fyi, you're an idiot.  They buy debt that's past the statute of limitations.  They call the last phone number listed by the borrower.  The person who answers usually does not owe the debt, since they were not the borrower.  Then the agency tries to intimidate them into paying a debt they do not owe.

My boss just got a phone call from these people at HER HOME, NOT MY HOME, HER HOME, wanting my home phone number.  I looked up the company and I sent them an email asking them what they want with me.  My God, how stupid!

To all who have had calls from Diversified Collection Services, if you can, get a petition up, get as many signatures as you can, even from people who have not had dealings with this company, but have been harassed by other agencies.  Send the petitions to your state attorney general's office and a copy to the Federal Trade Commission.  They will take it from there.  This company has had over 842 complaints against them but they have managed to get away with their unfair debt practices.  If everyone comes together, you might be able to put them out of business.  Seems like in 2002, DCS was one of eight corporations accused of giving a total of $190,000 to Texans for a Republican Majority legislative campaign.  Bet you it was money that they harassed people out of.

TO FYI...

DCS takes money even after the loans are paid.  They never send you any monthly statements letting you know your balance and/or next payment date.  The U.S. Dept. of Education sends your application for a loan to a gurantor, i.e. Great Lakes, Fannie Mae, etc, who in turns seeks to find a lender.  You have 30 days to respond to the collection agency, however DCS doesn't wait 30 days to hear from you.  They begin to harass you from the moment you contact them desputing the balance or even owing the money.  There have been people who have paid off their loans years ago but DCS and Great Lakes said that they still owe money.  Petition!

Receiving calls on my business cellphone from these guys and so is my uncle. What can I do?

This company Keeps calling me about a deliquent Student loan. I have never had a student loan, the name they have is the same as my name but diffrent SS# and DOB. they still call 3-4 times a day i am sick of it.

Asking for "Donat Grillet". I have had this phone # for over 3 years. It was his # previously. I told the woman that this was not his phone number, it was mine and to stop calling, as I have received over 75 calls from people looking for him. She got upset with my anger and went off on me. And then, hung up.

fyi so works for them lol!

this number called me today. now i know not to pick up :) thanks you guys

If you have submitted all of the paperwork from your doctor saying that you are totally and permanently disabled and will never be able to work at any job for the rest of your life, and DCS, Inc has found that you are not eligible to have your debt forgivin, you have to pay it! Your signature is on a legal binding contract promising to pay back the student loan that, as you say , is at least 16 years old. Your debt will continue to increase until you pay it.  New legislation has been passed where the Department of Education or whoever you owe the money to, can garnish your SSI. You owe this money to the government and receive government funds each month! Wow, you shouldn't be getting anything at all. If I was you, I would contact them and try to work out some type of payment plan to protect yourself from garnishment or lawsuit. Taxpayers are the ones who take the hit when people do not pay their student loans. When did vegetables learn to use a p.c.?

I made one mistake by befreinding a 'dead beat' 10 to 12 years ago, I didn't know that she was a dead beat, and I haven't seen her since.  She asked me to be her reference and like the gulible idiot that I am I became her reference. I haven't seen her nor spoke to her since graduation, and still I get calls from these collection agencies. I pay my bills and slowly paying off my debts and my student loan is paid off. These agencies won't leave me alone, I don't know where she is and I don't care, and I've told these agencies just exactly that.  Now, DCS is calling me. I'm the honest one and I'm the one who gets harassed.  Can she steel my identity by using just  my phone number?

calls often it is most likely a collection agency trying to scare and scam you out of your money! they never answer when you pickup! fyi I don't owe any debt so why are they allowed to computer auto dial people's phones! telemarketers aren't allowed so why are they allowed to call it is the same with those so called "survey" and "charities" they sell your number and they wonder why you answer rudely when they keep calling after you politely ask on the first time to have your number removed from their lists!

Started receiving calls from DCS Inc.  Never received any mail from them, don't know who they are. Spoke to a Jane Light, who was looking for my son (he does not live with me).  Jane called from 541-955-7873 but asked to be contacted at 541-956-8822.  Jane stated she was calling from Oregon.

Can't get them to stop calling

You must be one of those no good, pathetic debt collectors who can't find a decent job for either a lack of job skills or mos likely, your lack of intelligence. Most debt collection companies and debt collectors automatically assume that just because a company pays a few thousand dollars a year to the debt collector to assist them in collecting unpaid bills, that whoever they call, that person is guilty of not paying a bill they owe. So just because a collection company calls you and says that you owe them money ...you owe them money? Ever heard of "innocent until proven guilty"?  So if I called you out of the blue and simply stated that you owed ABC, Inc. $1,283.00 you must owe them the money, right? No not you but the person you are calling would. Smuck!!!  It in the best interest to believe that every person on their (debt collection agency)list owes the money because they get a cut of the monies they collect as does the caller acting as the pain-in-the-[***] debt collector. So crawl back under the rock you crawled out of and get a real job. Hopefully one in which you can benefit the human race instead of causing stress.

Person name, Lisa, asked if she was speaking to (my name) then advised she wanted to be sure she had the right number because she just looked in a directory but then said she is trying to reach the mother of someone with my last name. I told her I don'tknow that person & I am an identity theft victim and she probably is looking for the person who is impersonating me but she advised she was sure this was an actual person, thanked me, & hung up. I called back 3 times & she would keep immediately placing me on hold.

A woman named Jamie Monroe called me at work looking for a friend. She claimed she was calling for a business reference - and needed to speak to him. When I asked what type of reference she claimed it was ilegal to tell me and insisted I give her my friend's contact info. I was curious why she was calling for a biz reference but did not have contact info for him directly I asked her the name of her company: DCS Incorporated. I asked her what that stood for and she repeated DCS. I told her it would be stupid of me to give her info when she would not evern identify her company, Then she insisted I take her phone number. I did not and hung up on her. THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THIS COMPANY ARE EVIL LIERS.

Thanks for leaving the messages about this company.  I'll set my ringtone at silent for these folks.  I don't have a student loan.  I'm not a student.  My cell phone is 2 weeks old.  I don't need a headache.

FYI - You're the idiot!  DCS Inc does not "Buy" loans.  They are contracted by Federal and State agencies as a 3rd party collection agency.  Very simple answer - Pay your bills!  Americans complain about 500 million being sent to Iraq but know nothing of the 217 Billion dollars that "american citizens" owe their on government!  No wonder my child can't go to school!

P.S. There are no statute of limitations on student loans or taxes.

FYI - per the contract signed by you to get the loan (and by law) this is not only legal, it is authorized by..........YOU!
