Keep us aware of the class action suit. I want to put in my two cents. They are very unproffessional.

I agree with every word. Keep us apprised of this situation. I will call the attorney general in my state or California or both. They need to be audited at the very least. I'll bet 99% of the people working there are not qualified or licensed.

harasment threats and vulgar langage do not want the callingmy home or be afiliated with me

Dealt with Wayne Brown tonight BEFORE checking anything and paid $500 over the phone.  I am supposed to pay $1700 more tomorrow.  I called the bank, but they can't stop a check card payment anymore but they will cancel my card and issue a new one.  I filed a complaint with the FTC, but want to know if there is a class action law suit in progress or what chance I have of getting my money back.  The debt was opened 10 years ago and has been inactive for almost 6, so I'm sure I screwed up the whole statue of limitations now.  Any help is appreciated.

Do not owe anyone anything~ I am debt free and have been for many years.
much more of this and I am filing a law suit.jerks!

Mr Durbin continually calls our number looking for our daughter.  We filed a report with the local police but they can't do anything.  Now he is calling her work number and threatening to show up there with a summons.  She has very limited resources.  This is over a debt to an apt. complex that she tried to clear up over 10 years ago.

They are misrepresenting themselves as attorneys and using credit report information to extort money from people over the phone. It's called wire fraud and if you have been contacted by them visit www.wwr-associates.com for more information on pending and previous civil court cases and a pending Federal wire fraud investigation.

Do not pay these people even one penny !!!!!  If you do you will start the Statute of Limitations over and they may try to sue you. I repeat !!!!!  Do not acknowledge this debt and do not pay them anything !!!!!!!!!!!

he called my brother to find my address

Well, they are up to it again!  I must be the latest victim.  Dana Koprowski, Don Terry, Scott Cass.  Stated I owe a bill to citibank which has never been reported on my credit report, they don't have any record of me, and now threating my my family, property, etc.  WATCH OUT!!

they harras harass harass! how do they get away with this? asked them for prof of debt and they refused to send prof and said they were well past that point and wanted paid. they threatened arrest and garnishment! he was belittling me when i asked again for prof. how can i get them? checked my credit report and nothing matched up with what they said i owed. they have to be scam artists.

know the feeling,they keep calling my job also,they talked to my manager and human resource..they are rude people..tell them not to call me at work but they dont listen...they conradite themselves all the time.   they are a bunch of idiots...

I GOT A CALL FROM THIS DAN DURBIN,WHO SAID THE SAME THING HE WAS A LAWYER,AND HE WAS SERVING ME WITH PAPERS,HE WAS VERY RUDE/AND DISRESPECTFUL''IT SEEMS LIKE THEIR SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THESES PEOPLE'''''DEBT COLLECTORS#866-897-9058'''''DAN DURBIN''''ANY SUGGESTIONS

so these guys called my sick parents last night who live 1600 miles away threatening to have the cops serve them on my behalf because they can't find me.  She refused to give them any info. when I called them today they said, "I see you live at..."  I asked them why they were harassing my sick parents when they obviously have my address in front of them, so the excuse they couldn't get a hold of me is bull.  After I told Dan Durbin I'm an unemployed FT student and have nothing to pay him he hung up saying I will be sued. A couple hours later Michael Peters called me stating "Dan can be kind of aggressive, I just wanna try to work something out with you before this moves forward" and he again attempted to settle for some amount with me. I again said I have no income and this is a 3 y/o debt.  I told him I wanted something in writing as I have no formal documentation to legitimize their claims or their company.  He said he could email me. when I got the email it said the balance owed on my credit card was almost 3k more than the actual balance when the card was written off by the creditor.  So they're running a scam here. I've read a lot on different websites about these guys and what their doing is illegal.  They threatened to sue me for 12k on a 5k debt stating court costs.  I'm done dealing w/ these bozos, and have filed a complaint with the BBB and I suggest you all do the same. good luck to you all.

