833-647-1660

i just got a text message about some sort of refusal...and to call this number to resolve the matter..but I haven't applied for anything?

I got the same message as well.

They said my full name into a tax stating my account had been listed as a refusal and to call the number in the message to resolve the issue.

Got a text saying I am a refusal and my job would be notified?!?!

I received the same text, except it was addressed to someone else, when I tried to call and inform them they have the wrong number, I spoke to a man named James, who called me a liar, insulted and threatened me before hanging up on me.  I was peeved and called back he was extremely rude would not let me speak with is supervisor and gave me the info for a www.simmassociates.com saying that is who he worked for.  I went on their website and left a long, I am just hoping this is some kind of scam.

Well known criminal enterprise.  I don't know why you said "They wouldn't say"  when they clearly did tell you.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have 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):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

And the best one a lawsuit where Simm Associates committed fraud (who would have guessed a debt collector would do that):  https://dockets.justia.com/docket/minnesota/mndce/0:2009cv00798/105923/

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

They call me anywhere from 10 to 15 times a day, finally this morning I got a text from them saying that they sent documentation to an address I have never lived at, and my account was placed on hold, and for me to give them a call. I did give them a call they didn't know my name but they wanted a lot more information. So if my account was placed on hold then they would already have that information. There should have been no need to verify any thing of mine so when I advise them of that the guy hung up on me.

Did they actually send stuff to your work?

No, and if you had kept on reading you might have learned what you need to know about this scam.

text message
about me refusing to settle a debit and they are sending documents to my address and my employer too. i can call their risk department to settle this matter.
have no idea what this matter is

I got a txt that said they would send documentation to my home and work? When I called them they are so rude and yelling. They call my phone multiple times a day.
