I am so sorry for you and that your wife would fall under his trap, he did the sam ething to me 15 years ago.

my mother who is 80 yrs. old,in bad health is getting calls about a fee she has not paid due to the fact that the representive lied to her about the service. we call it in with amonth after finding out. we ask the company we did not want their servuce due to the fact they missrepresented their service. after 7 months my mother is getting calls from this number by an individual by the name of ramon lopez. he has been so rude with my mother. he has hollered,screamed @her,threaten to place a lien on her house. please need answers.thak you

i REC'D A MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE TO CALL THE 18664004550 ext 2243 for Patty.  She stated in the message my mother had given my name and number to talk to them.  My mother is 75 yrs. old,had services from aa ALARM SYSTEM that the representive lied to her about the service not bothering to tell her it was a cpntrcat.  We called several mts ago to cancel it explaining she was older and could not afford the service.  We told the company we did not want their servuce due to the fact they missrepresented their service.  We feel they are taking advantage of the elderly.  I did retunr the call to Patty at ext 2243 asking her not to call my cell phone nor to leave messages.  She was rude, snotty and yelled into the phone. Not only are they harrassing eldely people but now they are harrassing people who have nothing to do with their misrepresented business.  Can't something be done to get rid os nasty rude, people that do not belong on a telephone period, let alone mistreating older defenseless people.

The CEO of Anderson Crenshaw is Tom Backal. His personal cell number is 214-869-0516 and his home address is 1909 Tampico Drive, Plano TX. He has been sending his nude photos to my wife via this number. He's a real scumbag

This number called my CELL phone, when I called back to asked them why they called, they said they were calling for my husband and could only speak to him. I tried to tell them to erase MY cell phone number but before I could, was hung up on by their representive. I called back, and the person was very rude! After reading some of these, I wonder what scam they are trying to pull.

I recieved a call from a mr. Lee from this number and when i told him that there was no one here by the name that he was requesting. he got rude with me so i hung up! he then called back and said that he was my superior and how dare i hand up on him and that some female is not going to treat him that way, because he was so superior to me i hung up on him again. very frustrating. the place is called anderson crenshaw and associates the address is 6116 n. central exspressway suite 1090 dallas tx. hope that it helps!!!!!

I've gotten these calls regarding debt that was not mine and debt that was my daughter's. I simply enter their numbers in my caller ID as "DO NOT ANSWER" so I know not to answer the call. I can guarantee you am more persistent than they.

They called me in the sometime ago about a $85 debt that i had paid off a year ago and insisted that i make the payment with them or my credit score will fell drastically. now they called me again and i searched for the incoming number,,, they are scammers.

p.s.shut the F up Nikki.

I got a call from this number (12142619281) and hris Lord left VM with name and callback number 866 400 3550 x2219. Its weird to demand someone to callback without even telling who you are or why you called. Anyhow i looked up the incoming number and saw this site. I add my number to the do-not-call-list. and will either ignore or mute their calls. thanks y'all for saving me the tension.

I get these calls ALL day, every day, and they either leave vague messages or if I answer, they are rude.  I do not owe any debts, I don't have a clue what they are talking about, yet the harassment continues.  I don't even live in Texas, who ARE these people?  "Nikki", you can kiss it because there is no "spirit of cooperation" with you people and I refuse to pay you three grand for a security system I never owned.  I have a very large dog & a gun, that's all the security I need, and it's paid for IN FULL!!

I have received several harrasing calls from this collection agency. I've told them many times that the debt they are trying to collect is illegitimate and I've asked them to stop calling me. I will file a complaint against, but first I wanted to leave a written record of the bad treatment that these people give their customers. Companies like this one need to be shut down!

I received a phone call from this number and they said they were an attorney office. Crystal said she was
calling to collect a debt and I told her that were  disabled and my husband was laid off . She insulted my
intelligence and told us that we didn't pay any of our bills and said it many times . then she asked if she
stutter and I said  what are you talking about . Insults and insults . needless to said they are representing
for platinum plus security systems.  my health is not good and  if felt like going to the hospital because
of the oppession of this company. it is a collection agency and not a lawyers firm. just hang up if you
receive a call from

I got a phone call today and my husband hung up on them the first time.  I answered and spoke with them for about 20 min.  I asked for names, phone numbers, address, acct number, itemized list for the amount owed, and so on.  They dodged every question.  I just asked over and over and eventually they hung up on me.  So I called them back, this happened 4 or 5 times.  I finally got my information and told them that I would be calling the cops.  I didnt even think about the AG (but going to contact).  I went to the cops and I was informed that they can be issued a ticket.  Its a class c misdemeador, so a ticket, but its a ticket.  I just changed my phone number.  Oh and after I called them back over and over I didnt get a call back at all, but it was only 5 hours until the new phone number.

Hi Nikki, Tell Andee that "Deadbeat" wishes her a Merry Christmas and wants to know what she's wearing.
Deadbeat is one of the nicer names she (Andee) has called me.

This witch keeps calling me for a debt that I don't owe and still REFUSES to send me anything in the mail confiring this so called debt.

So I'm fighting back.

It's become a game. She calls and attempts to insult me by calling me names and then I ask her what she's wearing then she hets all flustered and yells that I can't talk to her like that. That's when I remind her that she called me and then she hangs up frustrated.

