They say I owe money

I work at a gym and this "company" got a hold of one of our member's information and sent them a letter claiming they owed us over $1500.  They had in fact settled their overdue balance with us months ago.  I'm thinking that these scammers have some way to get into the third party collection companies that people get put in once their accounts go a few weeks overdue.

Might want to go check your computer there

Collection companies sell information to other criminal collection companies.  Doesn't matter if the account is paid or not.

Just some of the many lawsuits against them.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

This swift funds, Swift funding, or what any other aliases they go by  are crocks, rude, manipulative jerks. Like many on here have stated they contacted them over a gym membership demanding money. Well just let me tell you these people actually got away with putting this on my credit. Almost $1400 on my credit how can a company that doesn't even give a real address or any info for that matter be able to report to you credit. Thank goodness I contacted TransUnion with my dispute they immediately took the account off my credit report. These people need to be stopped they still call me daily trying to get money I'm so tried of it. Please do as others have recommended report them to the bbb, the FTC, rippedoff.com, consumer report, and any where else you think might save people from being scammed by these horrible people.

I forgot to mention the letter they sent me looks like it was typed  on word by a 10 year old. Let me tell you how legal that looked. Bogus!

I do not own a gym membership nor have I ever owned a membership. I don't owe anyone any money nor have I ever owed anyone any money I haven't paid. they keep calling and when I answer its just a robot telling me to call them back and that they are looking for a mister Fernando... I don't know what there talking about and I'm sick of getting their calls.

Then using the information I have already posted (which I hope you at least took the time to read), this is what you must do:

You need to send them a certified, return receipt  "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

This number 888-479-4384 called, left no message. Just don't answer. Unavailable is ID.

This is a debt collector. They call once or twice a week. They tell you they are not a solicitor but it's important that you call. This has been going on for a few months. I am debt free

I received a call from a Carlos at Swift Funds Financial Services. He said I owe $126.14 to my gym membership. He wanted to know if I could pay today. I told him I would pay Friday. I'm going to the gym to make sure that I don't owe anything. He was very rude. I told him I didn't want to give him my address or phone number. Unfortunately he has my parents number and address so they have been calling and harassing my parents.

He left no message. He is working the phones.Dont answer.

An unwanted solicitation

constant calls with no id. given.

This group, specializes in collection for fitness groups.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.
