Just a message to remind all of you that YOU are a huge part of the reason why our economy is collapsing.  Stop your bitching!!!  What did you think would happen when you got a loan or opened up a credit card account and didnt pay it back???  

You or someone you know probably lost their job because companies do not have money to stay in business due to the fact that folks like you are not paying them for good and services... and folks like you guys whining here continue to ignore your responsibilities.  

IF YOU PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME, THEN YOU DONT GET ANY CALLS ASKING YOU TO GET YOUR S*** TOGETHER.... plain and simple!

IT IS ILLEGAL, IF YOUR COMPANY IS LEGIT IT HAS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS.  IF YOU SAY I OWE A DEBT PROVE IT, ONCE YOU'VE PROVEN IT WITH LEGIT PAPERWORK AND I STILL REFUSE TO PAY TAKE ME TO COURT.  BUT IF DISPUTE YOUR CLAIM AND PROVE THE DEBT ISN'T MINE YOU BY LAW HAVE TO STOP COLLECTION EFFORTS.  IT'S SIMPLE, WE ARE ALL GOVERNED BY RULES.  BASICALLY COLLECTION COMPANIES PURCHASE "SO CALLED DEBTS" FROM COMPANIES WITHOUT RESEARCHING.  SOME DEBTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN BANKRUPTCY OR HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED.  DON'T GET PISSED BECAUSE YOU WERE SCAMED BY COMPANIES WHO LOST A PROFIT.  THIS CRAP IS ALL MONEY DRIVEN AND PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH THE THREATS. COLLECTION AGENCIES ARE SO BOLD NOW THAT THE JUST GO THROUGH PUBLIC RECORD AND CALL ANY NUMBER THAT THEY THINK THE SO CALLED DEBTOR IS ASSOCIATED WITH.  WTF!!!!  I KNOW COLLECTORS HAVE TO WORK, BUT WORK FOR A LEGIT COLLECTION AGENCY.

Look who's talking!
Commiting fraud across state lines!

HOW IS IT ILLEGAL OR A SCAM FOR SOMEONE TO PAY A DEBT THAT THEY OWE?  THESE PEOPLE GO AND GET LOANS W/THEIR DRIVERS LICENSE AND GIVE THEIR VITAL INFO AND KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IT BACK, BUT WHEN SOMEONE CALLS THEM ON THEIR BS THEY ARE WRONG...THAT ALL DAY LONG IS THEFT OF GOODS AND SERVICES

I received calls from these people last year. I finally got them to stop screaming and being rude long enough to let them know that I filed bankruptcy. I gave them my case # and didn't hear a word from them until today. And today, it was a very very rude woman. She spoke unclear and as fast as she could. I suppose this was her way of scaring me. I asked her to slow down and explain to me what she was calling for. She wanted to verify my address and when I would be home! LOL! Then she repeated the same information 4 times and scoffed when I asked her to spell a name a of a supposed company that I owe. She spelled it with a very rude attitude. Then I asked for the companies contact info since I had never heard of them. She proceeded to put me on hold...and then what do you know...Noone could take my call!

Scam artists! Get a real job!

I got so carried away searching I forgot to include my email unfairdebtcollectors@gmail.com

Lets Join together and fight them!

Every one who has dealt with these abusive, federal law breaking crooks and are tired of it and want to do something email me! lets all ban together if we get enough complaints with the FTC its call class action baby!  I deal with another company just like this one Dorsey Thornton & A**'s, Well you know what there are laws and rules they need to follow. They received proof that what they had on file was incorrect and we never owed nothing, they still call and leave a recording on my machine talking about a settlement has been reached to close my file! I say Guess what to many mistakes equals boo boo!  I mean look at the owner of the company I mentioned search his name he is the owner of the company Michael Thornton 41, plead guilty in union city georgia! Put it in and look, next thing I"m doing is finding out who owns this company, in several places online when finding the name greenburg and morons it says see dorsey and morons so I think theres something fishy between the two companies!  

Let me also add that if you get a loan which is what a pay day LOAN is, if something came up and you couldnt pay it that dont make you a thief or a criminal it makes you broke you a***ole!  it also dont make you a dead beat! this economy sucks and its gonna get worse with this a***ole we have for a president gonna make illegals legal! wtf you think our countries broke now just wait!

ok thats all i'm doing for now you guys just search google! you can find out sooooo much!!! just like DT&A's owner Michael Thornton is being sentenced in September for TAX FRAUD (1.8mil) I find it hilarious they call and post stop being dead beats, its criminal and here they are the biggest crooks ever!!!