I received a call today on my work cell phone from this number. The called claimed that I owed an alarm company $1,400. Caller was somewhat rude and threatened to damage my credit if I did not make payment immediately. He said that a demand to pay was sent to a rental property address that I owned. Why would I set up a legal contract and not provide my correct mailing address? I am filing a complaint with the FTC and putting a fraud alert on my credit reports.

Jared you are a joke.  I work for a law firm and we are presently gearing up to file 10 Fair Debt an Collection Acts against your firm.  You need to teach your employees the correct and LEGAL way to collect on a debt.  Hope you firm enjoys paying out $1000's of dollars to our firm...... We will be enjoying!!

Nikki......I think you should stop protecting a company that is clearly UNPROFESSIONAL and ARRASS PEOPLE AROUND....I hope the class action lawsuit against you would give some relief to the people that you arrass daily

Very unprofessional firm.......Very rude and when I told them they have the wrong phone number, they insist that I am wrong and they are right...I will use a lawyer to sue them for this issue....This is pure ARRASSMENT.......

I have been getting calls from this number for months now.  Since they call my cell phone, I just had the number blocked.  Do all of you know that your old debts can get sold to 3rd party debt collectors who buy your debts for pennies on the dollar and any money they collect they keep?  ALso, these are the ruthless collectors that will tell you anything they need to tell you to get you to pay up.  They will tell you there is a warrant out for your arrest, you are going to have felony charges brought against you, etc etc.  I highly reccomend to all of you not to give them a penny unless you have verified that it is a legit debt collection with a legit company!  Also, keep in mind that the people making these calls are just punk a** telemarketer kids and no one of any real authority.

I received a call from (214) 261-9281 and did not get to it in time to answer. I called the number back and the rude customer service rep wanted me to give him all of my information such as first and last name, phone number, etc. I refused to give him this information since THEY CALLED ME in the first place. He then told me since I cannot give him my information he could not help me.
This to me is strange and I do not trust this. I know for a fact I have NOTHING in collections so he has they have no reason to be calling me.

IGNORE HAPPYGOLUCKY - like Nikki in previous posts they are collection agents trying to appear they are legitimate while they break laws..   TX AG already has a case pending against their ILLEGAL DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES!

(August 21, 2008)  THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!
ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT TAKES ACTION AGAINST DEBT COLLECTION FIRM FOR HARASSING TEXAS CONSUMERS

Dallas-based firm cited for mailing deceptive letters claiming legal action against debtors  

DALLAS ? Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today charged a Dallas-based debt collection firm with using deceptive practices to collect payments from Texas consumers. The attorney general?s enforcement action asked the court to permanently enjoin Anderson, Crenshaw & Associates, L.L.C. from harassing Texas debtors with deceptive letters and unlawful telephone calls.

Since 2006, the Office of the Attorney General has received more than 75 complaints alleging misconduct by Anderson, Crenshaw & Associates in Texas and around the country. The Better Business Bureau has received 72 complaints against the firm.

CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email  the details w/your location.  Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.


File complaints with TX Attorney General Gregg Abbot ASAP
http://www.oag.state.tx.us/consumer/filing.shtml
ALSO REPORT THEM TO THE WWW.FTC.GOV
IF not in TX, make sure you file complaints with your State Attorney General as well.

Just call them back.  The calls will persist if you don't call back.  Don't be afraid.  They could possibly help you.

I HAVE RECIEVED SEVERAL CALLS FROM ANDERSON,CRENSH AND LIKE OTHER PEOPLE I DONT KNOW WHO THEY ARE.I HAVE NO DEBT I TOLD THEM IF THEY CALL AGAIN I WOULD REPORT THEM.SO FAR I HAVENT HEARD FROM THEM.BUT ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME..

these guys are rude.  They called my business and start asking lots of questions without introducing themselves.  I gave them no information.

I agree and have filed a complaint myself with the Washington State Attorney Genrals office and will do whatever I can to stop people like this- This is a form of harrasment and should NOT be tollerated- I will keep posting often to help you all resolve there aggresive and bullish tactics- My wife is now 11 weeks pregnant and we dont need for her to be stressed about something that doesnt concern us especially since we lost our 1st one at 11 weeks last winter. These people are terroristic........and need to be stopped

i have seen what anderson crenshaw and associates can do first hand first they stressed out my wife to the point that she needed to go into the ER she was in that much pain. second when i returned their calls they insulted my wife and my son. third they then told me they were having a "cease and desist order" sent for me to stop calling them however they still call me over and over sometimes 8 times in a day yet have never sent the order. when i answer it they hang up if i don't answer it they leave a message for another person's debit. fourth they have threatened to place a lien on my mother in laws property if i do not pay on a fraudulent debit. what do i do ?

Maybe you need to reread their comments. They did not have any concerns about their account, they had concerns about your firm.

I have had similar run-ins with these people. Please visit the FCC site and file formal complaint. These kinds of companies need to be out of business. They called family relatives to reach me and never contacted me directly. Claiming I owed an amount of $2375.91 (APEX Alarms) on the spot or face legal action. They tried to bully me into the payment, and made it seem like I had no options.

I called APEX Alarms(reputable company)and verified that I had a past due balance ($389) that could be payed and my account restored with service and all.

So please visit this link and file a complaint:

this works even better if you have a mute button on your phone, since some phones are very sensitive and the person on the other end may hear even your breathing.  Good luck!!

Nikki, you need to take a dose of your own medicine and shut the f*ck up since no one here believes a word you write.
