800-735-7952

dont know who this number belongs too

This is the number of drs/BONDED, a collection agency

Left recorded message to call George Walker at this number. Left Ref.#M22770. No other details. On returning the call, somebody (not George) came on the line claiming that I had been referred by an individual I never heard of. When I asked what it was about I was told he couldn't discuss it. When I requested he remove my number from their list he said, "There is no list...Have a nice day." and hung up.
I'd suggest that anyone who reads this (and I hope that is in the thousands) should give the fine folks at 1-800-735-7952 a call. You can tell them I said, "Have a nice day."

Look like these are the lowest of the low.  Left a message for me only giving my first name, gave me a case number and asked that i call back.  You can find their contact information on their website www.drsbonded.com.  

If you are receiving harrassing calls, you can write them a cease and desist letter and ask that they provide you with written proof of the original debt within 10 days or that you will file a complaint with the FTC.

What if you do owe them? Can you tell them to stop calling you and you will take care of it as soon as you can. They call like every hour on the hour.Call my work my cell..She says this file will be sent back if you do not make a payment,etc. It's just going to go to another collection agency..

Frustrated..

This number belongs to DRS Bonded who will commit blatant FDCPA Violations, such as Third Party Disclosure (they called me looking for a female and stated "I can give you her social security number" and proceeded to give the SS# of someone I have never heard of).

George Walker telephoned me as well.

the owner of drs bonded donald d wood he home phone #513 ###1451 the manger is steven hand 272-48 its not nice to bug the repo man.ido the job that you and your do now go a way tell stephanie r hello

This is a collection agency on e. kemper road in cincinnati ohio more than likely from hospital bills not paid, so if you are a contact # for someone that was in the hospital the past year they might think your # is the ill persons # because your # was down as a contact for that ill person that wa in the hospital and they are not paying hospital bills, so there ya go. So tell them the sick persons #.

How could my name & phone number show up as a "Contact" name on someone I've never heard of?

It doesn't make sense.

this call was made this morning asking for my first name only and wanted me to call back ASAP at ext # 54432
but the thing is they called my grandma's house instead of mine house...wierd,I didnt call back ..I dont know who it is or WHY they're calling for??? oh the person said his name was Kevin Sim or Sims..

How are you for sure its just going to go to another collection agency? There are the possibilities of it being put into a court for a judgment then wage garnishments, property liens, etc. Why would you want to avoid the calls if you KNOW you owe it??? Thats stupid and very irresponsible. Its people like that who made our economy go to the dump. If people would pay their bills then the crap wouldnt be going on.

you jerk!!!!
i've always paid my bills - always had two jobs - now out of work for 13 months thanks so very much to the idiot obama and the bigger idiots who voted for him! when you've been there, you understand - never thought i would but i do now.  get off your arrogant high horse - maybe you shoud get a long dose of unemployment and try to live on eighty dollars a week and spend about nineteen hours a day looking for employment out there and on line. Idiot!!

I've just got a call from this company which is trying to collect a debt from Haiying Ma who shares the same initial of my first name and the entire last name of mine.

I received a call for my brother-in-law that doesn't even live here & then the guy asked where he worked & what the work # is & I said not able to give it out. Then asked where he works & said can't give the information out. Then asked for his cell # I told him I can't give it out & I will give him the message when I see him.  He said Well you need to call him & tell him to call me as I am trying to help him & you aren't willing to help me in contacting him.  I said well I'm sorry you are calling me and I have no information to share about him. So have a nice F****ing day....& then I called back to speak to his supervisor, Steven Hand, & all he said was well what did he say & then stated that all calls are taped & he will review the tape & speak to him regarding what happened in the call.....I also told him what I said & he said that is understandable but I will check into it & take the necessary actions in proceeding with discipline on the representative.  I told him that they need to contact my brother-in-laws debt management company & not me OR him as all calls are being referred to them now.....WHAT AN ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Federal Trade Commission Website – FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
    they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans’ Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members’ Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

I recieved a call from these baboons today, after a quick relay of the number the automated service ended the call, when I called back I got all kinds of attitude and told they were not violating any laws and then proceeded to threaten me.  Thanks for who ever started this thread, all I needed was a name to get my war path started.

DRS Bonded 800-735-7952 contacted me. Most likely  for a hospital debt owed by my recently deceased brother. If I get a chance to explain to them 'duh'  He's dead! and they continue to harass me they will find I do not like to be jerked around. Receivables Performance Management tried that act and I put the law firm Warren & Vullings LLP on thier BUTTS and within 4 days the calls stopped. I received calls from them for two years. If the calls are harassing or untrue find Warren & Vullings by doing an internet search. If they are violating the FDCPA rules then they are breaking the law. Warren and Vullings charges nothing (NOTHING) to the plaintiff. All fees are paid by the defendent. You can also, if the case warrants it, win money. Nice!!!!  If DRS Bonded continues to call and harass they will have a lawsuit presented to them by my favorite law firm. Good Luck.
