I had parking tickets in richton pk back in 05' I didn't know that my license was suspended until I received a letter from rmi/mcsi. I contacted them and made an agreement to pay on a payment plan only on the condition that was in writing that the collections will be removed from my credit report, and it was done. My license was reinstated after the binding agreement was signed by both parties at the village hall. Collections were removed as each $250 was paid.
I also filed bankruptcy and included all remaining tickets and yes they were all discharged, so from personal experience yes you can include parking tickets in a chapter 7 which is what I filed and a chapter 13.
This is all from personal experience hope the info was helpful.

This phone number called me twice in 4 hours and when I called it back it was for diet supplements

THIS IS A SCAM...They have called several times and I called them back but they do not have a person to receive calls after business hours. Bottom line is they claimed I had a unpaid ticket in a small Maryland municipality called Forrest Hights. I call them and they refereed me to the company that handles the billing for them. I called the company and gave them my info. They pulled up a camera tick I got a few years ago that I paid but nothing open right now.....I have read most of the recent posting about this and find some kind of hard to believe...Knowing what I know....these people claiming there life is ruined by these unpaid violations should not deal directly with this company but call the Police department that they claim you have a unpaid violation with...Your state DMV will also have a record if it has went unpaid for a long time..The folks that call you probable will not have you info such as License plate, your name and address..they will try to get this info from you..DO NOT GIVE IT.....SCAMMING ...They are fishing for your info......

calling me on behalf of someone else, I'm not that person

They said they were a Chicago Municipality on a business matter, they left the following number 708-455-4047.  Chicago has 312 & 773 area codes.   I've gotten this call several times, they seem like they are trying to get personal information.

Stevo your full of crapo.
Total scam artist.

708 455 4047 got a message from them. They were trying to reach my deceased father in law. I called them back. The woman was apologetic and very professional about closing the account, after I explained that my father in law had been dead three years. However, it was a little disconcerting, since we just moved here and my father in law hasn't been with us for years.

Received a phone message from this number today 1/17/2013 at about 1:22pm.

They want me to call them on a municipality violation. They did not identify themselves (City of Chicago, etc) I got home from work at 7pm today. I called back and left my home number and cell and stated I know nothing about it and have no documentation, call me with details during the day.

The recorded message I received when I called is that either they are busy or closed.

If they call me wanting money for a violation, it will have to be official and legal documentation. At this time I have had no notification of any kind via mail.

I have had no parking tickets or moving violations. I paid a red light camera ticket last May.

im getiing a lawyer myself f8ck them

i just got a call from RMI stating i owe Oak Forest for parking tickets. Really? I said when? I'd just began working again so how i get tixs from the train station. He stated 2 from 1999 and 1 from 2005. I said that's bs, what's the amount. He said $1,000. I said you must be crazy. He said if i put $600 down and pay $140 I will be in the clear. I said clear this, i hung up. I called Oak Forest to inquire and ask why you wait many years to collect and not one notification. They went around the question, but said that if i park in Oak Forest ANYWHERE and the debt is not paid, they will tow. Well guess what, i can take the train someplace other than Oak Forest.

Is there anyone who can tell me how I can go about getting these people off my back! They don't except payment plans and they are or already have suspended my Drivers license. I am so tired of the Rmcsi people calling me about these bellwood tickets. I have over 8,000 dollars in tickets in which they will not settle for nothing less. Is their a way I can go about handling this situation and getting my license from being suspended without paying them all that money which I don't have.

I don't know why they keep calling and harrasing me. I don't know what they want.

I had a gut feeling something was fishy with the two messages I received. I, too, am glad I found this site.

Haven't decided what to do about it yet, but I don't believe I have any violations. I did receive one a year ago, but I got notice in the MAIL and promptly paid it.

Gives me the creeps!!

I RECEIVED A MESSAGE STATING THEY WERE CALLING REGARDING A BUSINESS MATTER AND THEY WERE FROM THE CITY OF CALUMET CITY. MY HUSBAND CALLED BACK AND THEY SAID WE GOT A RED LIGHT TICKET VIOLATION IN AUGUST. I CALLED BACK. I SAID CAN YOU FAX ME SOMETHING IN WRITING, PICTURES OF THE RED LIGHT VIOLATION. SHE SAID NO, THEY WERE A COLLECTION AGENCY AND THAT THE LETTERS WERE ALREADY MAILED, WITH ONE BEING MAILED AT THE END OF JANUARY. I ASKED HER FOR HER FULL NAME AND TITLE, WHICH SHE ONLY REPLIED COLLEEN. SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T SEND ME ANYTHING IN WRITING, SO I SAID SHE COULDN'T HAVE ANY OF MY MONEY AND HUNG UP.  AND TO TOP IT OFF, SHE SAID MY VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN CHICAGO, WHICH IT HAS NEVER BEEN REGISTERED IN CHICAGO! I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS WEBSITE. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO CALL CALUMET CITY.

