Oh my God i just set up a payment plan with them with my bank ard...am i screwed?

ok they started calling me....someone named Tracy Bea. I just gave them my bank card info...what do i do?

If you read the reply the first reply on this there is one part that is HIGHLY incorrect, other than that it is good advice.
The bad part is YES if you make a payment the statue of limitations DOES start over in some states. Be sure to check this out.
I was in court two weeks ago, Aug. 08 in the state of TN. And a man that was in court was told by the Judge that yes even though the statue had ran out, since he made a payment it now started all over. It starts all over each and every time.
If you have an old debt that you think may have outlived the statue of limitations. Find out if it has, if so do NOT pay them a dime.
However i would advise you to check into the statue of limitations laws in your state.
Also, if it has ran out why would you want to pay them anything? They can not place it on your credit report, if they do you can have it removed.

I received a letter from them too. It is a scam for sure. Dont waste your time with these cons. Don't send them proof that this debt (if any) was paid b/c they may use it against you for identity theft purposes. Caller was named Diego Rivera.

The staute of limitations is a maximum of 6 years, some states are less than that. The starting point for the statute of limitations is the date of first delinquency or missed payment. When dealing with any of these predatory agencies always check your credit report first. If a debt is no longer on your credit report (which goes back 7 years) the debt has passed the statute of limitations in all states.
I have had to deal with a couple of these agencies for debt from 15 years ago that was my ex-wife's. The best way to deal with an agency that practices dead-debt collection is to send them a letter stating that the debt has passed the staute of limitations and that any attempt to collect the debt on their part will have to pursued without assistance from the court system. Remember that when a debt passes the staute of limitations that the only debt collection remedy removed is the collectors use of the court system to collect the debt. As long as they follow the collection laws in your state they have every right to try to collect any debt, no matter how old it is. Essentially, once the statute of limitations passes and the agency knows (from your letter) that you know they can not successfully use the courts to collect, (they have every right to take you to court, they just can't win if you have proof that the SOL has expired) they will cross you off their list as they know the threats they use to sue and garnish wages will not work on you.
If you do a search on the web you should be able to find a boilerplate for a letter that notifies the credit collector that the statute of limitations has passed. start with fair-debt-collection.com

Got the same call today, message only. Called from 815-758-1111, x 113, Miles. Just said call ASAP. I called, just a recording, said leave a message. I thought it was a scam. I have a credit score of 816 so I do not think I am overdue on anything! Boy, glad I saw all these memos about these dirtbag company!

I happen to know a lot about this company, hint hint.  Doors will be closing soon, they cant pay their people if you don't pay them.  So in other words DONT PAY THEM.  2 guys own this business and I have heard that neither one has been able to recieve a paycheck in the last few month.s

I got a call along time ago from these same idiots. I asked them what debt. I said prove. They said we will send you a letter and 2 weeks no letter. They call me again, I said you have not sent me any proof. I sais send me an email, oh we can't send it because we just sent the letter and cannot send another. Well after ripping that idiot a new one. I thought I was done (BTW this is a 10 year old CC with a $1000.oo charge-off that was settled) So i have recieved since then the usual letters with e $4000 in intereset and as usual toss them. Now Dec. 22 I applied for a Bank Card from Barclays for my Direct TV. I get a call this is Theresa with Barclays regarding your card. So I call back and they basically lie and did not Identify themseleves. I thought well maybe Barclays bought the CC bank company. So I gave them my card # to charge me $50 a month. After I hung up I realized I have been scammed, called back and raised wholly hell and warned them about the statute of limitaions and misrepresentation etc and stated if they charged my card I would sue them. It is obvious they somehow moniter your Credit reort for inquiries is this even legal to have that kind of access>

The number on my caller ID was 815-758-1111 Dekalk County Solutions. I didnt answer the phone. Lee Stern left a message saying it was important that we return his call. He didnt say who the message was for and three people live in my home.The number he left to call back was 877-688-8288 ext. 113. He didnt say why he was calling or give a company name where he was calling from. I thought it was kind of fishy. This is when I looked up this sight and glad I did. I am going to assume it was a debt collector only from what is written on this web sight. My credit report has nothing on it.I guess you can say they arent going to scam me,thanks to this website.

