- They called and a female person threatened my 7 year-old grandson that she was going to have the police put me in jail for not paying a bill and to get me right away. This poor child was having nightmares for weeks as I was his daytime primary caregiver for several months. They threaten the elderly and now a seven year old. I am ex Navy Special forces. A bad person to screw with as all of my closest associates are either ex SEALS or Recon Marines.
- Hello,
Yes, these people have been scamming me for about three years. i have a bunch of information for your attorney, and i would really like to hear from him or her. I do not feel comfortable detailing my history with these clowns on the internet. I can tell you however that they have really jerked me around, and I think your attorney would be very interested in my story. If you have more secure way to contact you, or your attorney, I will be happy to detail my interaction with these people. - I am in a similar situation. I have been making payments for over a year. However, I've never received proof of payments. The current representative handling my case said he would send receipts and a letter indicating the remaining balance. To date, I have not received anything. Luckily, I have my bank statements. This is a good thing but it is also bad because they have access to my bank account. My biggest mistakes was giving them this information because in good will, I really wanted to resolve this debt. According to my records, the debt was paid in full July 2009. However, the representative said that I would be done in November. I recently called the general information number because I've called him numerous times but have yet to hear from him. I was informed he no longer works there.
I have so much more to say about my experience with P+B Capital Group but think I have said enough for now.

Bud Says...
Another ‘Buffalo Style’ debt collector with all the common lies, threats and extortion you expect from the Debt Collection Capital of the World; BUFFALO, NEW YORK!
Owners, Spoor, Kazmark and Welch are out buying up old, mostly worthless debts, then calling consumers with threats of immediate lawsuit, garnishment and seizure in their illegal attempts to collect at highly inflated numbers. We were NOT surprised when a search of state records showed NO licensing or bonding as required by law. The name they use is typical of how many debt collectors want you to think they are a law office, when they are not. Expect their collectors to lie and state they are attorneys, which is a felony in most states. These are the lowest of the low-lives, the losers who can’t find work anywhere else. Their job is to lie, cheat and extort your money under the guise of fear.
The enclosed email describes their collection tactics:
“They first called our parents and threatened to serve court papers to put a lien on our house in 20 minutes unless we called them. Our parents are old and do not need to be harassed.
They also called our daughter-in-law and threatened to send someone to kick the door in at her house.
But worst of all, when our daughter called the 800 number and asked what they needed, the person there (apparently Glenn) started shouting obscenities and used the "F" word. Our daughter was so upset she was unable to determine which creditor, if any, this company represents.
We can find no record of any mail correspondence from this company.”
This behavior is typical of Buffalo, NY collectors, extending from the GIOVE/MCKELVEY/COLLINS/EVANS/BURGESS collectors, who are on a one way ticket into bankruptcy, as was their predecessors, the Lenahans. We found over and over that these type collectors have serious criminal records; many on probation and a large number are drug users, who feed their habits off the debts they collect. Consumers are warned that paying them will NOT help their credit in any way; they do NOT have access to that type of information.
Suffice to say, we will continue to assist consumers in referral to local consumer law professionals and law enforcement officials who can deal with this group. We STRONGLY warn anyone being contacted NOT to deal with them under any conditions and to NEVER give them any type of banking or credit card information.
There are consumer law professionals available nationwide who can assist you in going after them. We are happy to assist you in dealing with them, so you are NOT a victim of their scam, or end up on their list of those scammed by their illegal enterprise.
Bradley W. Spoor, Ryan D. Kazmark and Sean J. Welch Can be held accountable for their actions in a courtroom, we can assist you to that end.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE LIARS & CON MEN OF PHILLIPS & BURNS!
http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/phillips_burns.htm- And a hefty list of federal lawsuits filed against them: http://dockets.justia.com/search?query=Philli ... 1&max-year=2008
- ..and they've just taken to blocking any caller-ID info on calls from this number. THANKS BUD HIBBS!
http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/phillips_burns.htm - They are scamming me as I write this, and I could really use some help. I have quite a history with these clowns and I suspect a real attorney would be interested in hearing it. After this, I am not comfortable posting that long story on the net, so please let me know how I can contact you.
Thank you so much for posting this information. - UPDATE:
Was paying P&B 50.00 bi-weekly starting Sept. 2008. Did not hear another word from them, so called them and asked for a ledger in Jan 2009. Still no reply so I canceled payment to get their attention around July. They called out of the blue in Oct. 2009, demanding payment and threatening judgment. Frightened, I agreed to 25.00 bi weekly, and paying that now. They promised to send a ledger, but instead they sent the payment "agreement" from the phone call. Original bill was 2,000, which was dropped (by Them)to a total of 1170.00 before the start of the 50.00 bi-weekly payments. After all of those payments, the bill is now at 2,154.63!
I am on my way to the bank to confirm exactly what has been paid to these clowns.
- nan14 Oct 2008they called my parents house but my mom didn't answer so I called the number back and it was a recording saying the name of the company and also you have been summons and after that I just hung up my parents get these bad calls and need to stop calling them somthing needs to be done there both in there late 70's and they don't need this kind of treats to them.
- These fools called my Mother-in-Laws house the day her husband died to threaten her son, my husband, saying he was going to jail the next day unless he paid some debt because they had a warrant out for his arrest (LOL). Luckily, I intecepted the call that day, because they sounded creepy to begin with, so these pigs could not do any damage to her already weakened psyche. They are still calling and lying from what I've heard from her, but she's a good ole Catholic and won't stoop to their level so she just avoids the calls, although she is recording them. One day we'll file a complaint and we'll have plenty of ammo to provide with the recordings and these guys can be put away with their own kind, or most likely a better caliber criminal.
- THEY'VE BEEN HARRASSING ME OVER A MONTH NOW,OFFERED TO SETTLE A FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR DEBT FOR THREE THOUSAND. I NFORMED THEM I DID NOT HAVE IT,THAT I WOULD DO WHAT I CAN,THEY WERE NOT PLEASED WITH THAT TOLD ME I HAVE UNTIL THE FIRST OF MAY TO COME UP WITH 2900 OR I WILL GET A COURT SUMMONS.
