Put another way .....

Oh, dear lord, it "sounds pretty important", I'm "kinda confused", but something said "attorney general's office" and by the way, "it's pretty important" so I'm going to squint my eyes shut and throw money at the problem until the scary phone calls stop.

There you have the classic stupid way of handling third party debt collectors, which is to say laying back and letting them handle *you* all they like. Now let's talk about a smart way, which means dropping the panic and raising your suspicions.

Is it really your ticket? How old is it? Does either state law require you to pay? Is everything said about the alleged debt accurate? Does the collector really speak for an "attorney general"? Has the collector broken laws to seize your assets with less effort? Is the collection agency licensed or bonded as your state may demand? Don't sweat bullets and assume they're all right and you're all wrong. Quite often the opposite is true.

It's now too late as of amonth ago for this commentor to sue for the FDCPA violations for which General Collection Services is known to commit. Don't be a doormat for these people. Learn your rights and save some grief.

l keep getting calls from this number l dont know them please let`s me know who are this people

I don't owe anything to anyone and I haven't ever gotten a ticket in LA.  Start with the do not call web site and click on the complaint form for debt collectors.  The FTC takes debt collectors very seriously.

I too recieved several calls from them. I was on serious medication that gave me short term memory and I forgot to continue payment. I had a $100 left and they added $300 fee for missed payment. I only called them because I finally recieved a letter. but they kept calling my house and hanging up. When they finally decided to leave a message, I couldn't understand the message. I Couldn't understand the name other than da Mr. part and when he said the number he left a number out, that or his accent was so thick I was having problems understanding. His message was off anyway. It was as if he never left a massage before. Thats probably due to all the hangups they do. Well when I did call them, the person was very rude and I told them that he had no right to speak to me that way. He acted as if he owned me or he was my father. Sorry my father is dead! You can not talk to me that way! Anyway, he said I had no way of getting the fee waived. I decided to call the court (Fresno, but the collection agency is based in SoCal I believe) and the operator said I could apply for a waiver and send in the difference and wait for a judgement. My license will remain on hold until then. I am going to write the letter and hope that they will have mercy, I am unemployed, have alot of medical problems. I can't afford to pay that with all the bills piling up already!

I had unpaid ticket for not having proof of insurance FOUR years ago. GC Collection still hassles me with calls once or twice a year. The last time they called they to have my drivers license suspended if I didn't have a copy of my receipt to proof I had paid. I told that was four years ago and I no longer had the receipt. They made more threatening statements and I disconnected from the conversatiIon. Anyway they have not had my license suspended and I just keep it moving everytime they call.

Didn't answer cuz I don't know anyone from this are code so I let it ring to voice mail and when I heard the voice mail it was a blank message and when I called it back it was busy. Idk I guess I ignore it

I got a call from this number, it is GC Services, found out it was from a traffic ticket I recieved in California, out of state. Its also the attorney generals office so I guess it sounds pretty important, if you can call them back on your GC Services bill 18007275848 8am-9pm Its pretty important to consider making small payments at least when it is at this point, or at least thats what they make it sound like, Im pretty sure it is a collections agent too, kinda confused but Im sending 50 in tommorrow to at least show them I am making an effort.

It's GC Services, they collect for the courts. I owe more than a grand in tickets and it's best to make payment arrangements cause when it's too late they will start hassling you and they can be really rude. I did it only because they were going to suspend my license and possibly garnish my wages. I definitely didn't want that to happen. Hope that was helpful. If you do decide to call them (800)352-3778 ask for Mr. Zermeno, he was helpful. The rest of them are straight B****ES...

Yeah, it's GC Services.  I was just discharged from the hospital for a very serious condition, and explained that to them yesterday, but they've still hassled me...over a seatbelt ticket. My gosh.

I received a call from this number first on my cell phone but when I answered they hung up on me. Then they called my house and hung up on me again. I tried calling and the line was busy.

It is GC services.  If you owe the courts money, they use these people to collect the debt.  Haven't had anyone rude thus far.

i received a call twice from this 626 338 3450 number. my caller i.d. said it was some operations division in baldwin park, ca. if its a collection agency, they cant collect if they hang up when you answer. besides i have no court fees pending and especially in baldwin park.

The people so far have been nice, however they need to learn how to work their phones, I called 3 times, all every time I was sent to a line that just constantly rang and rang...

Thanks man. At least now I have a number to call *that actually has someone to pick up the phone*. I have never taken any loan or borrowed any money and I received prank calls from them, right when I was in my worst mood. I almost contacted a lawyer, and was ready to go.

Same thing happened to me. Got a call then they hung up! I kept calling the #back all day & just a got a busy signal. I only have 2 outstanding tickets & if they try to collect i really dont care cause i dont have a job!

No answer, no recording, busy upon returning call to this number.

Once again I am receiving unsolicited calls every day at approx. the same time from the above indicated number (626) 338-3450) identified as being in Covina, Ca.
I do not know anyone in that city and have absolutly no connection with any person, business or place in that city. These calls just started up and provide no way to connect to request their discontinuence. I was having a similar condition occur with a number from Martin, North Dakota. And as with the Covina calls ...I have absolutely no connection with anyone from that state whatsoever.
Who are these callers and why do they prevent the recipient from having the calls stop?
Any help\advice you can provide would very greatly appreciated.
I have incorporated both numbers in e-mails I have submitted to our local Ca. PUC, the Gov. 'Do Not Call' complaint center and my local and congressional representatives offices. If these jack***es are in any way associated with credit collection, charities, political or other non-profit agencies and are pulling this crap, I am formulating a formal 1000 John Does letter of complaint to have them legally checked out and prosecuted for harrassment and illegal abuse of their business calling exceptions status.
Thanks !!!!!!!!

This call is being placed to my cell number on a daily basis and I have no idea why. It leaves no message and has no response when responded to.
I have learned from the above posts that this is some kind of 'collections' process. There is absolutely no reason for me to be onm such a call\dial up list. I owe nothing to no one for any reason.
Please do what ever is possible to stop this unecessary and disturbing annoyance from this caller.
Thank You.

Didn't answer. The voicemail they left had a number to call back about a "business matter." They obviously called the wrong person because they asked for person by name.

This number has been calling for 3 - 4 weeks.  When you answer there is a muted background.  calls during & after business hours.  Please block.

i got a call from that, when i called back, it was busy.

Some one is calling me from this number.  They will not identify themselves or leave a message.  If this is GC Services,  they should identify themselves and leave a message.

I keep on getting calls and hang ups from this number. By googling the number I found out who they were. If they are going to call leave a message or at least answer.

Yep, me too.    I'm not answering.   I owe nothing to anyone.   My question is how they got my number......... and how to get it to stop.

CALLED THE NUMBER LEFT IN THE MESSAGE AND THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHO THEY WERE OR WHAT THEY DID WITHOUT GIVING THEM MY NAME WHAT KIND OF SCAM IS THIS???
