1-800-392-4029 - Has anyone dealt with this agency?

Hi

$200.00 mounting up to $6,864.75 is really confusing. You should definitely ask for a validation of the said debt from the company.

Not sending anything in written itself justifies that they are not practicing business within the legal lines.

I searched them on BBB and it turns out they also do business as ART, and First credit services, inc. As an F.Y.I. their number is 732-726-5692

I keep phone calls from these people on both numbers: 1-800-392-4029, as well as: 732-726-5692. They told me that my payment never went through, which I never made a payment to them. When I asked which credit card number it was it took them about 5-10 minutes before they got back on the phone, so I hung up. And now they will not stop calling me. If this is happening to anyone else, please let me know

Has anyone else noticed how these people aren't very professional either in the way that they talk and what not

I keep getting phone calls from the 732 number and when I ask them who they are and what the bill is that I supposedly didn't pay, then they get nervous and hangup. I get them almost daily. Always someone different. I think I will try something different with them like telling them I will be contacting the Federal Trade Commission in Washington D.C. and see what happens.

what company is this number from 732-726-5692

I just received a recorded call from these people yesterday saying "we have an important business matter that pertains to you, please call us at 1-800-392-4029 with reference #xxxxxx.

I called, not knowing whom I was calling. The man answering asked for my phone number - I refused saying I don't give out that info without knowing to whom I was speaking (I was calling back on a cell phone) The gentleman said that his company is a switchboard for 50 companies and he would need my phone number so that he can transfer me to the relevant company. I then gave my phone number to him, he said "OK you are XXXX?" (not my name - obviously they had an error - butI said yes, because I certainly was not about to give out my name to a stranger from who knows what scam) and he transferred me to a "Ron Glass" at Accounts Receivable Technology (I got this info only after telling Mr. Glass I wouldn't give him any info on me until he divulges who he is and whom he works for).

It then turned out that they called my phone in error to collect on unmade payments by the Mr. xxx (thank god not me) on a Chevrolet. I told him that was not me. At this point, Mr. Glass became indignant that I hadn't correctly identified myself (a little hypocracy perhaps?). I informed him that it was HIS company that called MY home phone yesterday (a "National Do Not Call Registry" phone by the way)didn't identify itself and told me to call the 1-800 # about "an important business matter that pertains to you". He started shouting at me. At this point I informed him that I intend to refer this matter to the FCC and my states Office of the Attorney General.
He then hung up on me.

ART is obviously working outside the boundaries of American business and this needs to be brought to the attention of the authorites.

i just got a new phone from tmobile and for some reason i get a call everyday from this 732-726-5692 number its driving me crazy and whenever i call it back im on the line waiting for up to a half hour b4 i hang up. can someone let me know whats goin on?

It seems that Platinum B is making the call from this number regarding some debt. Call them at 1-866-722-2770 and know the purpose.

It seems that more and more lately, that Accounts Receivable Technology is becoming more and more aggresvive. They are no where near as bad as ECA, but I would advice anyone who is dealing with a collection agency to dial from a number not affiliated to you whatsoever. Dial from a payphone if you have.

I did a little investigative work from my work phone the other day for a member, and the swtichboard operator got really offensive. I simply stated that believed I had the wrong number and asked for "Dave Sumptner". He came back after about 2 seconds of seach and asked for my info. I simply told him, what is the name of your company and I can tell you if it was for me, or maybe one of my other 6 roommates. He traced the call and got bilegerant, and said he'd be contacting my employer.

collection agencies are getting more defiant, when it comes to the FCA laws.

Whenever dealing with any bill collector, it would be in your best interest if you had a recorder. I know it's not always affordable to some, but it could protect you in the future.

Just my opinion....

First Credit Services rips people off for a living, period end of story.

Do not give them any of your personal checking information or your credit card information.

Platinum B called me today and called me a "liar" and a "thief." The idiot told me that they are filing an affidavit with my payroll department and are having the money garnished from my wages. The can't do that.

Melanie,

Please understand wage garnishment is not that much easy. Creditors should win a judgment against you before garnishing your wage. However, if you have signed a voluntary wage assignment, then they can try to withhold a portion of your salary. But in most of the cases, the wage assignment is not done legally. A digital signature is not enough here. Both the parties should sign the paper, otherwise it is invalid.

So please confirm if you have signed any wage assignment or not. You can cancel this agreement if you wish. Please check this link-

Another thing, they cannot use abusive languages while talking to you. File your complaint with FTC, BBB or state AG's office.

Like Neal above, I've been getting the same strange messages for the past week & I finally called then out of frustration asking who they were. The operator said she needed the number I was calling, which I gave her & then she asked me for my number which I refused to give until she would let me know who I was calling. She got indignant and I hung up furious. I am on a 'do not call' list also. I'm sending complaints regarding these calls to the the Attorney General & the FCC.