They call my cell phone from restricted numbers different numbers and call not just once but over 10 times at least a day.  Please take note another number is 714-798-7425 for these Scamsters!!!  I do not owe anyone  I pay all my bills on time!!!  And will not give out even my name or address even to "confirm who I am"  that is just one more piece of identity trail they need to steal my identity.  They are rude ignorant and do not follow the law!!!  I refuse to talk to anyone I do not know or call

I would recommend Everyone does the same If you don't know the number let it go to your answer machine/voice mail

Too many people out there trying to steal identities and too many people trying to rip people off

Scam  Do NOT fall for them  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING DO NOT ANSWER THEIR CALLS

Bill Richards

They are still at it.  My father received a call for me from a Bill Richards stating that they had been to my parents to serve a warrant for me.  1st my father was home all day and no one came to the door they then called and left a message that I had to call Bill Richards right away referencing a case # as I was being sued.  I looked them up and obtained this info,  So everyone beware.  I am a bill collector and these tactics are totally unacceptable and give all the legit collections companies a bad name.  They need to have their license pulled.

Found a message on my phone this morning left a little after 4pm yesterday. A woman with a significant African-American accent (at least sounded similar) left a garbled message about "my fraud case" could not make out who she was representing; did manage to make out her phone number and her name: Leslie Hill and that if I did not call back she would have no choice but to assume I did not contest the charges and to proceed with prosecution

So I used an incorrect term, I am still far more literate than a shill! Gee, but I did notice you didn't mention anything about extortion being incorrect! HA!

HOW CAN SOME ONE BLACKMAIL YOU INTO PAYING YOUR DEBT................. STOP THINK ABOUT IT

Y DONT U JUST QUIT BEING A DEAD BEAT DEBTOR AND PAY YOUR BILLS.... THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO CALL U.


DUH

UM .................. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A LOT OF TYPOS IN YOUR WRITING MIGHT WANT TO TAKE AN ENHLISH CLASS

Who do we report these calls to?

So called Agent Turner,

First you are wrong, owing money you borrowed is not a crime it is a civil matter, but impersonating or giving the impression through overt acts that you are in any way connected to or a member of a law enforcement agency, when you clearly are not is both a state and federal felony offense punishable by incarceration up to five years and a 50,000 fine, or both. So I suggest you drop the act!

They claim a family member used me as a reference for a transaction and now they need to follow up with that person.  Asked if I would have them call their number in Atlanta.  If I was used as a reference for a loan or something, why didn't they call me to see what I had to say.  These people represent shoddy businesses that target people with financial problems, then don't care about references, then try to collect from these people.   This "legal" company left a message on my answering machine that was spoken so fast and so slurred, I had to play it five times to get the whole message...not very professional I'd say.

"Govern yourself accordingly?" They should speak for themselves.

Report these complaints to the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs:

send a statement via USPS to
Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs
2 Martin Luther King Drive, SE, Suite 356
Atlanta, Georgia 30334-4600
or fax to 404-651-9018

Describe your contact with this company and their practices. It's extremely important to their case to include in your statement if the phone representative claimed to be an attorney, claimed that the firm is a law firm or alluded to the firm being a law firm or having lawyers on staff or something about a  network of attorneys that work for their firm. Also end your statement with the line below:

I respectfully request that the firm Greenburg, Stein & Associates be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law pursuant to 15 USC §§ 1692 § 814 and State laws regarding Fair Debt Collection Credit Practices.

Mr. Turner if you cannot provide email or certified letter to consumers who you say owe a debt then you have no valid proof.  You sir and your company should be ashamed of the practice you are engaging with.  Taking people's money for your illegal scam. If you are such a law firm then you would know that it is illegal for you to leave intimidating messages.

Got a call from investigator johnson.  She said that I should govern myself accordingly.  She said that I had a civil and criminal lawsuit pending against me for a payday loan.  They told me that I needed to pay half and speak with Mr.Johnson a mediator for the company.  I paid what they ask for and then come to find out that this company is a fraud after research.  This company is up to no good and credit collection agency are not by law supposed to call and intimidate or threaten you to pay.  Wish I knew what to do to stop these people and file a law suit against them my self.  Do not give them information as they can't seem to give you any other than what they fish from you....scam alert!!!!!

Investigator Turner, you are an illiterate SHILL! There is an ENORMOUS difference between robbery and non-payment of a debt. The CRIME here is on your end! You are an extortionist and blackmailer. You intentionally lie to people to get money from them that they may or may not owe. The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act is a LAW not an option of yours. And don't give me that sh*t excuse that you are not a collection agency because the FTC would beg to differ:

The FDCPA defines a debt collector as an entity that regularly collects debts owed to another. This definition can include collection agencies, lawyers and companies that buy debt then try to collect.

So why don't you just go and smoke some more crack LOSER!

