now, kinda.
left a call back number of 1-800-575-9841
makes sense in the tone....."in my best interest", "call is being recorded"
"you have been put on notice".
And never heard from before. what's better is the unaudible extension number left to be reached at...........

Hey guess what I made so much money from those comissions....Thank You SCS. Oh and if you really want to harrass someone contact Rick Bartlett. That is the owner of the company.

They represent No Appointment MD. I went in, they tried to charge my insurance $454. My insurance ws not valid--- and they refused to honor the $72.00 office visit charge. So I am willing to pay the $72.00 office visit charge--- nothing more.

screw you jack off

I didnt recieve any calls from any one the way I found out about them was on Friday the 9th when I went to withdraw money from my bank to pay bills & I had "NOTHING"! They took $830. from me & I have no clue who they are so I called the # provided by my bank, I talked to an "URSULA" ext#51017 & she couldnt help me for s**t not even with the "REFERENCE #s" I gave her she just asked me if my name was "RAYMUNDO" when I clearly told her Monic in the 1st place! If any one know's how I can resolve this & get my money back, PLEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ reply! THX

Did it ever occur to you that not everyone you contact is a deadbeat? Some of us have lost our jobs or are physically unable to work and therefore can't pay our bills no matter how much we would like to. Don't judge other people's situtations/lives without knowing the facts. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I got a message to call 480-575-9840 with a reference #.  I ignored a few of these messages, but finally called them since they kept leaving me a message.  It turned out that they were after some guy named Jorhay (I don't know anyone by that name).  I told them that I'm not that person.  They apologized and said that they would removed my phone number from their database.

I have no idea who this company is and didn't bother asking them.

Send them a Cease and Desist Communications Letter by certified mail, and they will stop calling you.  If they don't stop calling you, then file a complaint against them with The Arizona Department of Financial Institutions.  That will get their attention.  Make sure you record their telephone calls and give the tapes to the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions so we can get this collection agency to go out of business in Arizona.

The left a voicemail on my work phone stating they had some important personal information to tell me and to call back.  I called back, they didn't have my name or number on file.  They have no idea why they called my work number.  Either the company is incompetent or some other person at my company owes money and they used to have my work number (I've only had my work number for less than 6 months).  Overall they were nice but I'm sure they wouldn't have been if I did owe money.

WELL IF YOU DEADBEATS WOULD PAY YOUR BILLS, WE WOULDNT BE CALLING

Who is this? They call and don't say a word and when I call it back, nobody ansewrs!

this is Scott Akins and I have a confidential medical file in my possesion that I need to speak to you about
call my toll free number 800 575 9841

i got a call from this agency about a debt that i owed and they are verry buisiness perfessional they actualy helped me out in clearing my name from the major credit bureaus and saved my credit. i want to say thanks to them and give them a big thumbs up...

I got a mysterious call from this number telling me to call Jason Cook back immediately as there is a maricopa county case involving me.  No idead what this is about.. very mysterious

This is a debt collection agency.  When you call them back, you have to go through 7 different prompts to reach anyone.  When you do reach someone it's an automated voice mail asking to leave a message and they will return your call.  No one ever calls you back.  When I finally did speak to a rep. by the name of Vanessa, she didn't have any information linked to my phone number with my name.  Sounds like harassment to me!!

They're a debt collection agency.

If you really want their harrassment to stop call anyone in the enforcement division at the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions.
They are the state regulatory agency for collection agencies.
They have a complaint form that you can obtain online and you may either fax it or mail it into them. Here is a link to their website www.azdfi.gov/
or you may call them at :
Arizona Department of Financial Institutions
2910 N. 44th St. Suite 310
Phoenix, AZ 85018
Phone: (602) 771-2800
Fax: (602) 381-1225


Let them know what is going on- It is not illegal to  record a threatening or harrassing collection call without their knowledge and that is valuable as evidentiary against collection agencies.... also you may file complaints effectively with both The Arizona Attorney General's Office and The Federal Trade Commission - both agencies have complaint forms that you can complete online.

Why not file with all 3 - you may prevent someone else from being harrassed.

Google them and you will see Last Years Cease and Desist Order from The AZDFI which audited S.C.S. and then fined them for trust account shortages which showed they were not remitting monies (collected and due to their clients) timely.
ALSO IF YOU HAVE PAID THEM ON A BILL CALL THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR TO VERIFY IF THEY REPORTED THE CORRECT AMOUNT THEY COLLECTED -TO ENSURE THAT THE MONIES YOU PAID WERE DIVIDED FAIRLY BETWEEN S.C.S. AND THE COMPANY THAT YOU ACTIUALLY OWED
