I received a call from a delta group saying that they have left several messages and were very stern that I need to return the call.The bad part is that I only received this call and that they are asking for me by my nick name not my legal name. So this sent  a red flag up and so this must be a Co. that preys on people that dont know their rites BEWARE OF THIS Co report them to Consumer Affairs in your state as unfair collection Tatics

I Have been getting random calls and text's from this person they have been sending bad, and disturbing text messages they have been calling me a 4 in the morning and also i have tried to call them back when i finally got ahold of them they were said they were my friend and they loved me and i do not know who they are and i would like to get them off of my phone list and if they want something from me to leave me alone!!! It has not been a company calling me it is the number 1701-204-3160.

They have been calling me and my husband for a month now.  They said he owes  Sprint over a thousand dollars from way before we ever met or married.  They also went so far to say if we did pay they would take everything we have.  I told them I wasn't married to him back in 2001 and they told me it didn't matter because I live in NC so they can sue me too.  What's funny is the phone number they are talking about is my in laws and it is still in service.  Call me crazy but usually if your phone bill gets that high they cut it off... What out for this company.

Delta Group
716-204-3160

They started  calling job leaving messages on everybodies voice mail something don't have stating that I owe them money for a car which was totaled out. Thier calling saying its the Delta Group llc 716-204-3161 these are numbers on caller id. I told them to send me some info in the mail and they never sent and called my job again and I  said your rep was suppose too send me info now this is 3 wks later and 2 days after that I recieved a fake letter in the mail so I call federal info,attorney general an d filed a complaint. BE CAREFUL OF THESE PEOPLE 716-204-3160,716-204-3172

I did a reverse look kup and cam  up as Choice one communications.  This is a phone and internet business for other business.  Who the hell are these people, they should be arrested for not only calling but for flat out lying.

Bud Says?

Here we go (again!) another Buffalo, NY  debt collector using every ruse in the book to hide who they really are.

NYS Corporation listings show:

JOSEPH, ORTIZ & EPSTEIN, LLC

However they are operating as ?DELTA GROUP? in spite of not registering that name.

These are VERY bad debt collectors, calling consumers on debts that are too old to collect on, litigate on, or even give them valid reason for accessing your credit files. Are owners Tim Manhard and Joe Colisimo encouraging collectors to violate federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)? Consumers tell us they have a history of representing that they are lawyers.

We could find NO state licensing or bonding anywhere in the nation, as required by law, to collect a debt.

Owners Timothy Manhard, whose last known address is/was, listed on the incorporation papers as:

51 SUNSHINE DRIVE
AMHERST, NEW YORK, 14228  
(His number is disconnected)

They are NOT lawyers, NOT connected with any law group, despite their claims to the contrary.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM JOSEPH, ORTIZ & EPSTEIN, LLC, dba/DELTA GROUP!

These people have called me several times,the first time they represented themselves as the I.R.S. When I told them they were mistaken.Today I was told that I will be facing a 10,000 dollar lawsuit.First contact was with Sue Hill and she turned me over to a smart-mouthed would be tough guy,after several minutes of his guff I hung up.

These people are frauds and need to be stopped!!!

I have done some research on this and the company Delta Group is a collection agent located in Cheektowaga, NY at 3846 Harlem Road aip is 14215.
According to the FTC Fair Debt Collection Act, they are not allowed to use these tactics and should definately be reported to the FTC and the BBB in Buffalo NY.  This is the only way to help stop these types of companies

I recieved a call from 866 264 8381 caller said her name was Sandra , asking for me stating she is calling in regards to some "COURT PAPERS", what the heck, I have not done anything for a call to come to my house.  What's the deal with this?  Anyone have an idea?  This is very disturbing.