Frustrated, check the statute of limitations for your particular state. Five years sounds like it may be too old for any legal recourse to be taken by them. Just google "statute of limitations on debt" and your state and something will come up where you can find it. If you do not receive a dunning letter in the mail within five days of the first phone call by them, then they are probably not even a "real" agency. If you ask them for their address and they say they can't give that info to you, they are probably not real. I had one scam agency call me today and when I got off the phone with the head scammer, I called back and told the girl who answered I wanted their address to file a complaint. She actually said to me that she couldn't give that out. When I asked why, she said "because of people like you who could come and do something to us." I told her she should stop smoking crack cuz she's getting too paranoid. I think she's more worried about the cops coming than some irate consumer. My company sells metal detectors and baggage x-ray systems, I should have tried to sell one to her! So, then I called her back cuz I knew I was getting on her nerves and asked "how are you planning on filing a lawsuit against me if you won't disclose your address?" She said "I have no idea who you are but if you don't have a case number, please do not call here again." I then contemplated calling back a forth time and telling her I'd like to make a deal with her, if her "company" stopped calling trying to rob me, I'll stop calling them. HAHAHAHA! Blackmailing the extortionists!

I too have fallen to the scam. Agent turner has called my mother and mother in law stating they had something on my SSN and needed to resolve this immediately. Seems to me that after all of this reading there is truly something going on and the Fair Debt Collection Agency needs to get involved.
There are rights as consumers even if you do have debts to how they are collected. They would not send me info via mail or email to the validity of the debt. I am not even sure I owe the debt from 5 years ago. But if I did i would like to have proof.

My MIL received a call and it was for my DH and her name was a reference.  I am looking on here and I see that it is a scam.  They told her that they had his SS# and want to know where he worked.

you all just need to do what you need to do! Not only have you been calling me for YEARS! you never sue for what you say is case number xxxx. I do see some dude in California went after YOU agent Turner or Agent Sebastian for 15:1692 Fair Debt Collection Act and won $5,5507.50. I owe you nothing yet you continue to break into my cell phone records and call everyone I have ever called...JEEZE it's that just a little illegal. You call our superviors and say we are under investigation. Illegal as wel. You must get your rocks off calling people and screaming at them or making threats regarding lawsuits...either s*** or get off the pot. Sue or shut the f*** up!

That's funny. My call from investigator Turner was a women. Mayby it's a heshe. Told her to stop calling me because I was onto her scam and she hung up on me....:):)

AFTER READING ALL THESE I CAN T BELIEVE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR UR CRAP..
YOU NOT ONLY HAVE BROKE THE LAW BUT NOW I HAVE YOU ON RECORDING WITH SEVERAL OF YOUR PEOPLE ...
I HAVE CONTACTED A REAL LAWYER AND HE ADVISED ME TO CLOSE MY BANK ACCOUNT WHICH YOU HAD THE INFO ON AND WHEN AND IF YOU CALL ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS AGAIN THEY TOO WILL RECORD THIS INFO AND YOU WILL BE CLOSED DOWN AND GIVEN  SEVERAL SUITS.........SO KEEP TRYING TO SCREW PEOPLE BECAUSE IN THE END YOUR GONNA BE THE ONE SITTING IN A JAIL CELL

I keep getting calls from "Investigator Kreissberg" 6787019302 and she keeps calling with intimidation and threats ...I can tell what she is saying is phoney - she can barely even speak correctly.  She even called my number and left a message for yet another person - different name, etc.   (hello!)  One day she called my employer and my voicemail was full and she then went to the receptionist - isn't this harrassment???  Now she's claiming she will garnish my wages.  Can they really do this on an old account from five or six years ago?  A pay day loan place which I offered to pay off by money order and yet when I sent a small payment they rejected it and sent it back to me - they refused it !  Now this?  I still have their letter and envelope from teh payment they refused to take.  Some days Miss "investigator kreissberg" has a hard time remembering what her name is.  Interesting.  They have made a lot of money off of me already - same scenario with the pay day loans.  I have a feeling this is just a phoney collection agency trying to make money as they bought the account for a pdl company, which robs people to beging with - they should be banned!!!

They also call from this number 678-466-6948, And it seems they have a new agent. Agent Thomas Williams. He loves to call and harrass, threaten, intimidate.. He refuses to send any paperwork via mail.Says I have had all the paperwork sent previously. Everytime he calls I tell him the same thing I wil not give acct info..He claims it is with the georgia court system. But if I call before a certaim time he can keep it out of court and save me embarrassment. I am being charged with check fraud, and something else. oh yeah I am being investigated with the IRS. How can I pay something if it is already turned into the court. You can't. He has claimed I am getting served atleast 2 times.etc.
He has called several friends or family and tried to get them to pay, for me.they have blocked his number. saying I was going to drag them down for not handling this debt.
