I received a call from this number on February 4, 2008 on my cell phone. I did not answer it because I didn't recognize the number. How did these people get my cell phone number (which I won't include in this e-mail to protect my privacy)? Let these people know that I won't stand for this and to STOP calling me!!!

Corporate Recievables called me about a $700 balance I owe on a credit card. I knew it owed it so I called the guy john fox back. Left him a few messages and never got anything back but collection msgs on my phone. He called and harrassed my mother even though I had not lived with her for 2 years. My husband then tried to call and resolve the issue since they obviously didn't want to call me back. This john fox character called him the f word and cursed at him over and over. He also kept hanging up on my husband everytime he would call mr fox back. My husband tried to tell him we would send them payments till it was paid off. He said what we could afford and john fox said it wasn't good enough. Well we tried. Obviously the company cares nothing about their reputation.

yep...my post is almost exactly like the post above from customer service expert posted on March 24, 2008 except its not a Best Buy account...its Yamaha/HSBC...some guy calls says they have to have the entire amount due, they will not work out a repayment plan, he stated Yamaha did not want us to make payments, they had turned the acct. over to them...then he threatens to sue, take my father-in-laws pension (he's a co-signer), just keeps DEMANDING payment in full...and says if we don't pay they are going to reposess our ATV's....well DUH if we can't come up with the monthly payment, how the heck we gonna come up with $6000.00 We actually had the past due amount, plus the next months payment ready to send out when this guy called.

We did not tell him we were going to call Yamaha directly.... we did & asked if we sent the payment, were they going to accept it? The lady said: Sure we will...just send in the payments, everythiing goes back to the original agreement...your next payemnt will be due on the 20th. My husband asked if we couldn't pay in the future, would they repo the atv's...she said: no sir...thats the last thing we want...they aren't worth what is owed on them. We just want you to pay what you can when you can.....try not to get more than 2 payments behind. So we were waiting to see if Yamaha accepted the checks, they did 2 days ago..and as soon as my husband gets back in town, he's calling that guy back..and telling him to kiss his a**! We don't like being harrassed & bullied...or especially lied to!!!

The bottom line is that they cannot make you DO anything.  Please review the Fair Credit Practices Act and learn your rights!  If you are still having problems, albeit financial or otherwise, contact the FCC and file a complaint.  You will likely be refered to your Attorney General, please take that time and let the complaint be followed through.  The calls will cease.  It is illegal for any type of harassment on any form of communication, so stand up for your rights!

If someone gets abusive toward you, document the date/time and the number they called you from (and any other numbers they use).  Take this information and pass it along, I can assure you these calls will cease.

Also!  Do not forget that there are new laws being passed right now through legislation, one just passed a week or two ago regarding fees, etc. which are imposed by credit card companies.  Look into these things, educate yourself and FIGHT BACK!

My name is Lee and I am preparing to deploy to Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne on Sunday. I recieved a call from Joe Owens. I've been really tight on money recently, but about 2 months ago I set up 2 payments by check to occur on certain dates after payday. Everything seemed fine, but when those dates came, nothing happened. No money was withdrawn. A couple of days ago, I was required to pick up some needed items, such as socks, and hygiene items, etc, with put me below the amount to be withdrawn. I received a call from him yesterday. Not only did I tell him yesterday that I could not talk during work, he went as far as to infuriate me with childish name calling. I called him back today to find that if I didn't pay up now, they were proceed 'against' me. Before that threat I actually offered him the number of my father who has power of attorney and that next month he could handle it. Of course, right then he became very rude. Needless to say I chose some colorful words to let him know how I felt, and he did NOT get the last word. I just called HSBC, told them whats up and that I will not deal with that company in any form.

I got the pleasure of speaking to "Bob Jordan" AND "Cal Brooks" today. Both of them were questioning, "Well, why haven't you paid this bill? if you can pay your rent and bills, why don't you take care of this? We're going to go after your assets to get this money back if you don't do something about it. Do you have a bank account?" Well, needless to say, I wasn't the most pleasant and told those jerks where they could stick their idle threats. For everyone here, request a copy of the debt they have against you, the original signed agreement, etc. Watch how fast they stop calling you once they can't provide you with all documentation. If anyone wants to message me with issues they have had with this company, I would really appreciate it! Just let me know that you found my email on this forum. My email is spinstar13@aol.com Thanks!

Left a message for me said he was calling me about a personal matter his was handling for me. I wasn't sure who it was so I went to the internet and found this site. Not looking forward to taking the call. He said his name was Tim Johnson. He was calling from CRI the caller ID said Corp Receivable. He wanted me to call him back at 1-800-643-2376.

a "Mitch Young" has called numerous times to my unlisted number regarding collections of an account which I know nothing of. This is apparently a fraudulent organization.

they called me AT WORK about a collection - guy was VERY RUDE and threatening to take my house and my car all over an $774 best buy credit card. if they call you call the FFIEC and the Atty Gen in your state and in AZ. These people are complete sleazes!!!!

keep getting calls from a mitch young and he is an a$$hole. tried working with him, nearly impossible to.

seems to me like if joe owens mom would have had change for a ten he would have been a b*** job.  wanted to fist fight with me. would be funny considering i just got out of the marine corps where i was a hand to hand combat instructor and he sound all of 5 foot 5 100 lbs. almost worth it to just drive over to phoenix and see how tough he is

These people are very pushy and very rude...............

