These scumbags are just one of many [***] out there ripping honest people off. They need to be stoned to death.

Unfortunately, Georgia, our state, requires neither license nor bond to engage in the business of purchased debt collection. Therefore, any company from out-of-state, and even in-state, can pretty much do whatever they deem as "appropriate" to harass, threaten, abuse, and file cases against individuals - without any fear of easy legal reprisal.

It is not this way in all states, but the Georgia State Legislature, Governor, Secretary of State, and State Attorney General have all but declared open season on Georgia Residents for purchased debt - even if you are being called by mistake. There are documented cases in Georgia (see the recent Hanna & Associate legal problems) were collection agencies and the marginal law offices they bed-down with are falsifying documents, affidavits, and testimony in court documents. Georgia has failed to follow the minimum standards, set by most states, by regulating this industry.

Even O.C.G.A. (Official Code of Georgia Anointed) statues states (paraphrasing) "the court will provide every opportunity for a creditor/plaintiff to seek relief from the debtor/defendant". We have seen one example, forwarded to our office, of a junk debt buyer (Stenger & Stenger, PC / Capital Alliance Financial, LLC - one in the same, both owned by Phillip Shea Stenger in Grand Rapids MI) pushes through cases of purchased debt with no documented legal records, ignoring Defendant's discovery, late non-compliant court filings, and documented and certified out-and-out  falsifications in Motions and Filing - still winning a Summary Judgments in Georgia. This is also a great example of an Attorney/Junk Debt Purchaser not having to file any business license or procure a bond from the State of Georgia to conduct business within our state or courts.

This is a real problem in Georgia. I'll relinquish the soap-box now...

Collection company.They have been calling me 4 times a week for the last year and a half because I stopped paying all of my credit cards.I'll just let them keep calling for 7 years and then my debt will be forgiven.L.O.L. suckers!!!!Thanks for giving me all that free money,about $8,000 worth.he,he

Repeatedly calling for Adam>please hang up if you are not Adam. They are apparently a collection  co.
I do not know Adam nor does he live here. Please stop calling

This is a robocall from a "Walter Smith" of "FMS". I receive it every day at 8:04 a.m. I would like to stop it but I'm afraid if I call, they will know it is a live number and sell it!

Stop calling FMS!!
I'm not willing to pay YOU just to return your call.
What idiots!

These people call every day but never say anything. I finally got through to a person today and all she said, in a foreign accent, without ever asking my name or anything, just repeated back my phone number, that they would remove our number and hung up.

No questions, no explanation,  nothing. Strangest thing ever.

you are nuts.  they are not going to stop calling because you tell them not to.  once your # is in their file they will call, EVEN if it is not your DEBT.    they pass the # and file from one desk, and office to another. We have gotten calls since 09 for debts belonging to someone we knew of 20 yrs ago! they are still coming in and now being passed from company to company,   Cease letter have even been sent... the whole collection thing is totally out of control....     do not call list do NOT work....    we have been on it since the beginning.   The whole problem is the gov agency's  do NOT do anything.   EVERYTIme, they call, they get reported and each new company gets a letter, but they are still calling!  makes me wonder, just how much money can this Kroger employee own,  for this kind of harrasment

Every day we get a call from SMS about someone named "Shandra Williams" we moved to this address 8 months ago and do not know this person. I have repeatedly called back to this number to report that this individual does not live here. I can never get a positive reply, the reason most likely is simple.  These so called Gestapo apes probably never graduated from high school, are socially inferior, have the mind set of Adoph Hitler, probably never dated, overweight, buck toothed, pimples galore and a high IQ (on a good day of around 56!!)

These phone calls are harrassing, intimidating and infringing on my civil rights.  
Next step is contacting Rod McKenna , Washington State Attorney General, and a phone call to the Seattle Times, they love stories about companies that try these intimidating factors.

THE LATEST SCAM FROM THE BUYERS OF OLD DEBTS (LEGALLY UNCOLLECTABLE DUE TO THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS), IS TO CALL AND SPEAK WITH YOU...  IF THEY CAN SHOW A COURT, THEIR PHONE RECORDS SHOWING THEY HAD  (IN FACT) SPOKEN WITH YOU,
ALL THEY NEED TO DO THEN- TO RESURRECT THE OLD DEBT, AND RESTART THE STATUE CLOCK, IS SWEAR THAT YOU MADE A PROMISE TO PAY.. OF COURSE THAT WOULD BE A LIE..  TRY AND GET THE RULING REVERSED..????????.  THEY NOW CAN LEGALLY HARRASS YOU FOR THE NEXT 3-5 YEARS, ON A DEBT THAT WAS LEGALLY A DEAD ISSUE...
DON'T SPEAK TO ANY OF THESE BOTTOM FEEDERS...  IT'S ALL A SCAM

One GREAT rule of thumb when dealing with anyone over the telephone....DO NOT EVER give out personal information such as a bank account number or Social Security number.
You can however ask for the individual's name (even if it is a desk name), the name and address of the company, and the nature of the debt.  IT IS YOUR RIGHT!!  
I always seem to get a hang up when I ask for the name of the individual calling, and have yet to successfully receive any information as to the name and address of the calling company.

What is that to lead you to believe????

This number is now blocked from calling me!

Calls every morning & then hangs up when I answer

Got a call and while i was running a search on the number i let the machine pickup, following is a "transcript" of the message :: this call is for mallory lake if this is not mallory lake please hang up or disconnect the call:: repeated until i picked up the phone and hit end (at least 10 times, i wanted to see how long it would run through the script)

Phone rang.  Picked it up, said hello. They hung up.

I agree with "notstupid". They will continue to call....no matter what you tell them! Been there! Done that!

I want this phone number blocked from my land phone 800-580-7611

This "legit" company you speak of relays a message that someone will be with you shortly and then disconnects you every single time. That's not legit. Furthermore... we are a business. This is unacceptable and incredibly unprofessional.

Loser!!!  I've called them back everytime and asked them to take my number off their registry.  It's not my debt, they are not calling for me and they can't seem to get it through their thick heads.  The next time it's the FCC for these [***]!!

This number calls everyday.  Then the person on the line is very ruide.  In addition private numbers do not apply to them.

"if you're interested in speaking to a representative regarding this call, please press 1. If you're not interested in speaking with a representative, we will disconnect at this time."

I'm pretty certain if I wanted to speak to a representative, I'd be the one making a call. I don't need recordings calling me to ask if I want to speak to a representative of their unknown company.
