Reported to Colorado BBB - Get rid of GCS

Sorry forgot she said to call her back at 866-225-4872

Htgt123

That number is located in Jacksonville, Fl.

Not sure if it's Anthony Galloway, or "Interstate Collections". However, I do know that the operator was an employee for Ted Crosby, when he had his Ellis Crosby & Associates company.

It is very possible that he reopened under another name, or his business partner Dick Greenburg. Be careful when you have contact with anyone from this company.

So what is it with all of the collectin companies in Jacksonville, FL. The whole town must be collectors. I am thinking about filing a complaint against them with the BBB and the attorney General Office. Do I file with the Florida Attorney Generals office? Or my state?

They just called me stating if I did not wire money to them today, attorney fees and court costs would be added and that I should not pay the other company that I am dealing with on this debt. Legally can they do anything if I do not pay them ?

Thank God for this website. I was almost scared into sending a moneygram until I investigated the company Interstate Wire Compliance on the internet. Thank you!

They don't have the rights to do anything unless they are holding your debt account in legal terms. Ask them to give you debt validation on the account so that you can make payments to them. If they are holding your accounts, they might be having your SSN#. Ask for it so that you can do some verification.

Not sure what you mean about holding the account in legal terms - that what alarmed me is she told me that this account came to their legal dept. this morning and that was why they added attorney fees to the debt - if I don't wire the money, and instead just mail a payment will anything happen legally? Thanks for your help!

when i got the call, the lady said she was from the Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau, she had also left me a message at home just a few minutes before

Interstate Wire Compliance Bureau mentioned that your account came to their legal dept. This forces them to validate it.

If you mail the payment not knowing if they are actually holding your account, you won't be sure whether it has actually gone to your account. It might happen later that some other agency will again contact your for the same account and force you to make the payment, which you might have already done this time and unfortunately it did not go to the right place.

Sending a summary of your account is the most important thing that you will have to get from the company.

I got a call today from a Mike Weinstein, stating he was an attorney from Taylor James & Associates and he was collecting for MTM Ventures and I needed to pay $852.00 by the end of the day or else I would have criminal charges against me. I know these people have something to do with Ellis Crosby & Assoc. because he told me all the same things. I want you to write my number down and I want to ask you if you are in any other fraudulent check trouble. I don't know what to do about these people because I can't find any other info on them, he told me his number was 866-867-7370.
