888-291-6973

they called me and said that I owed the gov. and when you call back its busy

dont know who this is wont say who they are they are very annoying though does anyone no who this is

they called me and said they were a mediator w/ the court system. left a vary threatening message.  does anyone know who this si?

They've called me twice.  They said I haven't responded and they are taking "next steps".  This is the number they give me, but they always call on a "restricted" number.  Is there someone out there who knows whether or not they have any credibility?  I don't even know what I'm supposed to respond to.  I haven't received anything!!

They called my job and left a message with the clerk saying that I needed to call them back immediately and that they are investigating check/credit fraud.  This is the information that they left with the clerk.  When I called the number, they said that they are a firm who networks with attorneys and pre-legal services and that they needed me to identify myself, I asked who they were and they would not give me any information.  If they are legitimate, they would give you their name and information.  I don't have a checking account so I don't know what they are talking about.  At any rate, it is making me look rediculous at my job.  I am contacting an attorney Monday morning.  I will keep you updated about these people, whoever they are.

rec'd a message from a jennifer with the fraud division at ccr about a case where someone I knew had used my name as a reference, and they needed to speak with me, she left this number 1888-291-6973 ext 540, I called back and was able to speak with her, but she sounded very suspicious, told me that this person who used my name owed some money and they were going to take this person to court, I asked why would they call me?  The said that they just wanted some more information and that someone else would be calling me, never got that call.  Not sure how they connected me with this person, because this person never used me as a reference.  I'm thinking that they used information taken from myspace or facebook and got my number from the internet, very easy to do.  Anyway as I said, I have not heard back from them, nor has the person to whom they supposedly referring to.

They called me and identified themselves as a fraud department with a payday loan i supposedly defaulted on.I hung up on them and the called me back right away and told me i would be picked up at 800 am at work tomorrow.

so far they just tried to reach me today. i was sleeping and they asked my daughter if she knew how to get in touch with me. they left their information and even a doc # and to let me know that i needed to call them back before they went to the county.will keep updates

Why would you leave your contact information on myspace of all places??  That's so stupid!  Is your profile private at least?

This number was left with my son.  I called back and they told me my SSN was flagged due to a bad check.  My brother is a lawyer.  I had him look into it and everything they told me was true.  He setup for me to take care of it through these people and said they were very straight forward.  They even faxed him everything in writing.

There is a manager where I live and the manager phoned me today saying a "Mr Black" phoned trying to find my phone number. He refused to give it out, but got their name, a case # and their phone number. When I returned the phone call, the operater said the person was busy and tried to get my phone number. When I said this was harrasment and would turn in complaint against them to our State Attorney General... she denied harrasment and when I said "what do you think it is when you call the manager of my physical address and make me look bad" she said "you mean they called your apartment manager?" and then she hung up.

BTW... the likely fictious "Mr Black" wasn't even looking for me- was looking for a name of someone I've never heard of. This was a harrasment phone call designed to insure a call back solely because of illigitmacy of the original call. For example if your parents or boss or manager where you live gets a call wanting information on how to reach you, it will often reflect negatively on your character. These people will either be able to obtain your private information from those people OR they'll tick you off enought that you'll call them back yourself. You should refuse providing confidential information and instead, phone your State Attorney General with a complaint.

i received a call saying to call them back at 888-291-6973. i have been reading all the posts and some say that they called and it was just a collection agency. Do anyone know if this is true? are they just a collection agency? i know i have some pay day loans that i didn't apply for that i have been fighting out there so it does make me nervous that it might be legit. can anyone help me?

well i will tell u this people... they call because its just a another place that has bought the debt.. u owe the money just like i or anyone else... its not fake.

I received a call from CCR Associates a month back and spoke with a Amy.  She told me I needed to resolve a issue from a defaulted payday loan.  I made the arrangements, but the withdrawal did not go through.  Amy called me back and demanded the money be paid immediately or a subpoena would be sent.  Two weeks later another caller called me and he was much nicer and stated Amy handled the call incorrectly and they want to help me pay my debt.  What was suspicious was that they still had my credit card # still on file?  He stated he was with the Philadelphia Court System.  I made another arrangement and they did the withdrawal on the wrong debt.  I am going to contact the people I was defaulted with and see if my account was sold.

i was contacted by the same people... i talked it over with my atty and thank god i listened to them cause my atty said that since this it was a secured loan they do have the right to persue me legally thru assets or payroll... if i were u listen to them cuz it saved me hundreds!!! and not on my car insurance!

they are real but not organized.  Should I request paperwork from them??????

i got a call from this number the other day and so i contacted a family member that is an atty... he said he would look into it before i paid them any money... he got back to me the next day and said yes this is a real place not a scam.. and that i should do whats right providing the bill was not already paid with the orig client.. i looked into my records and what do ya know.. i didnt pay it.. so i set up a plan with them...  they offered me a nice settlement also... saved me about 200.00..

its real. they sent my e-mailed proof i owed the money to them seeing as my pay day loan i never paid back was sold to this company ccr! so yeah if u never paid the loan.. u can safely pay your bill with them as long as you didnt already pay it with the pay day loan company! also i will tell u people you need to keep better record of your bills.. i have heard people paying these things 8 times the amount but they were only paying finance charges the whole time! so then your still stuck with a bill which then gets turned over to a diff company. and trying to explain that to them is hard because to the world you still owe the bill and its true but seeing as you paid so much already u feel you dont owe it but thats how these loans work.. DONT TAKE OUT PAYDAY LOANS!!!!!! if your have something to worry about it should be the loan agreements your contracted to and not the company you owe it to!!!

The fact is, check and credit reporting is a collection agency, but to most of these stellar citizens up here, that want to get annoyed by the fact there getting calls on old bills  they NEVER paid. Every piece of debt owned and acted on by check and credit reporting is valid, if applicable they will pursue you legally. It's really funny to me, for some of these people above that want to claim "calling me on a bill that was long taken care of", you mean long forgotten about, or a bill i didnt have the means to take care of. The character of people (of course not all, bad things do happen to good people) called by check and credit reporting is clear, THEY'RE DEBTORS, they dont like the fact they might have to PAY on what they OWE!!!!  Please just pay your creditors DEBTORS. The world would be a better place