I just received ANOTHER phone call from this number on my cell phone. I did not answer it and this time a gentleman left a voicemail message saying that I was a contact for an Ellen somebody (didn't get the last name) and left a number and extension saying that it was very important that he speak with her. AGAIN, HOW DID THIS PERSON GET MY CELL PHONE NUMBER!?!?! I just sent this person a text message asking him to stop calling me! Hope it works!

800-643-2376 and 716-558-5933 also calls.
I recently had my information stolen so this must be
the thieves/scammers.

I just got a call at my workplace from a person that calls himself "Bob Jordan" from 602-749-1200.

1st let me say that he was rude, pushy & very insincere.
2nd let me say that I had missed only two payments on my BestBuy account.

He informed me that "BestBuy" demands a balance in full payment of $1,700 dollars. I informed him to remove my work ph# and to not call here again as I had already mailed BestBuy a payment. He stated that it was too late and that my account was closed.
He then stated that I have to pay the balance in full today or else "they & the bank" would have to look into my assets, mentioning home, cars and so they could get their payment. I told him that I would make payment arrangements, he stated "You don't understand were not a collector, we work for the bank, so I better find a way to pay today"..."borrow the money from friends, family, do what you have to do to get a loan"

I informed him that I will be contacting BestBuy and will get back to him.
He stated my account was closed with them and there was no need to contact them. I informed him I still would do so.

After writing this I will be in contact with BestBuy to make a formal complaint about this person & the company he represents. I will also inform them that two late payments is no reason to send such a rude and pushy company after me!!! I will request no further contact from BestBuy. I also plan on paying BestBuy back directly not this "unknown company"

Wow these guys are pretty Amazing.  Eric called me and tried to bully me and it didn't work.  I have my own business and he found my web site and blog and talking stuff about my wife.   Just call HCBC and tell them they are harrassing you and you don't have to go through them.  I just paid my bill in full and CR doesn't get any credit.  LOL.

Be sire to file a complaint with the Attorney General when you get these types of calls.  CRI will get credit for that payment.  You should also file a complaint with the Arizona Banking Dept that regulates them.

Eric is a real jerk...always being cruel to people.

Call is also tied to  1 - 800-643-2376. "Hillary" is  rude. Calls  persistently  after being told that the party they  are  looking for has not lived there  in  the last year.

Cal Brooks from this company called harassing me from Corporate Receivables. Just ignore them. Send them a registered letter telling them to cease and desist. They are bottom feeers.

Got a call from 602-749-1200 on my cell while driving home from work today..

Googled the # and found this page..Now almost wish I would've answered but I hate when people drive and yak on the phone..No Outstanding debts in the last 20 years, so What gives? Tried calling them back but got Voicemail.

Either these ppl are (the) bad guys or they got the wrong #.

Got a call from (602)749-1200. called back and talked to a "jeff allen".  Very mean and used bad language against me. He threatened to take forcefull action against me.  Is there an attorney or someone that can help me stop these harrasements.  they are waste of time.

I received a voicemail message without any talking from this phone number and decided to do a google search on this phone number.  I hope these phone calls don't continue.  Good luck everyone!

Broad just called our office line asking for a bogus person. She basically combined two different last names. Scam scam scam!!! Got a name of "Synthia Gilmore" and before I could get what company, she hung up on me. I flippin hate that! Snotty little BlTCH! Someone peg these guys.

call a lawyer, they have been found guilty of many violations

i recieved a voicemail saying i needed to call this guy back with a reference number. then he called my wifes phone left a voicemail saying hes trying to get a hold of both of us. A few minutes later i recieved the phone call again. My message clearly states if you are calling from an unknown name or number your call will not get answered or returned. lets see how many more times they try calling

Sorry for the many posts... my connection is bad today. Cloudy.

They called my phone (prepaid) but I never answer numbers I don't know. I guess I'll keep on ignoring it.

By the way, this is a good link: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf  By law they have to stop calling you if you request it. Next time they call, tell them you're going to report them.

Please read this also. It has great information. http://litigiousconsumer.com/2007/07/05/beat-collection-agencies-at-their-own-game/

Today's generation consists of debt. Ask anyone who is not "wealthy" and everyone has debt. This Corporate receivables debt collection agency is unfair and unjust. They have broken many of the FDCPA regulations. Report them write a letter, make a phone call contact the states attorney general and complain, together we can stop this place they ARE rude and unjust. It has been going on for too long and it needs to stop. Together we stand and if enough voices are heard about this place something MUST be done.  They cannot ignore it any longer contact someone.
