Called several times looking for Donald Cherms.  I told them he was moved back to California and in an institution , they called me a liar.  Need them to quit calling me..

Called asked for - birthday - address -  social security number and proof of residence.
When asked who was calling said Greystone Mangement.  When asked what reason stated it
was a personl matter.  When asked what personal matter, not say or who they worked for.
I told them not to call back .  Will not give info without info!  Searched number said it was a debt
collector. Do not know if true?

I agreed to pay a collections account with Greystone Alliance. I gave a credit card for the payment to be charged to monthly. I got looking at the statement and I noticed I have been charged 7.95 convenience fee every month since January of this year. I looked at the FDCPA and under it says that extra fees that are not in the original contract are not allowed. Do i have any action here under the FDCPA?

I got a call from these clowns specifically the guy on other end of call was Gabriel. He was trying to be my buddy claimed to be an attorney but as soon as I started asking questions to validated debt and asked for some paperwork to back his claims that I owed thousands of dollars (12K to be exact ) the little punk started in with cursing, threats and name calling, telling me ?he would trash my credit and tell everyone in my family what a dead beat? I was. I said ?Go for it punk my parents and sister are deceased don?t got no kids so who do you think you are going to tell? My ex wife whose a bigger leach on society than you!" I then told him NOT to call again he just broke every fair debt collections practice FDCPA there is and in combination with 'the lack of information he had on me to validate the debt he is yet another scum sucker scammer."  I am fed up with these crooks harassing people!

Well they've reached across the Pacific Ocean and have started calling Hawaii!  Called my number, awaking my 3 y/o grandson from nap --I didn't recognize name on caller ID so didn't answer, but found all these posts when I goggled their 716-218-4861 number.  Thanks to all for your helpful info.

They are calling my husband's extremely elderly grandparents repeatedly - harassing them!  I don't even know what this debt is for.  The contact person they are leaving on their answering machine is Allie Greystone and the callback number is 716-218-4874.

These people are calling my mother, who has alzheimers, repeatedly, asking for money.  I've emailed the attorney general for the state of Florida to report them as this is a scam.  They tell her she owes thousands of dollars.  This has to stop

An Alicia Greystone calls and asks for my husband but can't pronounce his name so I know she doesn't know him.  she call sfrom 716-218-4872.,  Clearly up to no good.

They've changed their name again!

Jeff King, Mr. Green and Corey, now from Shonberg and Associates located at 255 Great Arrow Drive
Buffalo, New York 14222. They also call from these number 1(855)-812-6291 & 702-979-4236. They are a fake law firm that threatens legal action and jail time if they do not receive payment in full. They pretend to be the last ditch effort before you end up in jail. Don't trust them or pay them any money, they are lying crooks. If you do in fact owe a debt, contact that original company.

From a Mr. Alrich? saying that this is froma debt collector call

I unsure who are why someone is calling me from this number .

Called and didn't bother to leave a message.  I think it's kind of rude when unknown numbers don't leave messages.

Waking me up at 6:30 AM is not acceptable.Was looking for someone with same last namenot me.

Got a message from a Mr. Donaldson from Greystone Alliance, a debt collector.

someone called me from this number asking for someone that I dont know and insisted that they called befor and were told by someone on this end the they were the daughter of the person they were looking for. they were rude and acted as if I was not being truthful.

Just got a call from this person today.  They left a message, said they were a bill collector (I'm not aware of any bills I have outstanding).  Deleted message.  Didn't return call.

called back, indicated that it was a generic call and they have no way of taking ur number out. What bologna! and how irritating....incompetent and next time just ignore their call....

Greystone Alliance is NOT licensed or registered in our state.

Scam - this company has a very long rap sheet for not legally owning the debt they are collecting, and, are are affiliated with many other similar "scam" agencies in the Buffalo NY area, and may be Capital Management Services Inc. under another name.

Also, it may not be legal for them to collect in your state, and they legally MUST send a dunning letter within 5 day of first contact  (according to FDCPA or Fair Debt Collection Practices Act). Keep record.

If they are calling family members and friends, send them a drop dead letter - this puts them on the legal defensive. Example:http://credit.about.com/od/debtcollection/a/ceaseanddesist.htm
Google - cease and desist letter debt collection

Good Luck!

They called looking for my sister-in-law.  Actually they called my house, my cell, my wife's cell, my parents home and my in-law's home looking for info.  Didn't leave any messages.  My father happened to be home when they called.  He said the guy on the phone acted like he knew my sister-in-law, said he knew us & needed to get in touch with her.  Besides the fact my father didn't have the info, years of being a cop/detective raised appropriate suspicion.... I only wished they ould have called him a second time :-)  My question is the legality of the tactics, misrepresentation, obtaining the unlisted phone numbers, etc.
