dessist all communications with you. Bet you did not know that you could do that! Under the FDCPA you can tell them to stop calling you, if they do after you have given them notice, they are breaking the law and you can take them to small claims court and SUE THEM! Don't let them scare you with threats about showing up to your house and auctioning off your stuff. Look, I am an expert with dealling with these guys and have had multiple judgments vacated and have shown multiple people how to win against these "Criminal's!" PLEASE EDUCATE YOUR SELF...READ THE FDCPA. feel free to contact me at Bye the way...never contact a lawyer about this stuff...all they want is your money/billable hours.