I have been living outside of the U.S. for nearly 8yrs.. These people somehow got hold of my mother's phone number and said they had an Urgent Business Deal they needed to discuss with me at my earliest opportunity. When asked what this was pertaining to, the caller Tony Rogers, would give no information and tried to use strong-arm tactics to obtain information on me! After reading an article from other collection agencies and several(un-mentioned)goverment representatives. I have found this agency to be highly suspect and not even sanctioned to make collections that are over the statue of limitations! DO NOT BE BULLIED BY THIS, OR ANY OTHER, AGENCY MAKING THREATS OF ANY KIND!! Instead, contact your nearest law enforcement agency(police, FBI, whomever) and report them for harrassment, illegal mobile phone usage, and giving false information regarding bill payment or debt consolidations! They're crooks and shouldn't be allowed to bother anyone!! Tell them you've handed their information over to the necessary authorities and have them blocked from your phone. To be blunt...THEY S*CK!!

I received a call today both on cell and work from a 'TRACY'.  since the first call came in on my cell #, she had left a message saying she was calling from my BANK (which happens to be my mortgage company).  since i found that to be a little strange, i did a reverse lookup and sure enough, it is this group of people.  has anyone resolved this issue.

they told me too that they were calling from my bank.  i told her that she is NOT calling from my bank.  i am reporting this to my bank tomorrow.  i called her a liar after telling her not to callmy place of employoment,as she threatned to call my office manager.  i dont understand why these people are doing this and how they get away wtih it

Dated a guy that works at Dekalb Co Solutions  Its all old debt, too old for legitimate collections agencies too handle.  They buy your debt for pennies on the dollar and make a fortune collecting. Dont pay, tell them they have the wrong number. Lee Stern is an aka that the computer spits out.  Entire company made up of convicts.  Dont pay!!!

i also was a victim of dcsi ..they called me jan 27th-2009 the lady name was tracey at 847-688-8288 ext 127 very nasty talking woman she was acking me all type of question trying to make me tell her my address and work work number and bank account information but when i was being a smart ass right with her and not giving her my current info she then said its okay we can get all that information. the call was very scarey until i found this site. lets all stand togehter and bring the company down.

we got a call from the very same company, and man were they rude. i wnt through all the stps and called the company they supposedly bought the delinquent acct from and they told e to ignore them an do a credit report on my father in law. i did and it is clear. there isn't anything from the company they claim and i called and told them that they were ticked when i asked for a supervisor and they hung up once. another time i spoke with them the girl "claimed" to be the supervisor. i'm not stupid i used to work for collection agencies the sup doesn't answer basic calls til they ae asked for....duh! send no money. just tell them flat out you refuse to pay they'll leave you alone...or in their words "I'll make a note of it in your acct."

Call from Dekal Country Solutions at my job claiming to offer a discount and wants the discounted amount now. He got rude and hung up on me after I told him I did not have that kind of money just laying around.
His used the name Tony Rodgers, at ext 117 phone number 877-688-8288.

I feel like calling them back just to vent on them when i can talk out in the open away from my job.

I get 3 to 4 calls a day at the office, my cell phone, and at home from these people. I just moved back to the US after living out of the country for a few years. These people are a joke!

I received a phone call from "Mr. Brown" & surprisingly enough, I got the same guy when I called back.  I guess they don't hide their phone number.  I know I don't accept unlisted numbers on my cell phone.  Anyways, he did have a lot of old information.  He said that he was collecting on an old AT&T bill from 2003, but he couldn't identify the phone number.  He had all kinds of addresses for me all over the U.S. I didn't give him any new information.  I told him to email me a letter & when I did get it, I checked really quickly online.  I am glad I did.  I also looked up reverse phone on different phone number used, all came back different, one was just a household. 815-758-1111,5555,8119.  Thanks for posting this info.

Yesterday I had a guy identifying himself as Robert Martinez calling me about a  Dell Account that has been in collections since like 2001.  He was saying the balance with interest is over $6000 but the original finance amount was around $2400.  He told me if I did not settle the account he would have his company put an alert on this particular debt telling me if I either tried to establish credit or get a job they would pull my credit and this one bill would hold up everything.

I got a letter in the mail saying I owed a debt from 20 years ago and they would clear it off my credit record for a third of the cost . and that when I called them to let them know I knew it was a uncolectible debt they agreed it was past the statue of limitations but that they had mad a inquirie of my credit report and it would stay on my credit report till I died or paid the debt and it would affect my credit report . I got pissed and told him in my state I beleaved it was ileagle and I wanted them to prove I owed it . He said fine to send a letter but they would then just sell it to another collection service who would do the same thing and have a credit inquirie show up and credit companies would call them to find out about the debt . I am writing this to let people know this is a scam and the credit inquirie thing with no recourse should be illeagle as far as I am concerned as I never aplyied for credit from them or anyone they repusent .
Has anyone else had this happen ?
