    didnt owe it
    | 2 replies
    i rec'd a letter from Capital Management Services, regarding an alleged debt owed to a company whose name I didnt even fainly recognize.  I called them at the above # and spoke to a woman who offered to settle the debt for 15% of the total owed, indicating to me there was something shady about it.  After further questions they told me who the original creditor was-- a merchant with whom i had an account nearly 15 years ago.  As the merchant does not operat where I now live, the account was closed when I moved.  It had a zero balance and was in good standing.  The woman I spoek to would not admit the dates of the so-called activity, but I reminded her that I closed the account a decade and a half ago; even if money was owed, it was uncollectible.  If the debt was from more recent activity, it was the result of fraudulent use of the card; and if the debt was recent, they surely would not be willing to settle for 15% of the balance.  The lady was not pleased buyt none th less remained professional and said she would make a note of what I told her.  I also sent them a letter (registered of course) witht he same information.
    This company does appear to be a legitimate professional agency, which got some bad information.

    Capital Management Services is a notorious bottom feeder with ties to LVNV Funding (In Greenville, SC):

    http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/alegis_corp.htm

    They have many foot soldiers ("attorneys") working for them.

    I was sued by one of them for a debt which was apparently sold to Capital Management/LVNV funding. And, to make a long story short, they have made my life a living HELL.

    It was when they discovered that I had no assets for them to come after (their clients had already made DAMN sure that I didn't), that Capital Management began their relentless campaign of telephone harassment. I fought back, by having my telephone disconnected.

    In summary, when unscrupulous CA's as these CHOOSE NOT to work with distressed consumers (as they did me), and use the outdated and archaic FDCPA laws to THEIR advantage, they get NOTHING.

    get your info straight before you answer for defamation of character.... capital management doesnt purchase debt, and doesnt have foot soldiers.... pathetic attempt to divert your responsiblities and obligations... and using the fdcpa to "their" advantage ??? it was put in place to protect comsumers, not to benefit the companies actually entitled to their right to recover an unpaid debt... do some more research... and then respond appropriatly and honestly ....

    Bud Says:

    Typical of the Buffalo style CMS has an endless pool of potential employees to fill the chairs that feed their operations.

    The newspaper stories extol the optimistic attitudes of owners, Jeffry Hauser and Larry Costa along with Patricia and Timothy Kraska of an ever growing business that needs only their talent and expertise to survive.

    Emails and information from former employees suggest Capital Management Services is suffering from the same fate that most other Buffalo, NY debt collection organizations face in an unhappy work force, far reaching drug use and untrained, unprofessional management and work staff squeezing every minute they can out of their unprofessional collectors.

    CMS, is suffering from too much growth too fast. The number of debt collectors in America is at an all time high, which has created a shortage of accounts to collect and a potential drought in areas like Buffalo, the debt collection capital of the world.

    So if we use terms such as... ”Buffalo style collection practices’ to describe the actions of CMS employees and are told that drug use and criminal activity is on the increase, why should we even blink, isn’t that what the business in that area is expected to do?

    If CMS has anything good going for them, it is the fact that they have an experienced and respected attorney in Patricia Cipriani. Her background and reputation may be saving Hauser a bundle in legal settlements. Don’t count on luck forever Jeffrey, your house is reported to be a mess and it needs a thorough cleaning.

    Anyone dealing with Capital Management Services, Buffalo, NY be warned to take precautions, NEVER give a  collector your banking or credit card information, tape ALL of their conversations and contact me for referral to attorneys. As long as they are making money, they will continue to pay off their law suits.

    SomethingWicked replies to do unto others ...
    Actually they do use the fdcpa rules set down for consumers to benefit themselves. I had an account that was paid in full on the next business day. The company charged me a late fee. When I stated the bill was paid in full, the company continued to amass late charges on the amount on the account. The grace period back then was if you got paid on a Friday and your due date was on a Saturday, you could pay it the next business day, guess not! This account was closed nearly 9 years ago and they are still trying to get payment for this account. I am not going to ever pay off their late fees, I hope they can keep track of where I move to next!  I am not, nor am I ever going to repay this late fee, its their problem, not mine.

    If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:
    http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

    Here is more info:
    https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

    Or, if you want to read some very helpful information from another regular here on 800notes, who has done significant research into getting legal assistance for this type of scam, click on "BigA`s_Notes", below:

    BigA`s_Notes
    You need to send them a certified, return receipt "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):