!

Messages are being left on phone #847-434-2829 which is no longer in use.

Well I also received a call from these same people & they told me the total of my parking tickets & they were willing to work with me on a payment agreement. They also told me that if I didn't set up some type of agreement that they were going to tow my car or put a boot on it.

I want the calls to stop.  They first called on my home phone and now my cell.  How can I stop these calls?
Caller: RMC

How long is this going to go on?  Is there a government agency to call?  I've had medical problems and cannot take this harassment.  Please help, someone...

I want the calls to stop.  They first called on my home phone and now my cell.  How can I stop these calls?

keeping getting calls from this number.  called back and they are looking for someone that doesn't live at our address.  told them to stop calling and was hung up on

Got a call from them. At first the lady said she is calling from the Chicago Police Department.  As we spoke, she may have lost her touch and claimed to be calling from a collection agency. So I asked her, "so you are not from the Chicago Police Department?" she said NO, hmmmm seems fishy to me.

However she told me it was for a ticket, gave me the plate number , time, year, ticket # and a website which is supposed to be sellmydebt.com but didnt work anyhow and with a password needed to get into the site.  

Then she left it off with if you have any problems, just call me back.  Well guess what, the domain sellmydebt.com does not even work.

I need to do further research to verify legitimacy.

I just a call from that same number, I did not answer because they are calling my cell phone, however, if I do not recognize the number, 9 times out of ten, I do not answer anyway.  But out of curiosity, I called the number and got a weird message so I just hung up.  The comment that the person gave you was very rude, obviously not a reputable company because it sounds like from the messages that I have been reading they have the bottom of the barrel working for them.

I just answered a call from 708-455-4047.  The caller asked for my sister who doesn't live with me.  I asked her what it was about and she said "what do you care if she doesn't live with you."  I said she is my sister and I assist her with various matters.  My sister has never even owned a car.

There is a spoof app, i got a call saying I owed for a traffic ticket from 2008, I used to work as an officer at the same station, I called and checked my license there were no tickets, the guy that called first said I owe 35$ for the ticket in 2008 and said If I don't pay I will get one for being too stupid to drive I laughed loudly and he hung up, about an hour later some girls I know drove up and told me they did it with a spoof app that let's you select the phone number that will show up on the caller ID.
Don't pay anyone money, tell them you want your day in court and 99 times out of 100 they will just drop it because it cost more to have a trial then they will make off the fine, just an insider tip for you all.

I would like to get the information regarding an account number that is showing up on my credit report however, they will not fax or email this information to me. the "account number" is 688394. I need to receive this information asap as it is holding my application for an apartment back. jilwear@hotmail.com

I received a call from this number but i didnt answer it.

This is not a scam, they have been hired by my village to collect on some unpaid parking tickets and if they are not paid then I will get a BOOT on my car which is why I pay them $50 a month so wake up people.

Get back to your debt collecting.   Stop reading these sites in working hours.     There are some people of sufficient education to be in control of their financial affairs without needing your homespun philosophy.

This number just called me. From reading these posts, it's from people who owe on tickets. I paid any tickets that I have received (none in a while) in cash, in person at the responding municipality that gave me the ticket (Round Lake and Palatine). I checked the site (RMI) and MCSI is a *client* of theirs. The (708) 455 number is NOT on RMI's page....This is the first page that came up on a google search for the number.

They just called my number asking for a Vincent and saying the phone call had to do with Chicago Heights (a suburb in the south area of Chicagoland).

Based on all the replies in this thread, I would advise anybody to check with the actual village that the phone number indicates you owe money to prior to giving these people any information.

Phone calls can be rerouted or numbers very similar, as well as messages in this thread can be made from anybody.

The worst thing you can do is assume these people are legitimate and give them your info.  The second worst thing you can do is to assume these people are a scam and ignore them.  Just do you homework if they call you by calling the local police department for the village they claim you owe money to.

But don't believe posters here just because they say this is a scam or is not a scam.  Even people thinking they know the right answers may be incorrect, due to similar phone numbers or incorrect interpretations of information.
