I have just received a call from the Lyons Group saying that I owe over $400.00 to BMG. They cannot provide me with any information except that the funds were deposited in my account sometime in April. Unfortunately for them I contacted my bank and my account has never received a deposit from this company. I was told that I would be arrested but when I called them back, they tried to cover their tracks and say that I would have to go to court. This company says that it is not a collection agency but an asset investigation company. As far as I know the rules of the FDCPA are being violated and after reviewing these posts, I am not the only person this is happening to. It sounds like this company is using fraud to get money out of people. If there is an attorney reading this post, I would like to start a lawsuit so please respond to this post.
BMG/Bahamas Marketing Group a/k/a iCollect, they aren't even
BMG/Bahamas Marketing Group a/k/a iCollect, they aren't even located in the U.S., don't see how you could possibly sue a non U.S. company.
I wouldn't bother calling them back anymore. If they call you,
I wouldn't bother calling them back anymore. If they call you, if you feel like talking to them, you can tell them they MUST send you something in writing re. this supposed loan (don't admit to owing money over the phone). However, if it were me, I'd just hang up on them. If you think they do in fact have your checking account information, you should probably close out your account and open a new one, just to be safe.
