ADR collection

Couldn't find anything on this number? Just wait, other members might be able to give you more information on this number.

If this is regarding a payday loan from Nationwide Cash then they aren't a legit collection firm, they are 'in house'. Just tell em you don't discuss financial matters to voices over the phone. The FDCPA requires 3rd party collectors to send a letter of collection via the mail within 5 days of their first initial contact.

I left this same message somewhere else on this site. I have been contacted by ADR as well even though I have no debts. I contacted a lawyer and this is how it turned out:

This window requires Javascript support. Please enable scripting. [Representative 3] Hello.
[Visitor] Good afternoon
[Visitor] I have just sent a free case review and was wondering if I should talk to you in chat or wait to hear back from the revies
[Visitor] review rather
[Representative 3] Of course.
[Visitor] The company that I am dealing with is called ADR Nationwide.
[Representative 3] Alright. Have they been calling you?
[Visitor] Several times a day from a blocked number, but only left two messages.
[Visitor] The first message stated that I need to call them back immediately so they can verify my US address and phone number and that charges have been filed against me. And that I am only being given one chance to call back.
[Visitor] At the end of the message she states that I have been officially notified before ending the call
[Visitor] I have never heard of these people nor have I received letters from them.
[Visitor] The second messages was sent via urgent stating that I have been told what the charges are being filed against me, I have not and I must call them now to settle this. And that this is my final warning. Then ended the call.
[Representative 3] Give me a moment while I research the Defendant
[Visitor] Thank you
[Representative 3] I do not see them in our database. Do you happen to have a phone number from them?
[Visitor] 877-548-4064. Her name is Brenda Taylor
[Visitor] She gave me a claim number of 116686
[Representative 3] give me a moment while I research the defendant
[Visitor] Thank you.
[Representative 3] I called the number and they are Nationwide.
[Visitor] Okay.
[Representative 3] But they are refusing to give me more information. Let me check another place. Give me a moment
[Visitor] The first message they left me stated they were ADR Firm. Leading me to believe they are lawyers. It was the second message left that stated they were Nationwide.
[Representative 3] I'm having difficulty locating them. This leads me to believe that they may be a "scam" company.
[Visitor] That does not sound good. I have read posts on google about their collection processes.
[Representative 3] Usually, debt collection companies have to disclose their name when they are called. Also, most of the big collection companies are members of the ACA. Regretfully, I cannot find them there either.
[Visitor] What is the best way for me to deal with them?
[Representative 3] I would suggest not revealing any information to them until you receive a letter with a valid U.S. address.
[Visitor] I have changed my phone number yesterday so I not wish to call them in case they have caller ID. Should I not contact them at all then?
[Representative 3] Valid debt collectors must send you a letter within 5 days from the initial telephone calls. Most if not all of the real companies do. I would wait and see.
[Visitor] Okay. They started calling since the beginning of last week. At least I am assuming so since that is when the unlisted number started calling. I will wait to see if I get a letter from them.
[Representative 3] Good luck and if you do receive a letter, please contact us so we may help you.

This Company is completely fake!! 2 different names nationwide and Adr. I had a member named robert green calling from an unknown number saying he needed my address so I could be served because I was being sued LMFAO well first of all that's not how a law office would find you by phon!! And second he couldn't tell me who was sueing me!! He said to call this # and they could tell me I pretty much laughed at him which aggraveted him and he called me back 7 times in a row!! No bill collecter or ligitamate company would harrass you that way! My husband even told him to quit calling and he got ugly with him!! He continued to call and call and call I never would pick up and he never lwft a message!! Then somehow they got a relatives # and called them asking about me What a joke!! I called the 1877 # and the first person asked for a clain # well they dumb guy never even gave me one I started askin ? About the company he said you have no claim # so goodbye and hung up!! I then called back and spoke to another guy he said they were a law firm I said I want to speak to a supervisor, so a woman gets on the phone I tell her Robert Green is harrassing me and I want the address to her company she states they don't have a Robert green working there!! I start asking ? She wants my name I told her No she says then quit calling here!!! I call back it's her again she started talkin shit (how professional) she then called me by a name which wasn't even my name lol she hung up on me!! I finally changed my number had the call traced by my cell carrier and filed a police report against the company and # a dectective is assigned to investigate the buissness and locate the addrress the calls are coming from so that I can press charges which is exactly what I will do, What's even funnier is the unknown calls started 5 min after I hung up with the Bitch!! I thought they said they were not connected!!! If this # calls you change your number and report it!! you don't mess with me or my family you think your smart but in the end your gonna get f-ssss!!!!

I just received a call with the same scenario as stated by "Big Scam." Told me they were to serve me legal papers but wouldn't tell me his name and who they were but I am to call ADR at 866.283.6604 to resolve this and have them nulify the summons. Threats such as these are illegal according to the Fair Debt Collections Act. What the F@##$ is wrong with these people???!?!?!?!

I had this company call me and my family. I finally called back to which they stated they had a file in their office regarding a debt with Urgent Cash Advanced, and that I was going to have papers served to me for check fraud, and something about intent to defraud from back in 2007, which was just "filed" in 2010. They said they were the mediation company, that they could not send me a VoD, it was up to Urgent to do that and they were just a 3rd party trying to settle it, which I could settle it if I was willing to give them my banking information since they will not take another method of payment.
I pointed out that I currently do not have any complaints pending against me in my county, which I would have to have if there was any legal paperwork to be sent. You can't send paper work that doesn't exist. He said he didn't know the laws, couldn't give me the physical address, but that I could check with the BBB and that they were called WorldWide. Naturally, there's a ton of companies with this name.

I told them I wouldn't give my banking information to people I do not know, and if they wanted me to pay, they better think of an alternative method, get me a VoD, and then we can talk.

ADR collections is owned by Rick Wynn who uses the fake name Mason Mitchell. He also owns Action Debt Recovery. This is the same guy who worked for Florida First Financial for 20 years which according to online information eventually went out of business for not paying clients.