I have also been a victim of this company, I like many others have struggled to make payments on bad debt. Until recently I have not been paying any of my unpaid debt, I have made payment arrangements with 2 other collection companies, so when i got the phone call from this 714 # , I assumed that they would be willing to work with me also...boy was I wrong, I stupidly told the man on the phone where I work, and the name of the bank that I bank with. DUMB, I know!!  He was kinda nice at first, yes very gruff but not rude. When I explained to him that I could only make 25.00 per month payments, he turned into TRASH!! He told me he would not take payments.He said everything I have been reading on here, that he was going to garnish my wages, and be taking me to court, he even went as far to look up the vice president of my company and called him!! He told me that he was gonna garnish 400.00 per month from me, I told him with that type of garnishment I would have to quit my job, as I'm a single mother who only works part time, there is no way way I can afford to pay 400.00 per month. He said I was a welfare mom and so on, blah,blah blah. I just cant beleive this company is still able to be in business, I guess that debt will never go off my credit report. Thank goodness for all these comments, I'm glad I was able to at least get their address from here,  I will def be sending a c&d letter asap!! There is no way I will pay this company a dime, I have called my original creditor and they can't do anything, from this point on I will be keeping a journal of any contact this company has with me or my place of business! Just in case they do decide to persue this matter, I truely beleive that they would be laughed right out of court!!

Thank you so much for all the info, geesh, these people are a MESS!!

Like many of you I'm going through the same thing. it's for a credit card my wife had and they say that she owes twice the amount that was on the card. He had her Credit Report on the screen while he was talking to me, and claimed that interest had added to the debt. When I looked up the Fairness Debt collections act, I found that not only did they violate damn near everything in the ACT, but also you can't add interest once the original company closes the account. He also claimed that they would sue me and take me to the county small claims court for not paying it. They were extremely rude, and half the time didn't even get my info they claimed to have right. These people are a menace and DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING. also in the ACT they can't sue you with out written documentation mailed to you, and even if they do you have 30days according to the ACT to rectify it. It's a SCAM don't let them scare you. you have a LEGAL RIGHT to tell them to stop calling and only converse with you through email or letters. Also they told me that i could write a post dated check for over 2 weeks, but in the ACT it's states you can only write a post dated check for no more than 5 days. and he wanted my bank info and the ACT also says they can't request that info legally. He also threaten to take my wifes car loan away, and said he credit card debt affected that. Again according to the ACT they can not try to use your property as collateral as my wifes car is financed with a binding contract with another loan company, it's illegal for them to do that according to the ACT. He told me he can't mail me proof of the debt, but email. gave him my email and he never emailed me anything. DO NOT CONVERSE WITH THESE PEOPLE CALL A LAWYER!!!

Do what I did. Look up the Fairness Debt collections ACT. it gives you your rights and the things a TRUE collection company has to follow and there Do's and Dont's. it really opened my eyes. good luck to you.

he said all those things to me too. he told me that they have sent me tons of letters to 3 different addresses as i've moved 3 times. i've gotten nothing at my current address, he said i was purposefully trying to be a dead beat and not pay my bills...i know how you feel they are a scam!

Received numerous calls from this company over the past few months. They deceptively use alternating area codes and phone numbers to disguise their identity on caller ID. They sometimes use a prerecord voice message via an IVR asking for you to "retrieve this message" by calling 949-812-4680, not supplying an 800 # as FDCPA requires. They leave voice messages and call with no messages multiple times on the same day, also an FDCPA violation. They do not identify themselves on the recordings or even when you call them, which again is another FDCPA violation. They also block their number when calling as unknown, and a feminine sounding man requests a call back referencing your property address, saying he (or she) has a question about the property address, deceptively alluding to other reasons for the call to prompt you to return the call. This company has never mailed a letter to me to identify the purpose of their contact, which again is an FDCPA violation. The FDCPA requires the agency to send a Debt Validation Notice to the consumer within 5 days after contact. The Validation Notice provides the consumer with information pertaining to the contact, who is contacting you and why, and provides the consumer with their rights to dispute the validity of any debt, etc. This notice (or any other notice) was never sent to me.

I called this company back and spoke with a man who had a heavy Hispanic accent, who was very rude and over talked me. He refused to identify the company or the reason for the calls, laughed and hung up on me. Not even an hour after my contact with this man my wife and I started receiving calls as if we were calling each other. I called our phone company and they confirmed we were victims of "Spoofing". It is a terrible coincidence that right after I called and spoke with this company my wife and I started receiving such calls; especially when this company calls us repeatedly using fictitious numbers that they program into their software in an effort to misrepresent themselves to get you to answer the phone.

I also mailed them a certified letter demanding that they Cease and Desist to the address listed and it came back rejected. I called and spoke with the post office in that city zip code and the carrier confirmed that the company in question "refuses to accept certified mail". This is just another example of their deceptive practices.

I have filed a complaint with the FTC, Attorney General, and other regulatory agencies. I URGE all of you to file such complaints with regulatory agencies so they will investigate this entity and bring them to justice. There is strength in numbers and we ALL need to fight back!