I just filed a complaint with the BBB and found out the company attached to 732-726-5692 is;

Business ID: 221-0001004349
First Credit Services Inc.
1 Woodbridge Center, Suite 410
Woodbridge, NJ 07095

wow. i have never been treated so rudely by anyone calling ME on my personal cell phone in my entire life. i asked for the name of the business and the man with a thick jersey accent hung up on me. I called back and asked again, this time the same man answered and told me the name of the business was FCS - he wouldn't tell me anything else except that they represent over 30 companies. i was then transfered to "Fran" the manager of said rude man, "Mr. Rubin." She also refused to tell me what her business does, was extremely rude, and told me i was "wasting her time" and hung-up on me after i told her i would be filing a complaint with the BBB. i will also be calling the a.g. office.

here is the website i found for the business:
firstcreditonline dot com

where they claim to be:
"First Credit Services, Inc. is the #1 Collection Agency for the Health & Fitness Industry, and has specialized in collections for the health club industry since 1993. FCS is the preferred agency by most major franchise organizations because their highly acclaimed 2Phase Accounts Receivable Management Program has proven to be the easiest, most effective, and cost efficient way to manage receivables and keep members paying on time and in the gym. Clubs can utilize their program with a push of a few simple keystrokes on their existing software, as they are interfaced with and recommended by all major club management software systems."

has anyone had any success getting these people to stop calling?

thanks.
j. :shock:

Do not give them any of your information. The business you work with will call you and send you notification in writing. They are nothing but bull!

I receive calls from this same company, however, I have yet to return a phone call. Thanks for the information on this site, because I will continue to ignore their calls. Someone mentioned recording the conversations in one post, if you decide to go that route, do so carefully. I am not sure if it is illegal in every state, but in Maryland, it is illegal to record ANYONE without their consent. You may get yourself in some trouble should you decide to record the conversation.

I received calls from 732-726-5692 two days in a roll now.The Funny thing is the phone number that they called is a brand new number we just got 3 days ago, not even my mother knows my new number yet, but they got it right the way. Interesting. :D

so, is this place for real or not? Are they actually trying to collect real debts?

These guys blow.....I wish had some of there damn personal phone numbers I would love to start calling there house in the middle of the night just to say something stupid like...Is your refrigerator running? Or is Sharon Peters there? I swear I get a call from these cats once or twice a day pretty retarded if you ask me. No call list my butt??????????????I guess it just depends if you abide by the law or not.

i get calls from those idiots and i treat them appropriately..ie. ignore them.
:D

i get these calls all the time... i tried to call back today casue i am sick and tired of getting messages on my cell phone from someone telling me to call back and not telling me why... well after 15 minutes of me calling and still waiting for a person to answer i hung up.... thanks for all the tips of not telling them who you are...

If these Idiots call you , As soon as they start speaking (recorded message) Hit 7 on your phone as many times as you can. What this does is foul up there machine. This will cause them to have to manually input your number back in there data base. They catch it every 3-4 days. Its works. Good Lcuk

I have been doing my own investigation on these frauds. Here is a list of who we need to get phone umbers for. President Frank Russo, Vice President Paul Errigo, COO Fred landrum. All live in WoodBridge New jersey. Give them a call and et them know how much you enjoy there phone calls. Make sure that its early in the morning, or right before supper time. Let the calls begin.

paul errigo 121
frank russo 111
anne marie parado 110.
USe *67 before calling. then they cant trace your number, or if your like me. who cares. I have nothing to hide from these scum suckers. Enjoy"

I work at a car dealership, and ALL calls come straight through me because I am the receptionist. These people have left messages, but I just hang up because they are recordings. I don't even know who they are looking for. They can't be looking for a specific person because they are calling the business line and only refer to us as "you" (ie. YOU need to call us back, YOU haven't returned our calls.)
I've been trying to get ahold of them. After reading everyone's posts, I do believe I am going to be extremely rude to these people just because they have done it to some of you. I will let them know they are calling a business and we will take legal action if they call us again.
OH! And I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but they don't start their recordings unless you say, "hello" If you say anything other than "hello" the line will be blank.

they keep calling my place of employment, we all just hang up on them , are they only a collection agency for gyms and health places cause i dont belong to a gym never have, the better business bureau gives them an unsatisfactory rating. i think we should stick together and dont listen just hang up

WOW i ust recieved a call from these people today I called them back the lady said this was accounts receivable and asked for my phone number. I said accounts receivable for who and she said dont worry and hung up. Lol im sure BBB will love to hear this story

They's probably love to hear a bit more than that. Doesn't really sound like you have enough for a valid complaint. Answer the phone when they call, record if you are in a 1 party state, companies like this usually end up with the whole shoe store in their mouths.

These people ( I use the term loosely) have been HOUNDING my 70 year old mother for a debt that say is due from me on a turned in auto lease from 7.5 years ago. The amount is for $226.00 and they could not tell me the reason for the debt. I turned the lease in and paid all of the charges and then said getting these harassing automated phone calls 7.5 years later. They want credit card information or bank account information to pay off this so called debt. I went to the bank that held the lease and they looked up my records, what they had did not show any debt owed by me. They had no record past 6 years. I have called these people and told them to stop calling my 70 year old mother and gave them my correct number. This is going on for two and half months now. I REFUSE to pay a debt that not a valid debt. They have threatened to ruin my credit and have been very unprofessional on the phone me. I have repeatly asked for a letter to be sent and still no letter showing that I owe this debt. I am so glad I found you website in regards to their shady dealings.

My friend keeps getting these calls from 1-800-392-4092 and they keep saying that they're looking for Rebbecca but my friend has told them millions of times that they've got the wrong number. This last time they called, the person said her name was Lisa Henry and when my friend called back they were really rude to her! Has anyone else had this problem?

This guy has been calling my house for 5 years for someone who no longer lives here or who I'm in contact with. I left him several messages about this, but he relentlessly leave my old roommate messages all the time. He just did right now. The guy is an idiot. Don't deal with him if you can avoid it. Someone should sue his company and his company should fire him.
