8773229724

Forgot to say that yes I gave them my card info over the phone and the woman explained that the only way to pay it off is through the phone. They also have a website that you can look more into but there is no account or anything. They asked for my card info but not the last three numbers on the back of my card. Only the number and expiration date. Hope this helps to clear up any of the concerns I’ve been seeing through some of the other messages.

Posts going back to 2012 about this outfit that seems to collect both real and phony debts using threats, intimidation and lies. And you are shilling for them as being "Legit" "Kind" and "Considerate"? Makes no real sense. Love how you work in some "pay yor billz" shilling as well.

SCAMMED BY T-MOBILE

877-322-9724 IS THE NUMBER USED BY AMSHER DEBT COLLECTION AGENTS. THEY USE INTIMIDATION, OVER-TALKING, STONEWALLING, TO TRY TO GET MONEY ON A DEBT THAT MAY NOT EVEN EXIST.  MOSTLY USED BY T-MOBILE TO COLLECT UNSUBSTATIATED DEBTS.

-- So how is it your experience was so good? Much of your story seems thin on coherence, but you are clear minded enough to make SURE we know that Amsher is "Legit".

I am about 75% sure you are shill sent here to post, if not, you should be getting paid for what amounts to a rave review of what looks like questionable practices in debt collection based on 100+ posts over 10 years.

AmSher drags a long complaint tail, known for chasing time-barred and already paid junk debt accounts. The place also seems to breed bonus-hungry drama queens who will say almost anything reckless to close a settlement offer within one ambush phone call. Multiple complaints both recent and historic describe the reps clutching their pearls and acting belligerent at even polite objections. They are also known to torture people with anywhere from three to a dozen daily calls and won't relent from beating at dead ends such as wrong numbers and invalid debts.

From this fertile soil springs innumerable violations of FDCPA and FCRA, and Grateful Victim stories like yours in blanket response to all complaints. The reasonable person "blindsided" by surprise debt -- racked up by a relative, no less -- would not equate rapid "get it over with" [sic] payment with personal responsibility. That person would want answers; the law grants the time and means to seek them. The best thing to do and what strangers on the phone want don't often match.

Of course, your criteria for legitimacy begins with an efficient payment process and ends upon its notice by a predatory third party which is itself a repeat offender of the FTC Act. You'd wish us all to be so naive to accept that "the only way to pay it off is through the phone". More like the only way for AmSher reps to claim a commission. The chance that you'll pay liars is but one reason to make friends with the laws those liars are ignoring.

There are so many holes in your story it would make a piece of Swiss cheese green with envy.  Tell your bosses at Amsher that we will continue to advise people to both report and even more importantly sue them into oblivion.

I see more indignant posts from the shill were removed. The reply directed to me was all about how it is standard for DC's to ask for a SS#, so that made the calls "legit". Interesting since my post did not mention SS#s.

I guess this is a sore point with Amsher, they must have caught some flak by using SS#s as part of the threat spiel. Makes sense added with the info you came up with. The bit about "only pay off through the phone" has to be BS. No DC will turn down money just because it comes in the mail.

Our new playmate perhaps works from a very short talking points memo. Our reframing of the hazards of engagement, away from the surface details of a collector's talkoff, is simply not listed. Error ... Does not compute. No shill likes to lose control of the narrative.

A frequent element of AmSher complaints is their handling of Disclosure Chicken. I gather the reps demand SSN or DoB right after "hello", which naturally chafes a wary call recipient. That awkward gauntlet of consumer authentication has been industry practice for a generation, inspired by the Paul Foti case which I've been name-dropping almost as long. AmSher's history of casual abuse of the skip tracing privilege is not helping its defense.

It's also been broad practice to tiptoe around the privacy versus identity conflict while tromping in muddy boots through the remainder of the FDCPA's principles. Obeying a narrow doctrine of Anus Protectus does confer legitimacy and would not cause me to relax my guard.

Among several edifying reports to the triple-B profile is about a woman accepting an AmSher call while traveling a highway to some appointment. The rep badgered her to park on a shoulder and immediately "take care of" the "business matter". She relayed her politely sincere effort to simply continue engaging later, say when she wasn't surrounded by six lanes of traffic and probably occupied by thoughts of her primary mission. The agent resisted and made some NOYB inquiries to find the seams in her objection.

With modest effort I could write up a violation count regarding the lady's right to convenient contact extending to her right to terminate an interfering call. Point being, anyway, the debt collector and the sales agent share a similar tool kit and a desire to close the deal hurriedly. That drive is informing our shill's concerns, I sense.

You state "my debts were accumulated by my sister on my account" but you don't explain why you ignored all the bills you received about those debts. It was your account so you would have gotten the bill; how could you have been "blindsided by the debt"?

Calls several times per week asking for a person I've never heard of. I believe it's a debt collector or financial scam.

Me also. I have no debt, thank God, so clearly a scammer

They keep calling my business for a person that hasn't worked for the company for more than 20 years. I keep telling them that and they keep calling like the person will miraculously just show up again some day. Not too smart.

This # call me today about a debt collection from T-Mobile I think this people  are scam, I said I don’t owe nothing to T-Mobile and why they are messing with my credit they said this didn’t affect my credit, so I got them there, if company send you to collection of course affect your credit, right? Don’t pay a penny to this scammers.

Just called me. I don't answer on that phone because virtually none of my friends even know that number. I don't even have it memorized. I've seen lots of missed calls with no message left. Gotta be a scammer, cuz I don't owe anyone.

Rude people.  Wanted personal information but would not identify the nature of their call.  I do not give out info to people who do not identify themselves and the nature of their call!!!!

Same. I tried asking what i owe and they just keeping calling asking i dont understand i dont owe anythinggg

Calls 3 times a week. I owe nothing.
