They are a collection agency out of N.Y., their address and contact number is below:
Ross & Crim
8351 Lewiston Road - Suite 201
Batavia , NY 14020
(877) 302-8872
My advice to you, if they should call back, is to tell them they are required by the federal law (FDCPA) to send you a dunning letter (letter of collection) through the mail within 5 days of their first initial contact with you. Until you receive a letter, I would not admit to owing a debt over the phone, nor would I even consider making payment arrangements of any sort.
This collection agency is known to violate the FDCPA, so you will need to educate yourself on your rights as a debtor by reading up on the FDCPA, you can google.
