I received a letter in the mail from this "company". The address on the outside of the envelope had a completely different address and state than what was listed on the inside for their address.It stated for me to call Mr. Lambert. I called and asked for this person and they put me on hold. When they took me off hold, the guy asked me for a series of numbers that were printed above my name, which I gave him. I was put on hold again and then was told that this "new" guys' name was Robert Martinez. It was the same guy, same voice as before. This letter was in reference to a debt that I and an ex boyfriend incurred as a result of terminating a rental lease a couple of months early. I had filed bankruptcy and included this debt in it. I told Mr. Martinez that I had filed and he said he knows I filed but this was not on it and I told him it was. He argued with me saying no it wasn't a couple different times, even saying that he had a copy of my bankruptcy in front of him. I stood my ground because I know for a fact that it was included in it. He finally said that I can tell it to the judge and hung up on me. I looked this company up online through the Better Business Bureau of Georgia and they are rated "F", which is the lowest rating a business can have. This debt is also almost 6 years old and the statute of limitations ran out after 5 years. If they continue trying to contact me, I'm going to contact the BBB of Georgia, Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Attorney Generals Office. That is what information I found out that I can pass along to you. They cannot threaten you in any way, such as to send people out to get you, put you in jail, etc. That is against the Fair Debt Collection Practices. I don't know if it is helpful, but it's a place to start. I do know that they are listed as a collection agency and this is what it says on several sites that they are a member of: "We are a national debt collection company providing collection services for thousands of clients across the country. We are bilingual and operate within all state and federal guidelines. We utilize the latest collection, credit reporting and skip tracing technology to achieve recovery rates significantly higher than the national average."

just filed a complaint with both the FTC and the Kansas Attorney General's Office.  

Mark Morales made several calls today to me, my son, my mother and my former employer leaving details of his alleged claim against me.

I returned his call only to hear his foul language and threats to take my personal belongings and then have him hang up on me.  I called back for a supervisor and that person did much of the same.  

The people at Russell, Reynolds & Ingram are NOT attorneys, nor do they have a legitimate legal department.  They do pull your credit report to see what assets you have and what other bills you have not paid and they will reveal all the little details.  They don't care to hear both sides of the story, they just want money and they will do or say anything to accomplish their goal.

If they have called you and harrassed or threatened you in any way, shape or form.  You need to file a complaint with the FTC and the AG's office.  Don't just let them slide by.  This company has already received one court order against them by the FTC.

I will also more than likely seek out an attorney to file against them for damages.  I haven't checked yet to see if there is another class action lawsuit against them.  Please don't let these types of people to get away with what they do.  Water may roll off your back, but think of other defenseless one's who may not be as strong, like the elderly or sick.

I for one, am tired of debt collectors not being regulated by the government.  I was a victim of ID theft over ten years ago and that still haunts me to this very day.  It's unrelated to this case but I still have debt collectors calling me about those debts that had police reports filed on them and were closed seeking additional payment.  When I tell them about the reports they want a copy.  Police departments normally don't hang onto these records that long and if they do, place them in cold storage.  Yet I still have to deal with removing them from my credit bureaus on a regular basis.  Anyone can place a claim on your credit report, they don't have to have proof.  It's about time that stops.

The person who has called from this number is rude and forceful threating people and throwing out racail comments about people who are truly disabled calling them liers, threating to take everything they own,making degrading and hurtful remarks. Has broke at least five of the laws in the faird dept collection act.

This company called me looking for someone who does not live here and I told them if they are a debt collector please do not call anymore . Mr duncan and later david clark told me I could not dictate who called me and that they would be sure to call everyday then called me a jerk