THIS JERK ALSO CALLED ME USING MY SISTEER AS " A PERSOM OF INTEREST" HE WAS VERY NICE THE FIRST TIME HE CALLED ME AND THE SECOND TIME HE WAS VERY NASTY HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

This company called me and left message on my home phone then called my brother harassing him saying that I had a court summons...a fraud case involving social security.  In the message they left me they stated it had to do with social security case.  I called the number 8662648384 - got the woman's name Sondra Collins.  (It was a Debbie who left a message for me) I told them they I am named the name they are looking for.  She asked me if I knew anything about litagation.  I told her alll I knew was that it is something with the law....Then She told me that I signed a contract with someone and it was unfulfilled.  Well I let her have.  First by law you can only speak to the person's name on the account.  Second when my brother called them back she told him it was a fraud involved my ss number.  I told her what she is doing is illegal and I have the messages saved.  I also told her that for debt collection with these tactics I could turn her in to the Attorney General.  She told me they were not a collection agency.  I asked if she was wanting money...then she said maybe she had the wrong case and put me on hold... it then rang over to a voicemail for a Susan Mill who I told I was turning the info in to the attorney general.  I do have old debt out there but I have no idea how this woman got my brother's number.  They claim it was from an application.
Anyway the main number is the one I listed there.  i will also put the number that came up on caller Id

As a collection agency, they cannot legally say they are sending the laws. I would turn them in to the Federal Trade Commission.

They called me as well stating that an "asset verification is being performed verifiying all assests associated with your SS# and addresss. We would like you to respond filing a letter of intent with us. Please call Debbie at 866-264-8381 and refer to case number xxxxxxxxxx" when I called the number on my caller ID using a cell phone some one picked up and then muted the phone. I hung up and called back. This time the person was unsuccessful at muting the phone and I heard her say " quick trace this call" I didnt give them any chance to do so. At no time did they attempt  to identify themselves.

They called me as well, stating to settle a litigation from beneficial, i said i cant pay, the girl said it shows i have several credit cards with high limits in which i could use. I dont have any credit cards with high limits, only 2 with very small limits and they are nearly maxed. They threatended litigation as well. What a scam!

These people called asking for my husband saying he was a victim of identity theft. When I answered they really wanted to speak to me about my ex husband. They didn't realize that my ex was an abuser who has stalked me for years. Now the police in my state AND the police in Buffalo NY. are involved and are investigating since they did not identify themselves as a credit agency. Instead they told me they were private investigators and in law enforcement.

THIS NUMBER IS A BUNCH OF CRAP, THREATENING IDENTITY THEFT AND LITIGATION.  IT'S AMAZING WHAT COLLECTION AGENCIES WILL SAY AND DO..LIKE THIS "HOLLA" SAYING SUCH STUPID CRAP....YOU KNOW HE'S SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR THIS STUPID COMPANY........I GUESS EVERYONE NEEDS A JOB..

Be suspicious of this company trying to contact you, do not give any personal information.. sounds like a hoax... do not fall for the legal ramblings, I believe this is to scare you into giving them information.

My Mom has received several phone calls from this same company trying to locate my father.. They have been divorced now for over 10 years, why they have her number who knows.. Same thing with the legal terms about case numbers and so on.. I have no idea why they are trying to locate my father, does sound very suspicious...

They called twice in the last two days and left messages for me asking for personal information for another person that has my same last name.  In the message they used a lot of legal terms and said that the person of interest had authorized me to release the information they were requesting.  Now that person of interest happens to be my brother that doesn't live with me and he has not authorized anybody to request that info.  I don't think they know he is my brother.  They just looked for the same last name in the phonebook.  Too bad my last name is not Smith!

I got a call from this number it showed up as Delta Group. They wanted me to verify all sorts of information for them stating it was for the IRS that the IRS needed a statement about an old debt from 2001. I said I did not know their company and I was not comfortable giving any info over the phone to a company I had never heard from before ans she said "maybe you'll be more comfortable when a sheriff comes to the door" and hung up

I GOT A CALL FROM 716-204-3161 TONITE. HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL MESSAGES URGING ME TO CALL BACK AT THREAT OF LEGAL ACTION BEING TAKEN AGAINST ME IF I DIDN'T. I NEVER PAID THEM ANY ATTENTION. TONITE WHEN THEY CALLED AND WERE INFORMED THAT I WAS NOT IN, THEY SAID THAT "THE SHERIFF WOULD BE COMING FOR ME." I REFUSED TO GIVE IN TO THEIR SCARE TACTICS! THIS IS A BILL COLLECTOR AND NOT A VERY GOOD ONE AT THAT. THEY TRY TO FRIGHTEN UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE INTO RETURNING THEIR CALLS. PLEASE BEWARE, AND DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!
