Sheri, you need to return my call today! My number is ...

They called 5 times in a row!!!  And then finally left the voice mail

@ sick of crap replies to PC on 9 Aug 2012 "Statue of limitations is 7 years.. tell her to go screw herself.. After 7 years, your debts are null and void."

FOLKS, THAT REPLY IS MOSTLY CORRECT.  AFTER 7 YEARS THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS IS OVER AND LEAGALLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY OLD DELINQUENT/OVER DUE ACCOUNTS.  THEY CANNOT GRANISH YOUR PAY (THAT IS ILLEGAL)... EVEN THOU THEY SAY THEY WILL.  IT IS ALL BULLSH*T... DON'T FALL FOR IT.  DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME TALKING TO THEM, YOU HAVE NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DO SO.  IF YOUR DEBT IS OLDER THAN 7 YEARS, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR... YOU HAVE THE UPPER HAND ON THESE COMPANIES TRYING TO FOOL YOU WITH THIER GAMES.  SEND THEM NOTHING.  IF YOU DO, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY VALIDATE THE DEBT.  JUST HANG UP ON THEM AND THEN PROGRAM THEIR PHONE NUMBER INTO YOUR CELL PHONE OR HOUSE PHONE CALLER ID AS "SCAM CALL" OR "ROBO CALL."  THIS WAY, WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBER AGAIN... JUST LET THAT BABY GO TO VOICEMAIL AND THEN DELETE IT.  NEVER SPEAK TO THESE PEOPLE.

AS FAR AS THEM HAVING SS#, ETC., DON'T SWEAT IT.  THEY ARE NOT THAT HARD TO GET FOR LEGIT REASONS. MOST OF THESE COMPANIES ARE LEGIT IN THAT THEY ARE LICENSED TO COLLECT DEBTS... BUT NOT OLD ONES.  SO STOP FREAKING OUT AND MAKE A GAME OF IT.

tell them u will be contacting ur lawyers and let them deal with it and that should get them to stop it did for me and if that dosent do it contact a lawyer and see what they say

they haven't stopped calling.  i got a call today, here in NJ, for my son who doesn't leave here.  not only that he doesn't even KNOW my home phone number and would't give it out if he did..  it appears they may have been stopped in CO but they've now spread out nationwide

they call me and i believed them at first but then after the first payment went out to them and all i started to think more about it since the charge was from 04 and all. they called my work and all told me the same stuff of garnishments and everything told me my social and all the places i lived at. told me they sent a letter that i never got and told me i owed 4000 but if i pied them 1300 they would lie to everyone else i should have known something was up and all right then but i had a brain fart and that was Friday. well today i called them and when i told them i didn't get the email and all they were suppose to send me and all they said they sent it to the wrong email then they sent me the email and all. when i told them i was not paying anything more after 500 was deducted from my bank and i was getting a lawyer to deal with this they got irate and all i called my bank and my bank is doing a investigation cancelled the card i gave them and all. they asked if i would prosecute them and i said i will this is a scam don't do what i did and fall for there tactics run run run i will be calling co and seeing who i need to talk to to get this ended. this is the email they sent me

second call now, asking for somebody with the last name of Abdullah.. Damn.. No freakin Abdullah here.. Ive had this cell # for 4 years... No one uses it but me.. One call last week, came from 336-542-5851 from a Mr. Jackson... I have a Sprint cell phone, so that # went on my BLOCKED LIST.. I get another call today, from 719-547-4829, from Colorado.. Didnt answer that # either, since I dont know anyone in Colorado. Leaves a message looking, also, for, once again... same broad with the last name of ABDULLAH...Now wants me to call 866-664-6473.. In your dreams....BOTH of those #s, also.. went on the blocked list..

GO TO HELL... the dumbass broad who had this #, no longer has this #, AND HASNT for at least FOUR YEARS.. ..HELLO????... Now, dumbasses # 2, are calling an innocent person, who doesnt owe a damn dime, never did, and doesnt know any ABDULLAH, to boot..and here is are the buzz words..IM NOT HER.......

Everytime the b*****ds call, I just put the # on blocked...Im not her, dont know her, dont want to, and unfortunately got stuck with HER old cell phone #... PLEASE remember folks, 7 years the statue of limitations is up, and supposedly that debt is null and void..... Its only good for the IRS and the goverment.....After 7 years your bill is history.. Keep that in mind.. And never give anyone your name, or your #.. and esp NOT your S # for anything, period..

statue of limitations is 7 years.. tell her to go screw herself.. After 7 years, your debts are null and void..

They had also called me today and I'm a paralized man in a nursing home ........ The lady that called was name Maria!

I keep receiving harrassing phone calls from this company saying I need to pay or they will sue me and garnish my paychecks.

Thanks!

please do not listen to these people, they are scam artist............they called me today 7/3/2012 with the same load of threats... when I called back at all the numbers I got from here, they would just hang up on me. do not be afraid, do not listen, in fact I turned the tables on them and they were tired of me calling... lol.. scam artist... call Ftc and report them..... do not fall for this crap.

Got same call from KB & Associatevyesterday where a man knew all my info including my entire ss#. Quite upsetting thats for sure.Then transferred me to Karen Kelly a so called para-legal that was beyond rude that stated if I didnt make payment arrangement they would start garnishments asap. Not gonna get much! LOL I asked for proof and told her I would be contacting my attourney if she didnt provide me with it and she quickly hung up. When i called back they answered the telephone with a "Hello" wow real professional scammers. And stated they couldnt speak to me bc I was seeking legal council, unless I wanted to make a payment that day. Very sad that people stoop this low but this is how some people get through life, jacking people over. Just glad I found this blog that I wasnt the only person approached by these idiots! Scary that they have all of our info, thanks to the web. Guess there are pro and cons of the wild web! BEWARE SCAMMER WE R COMING 4 U!!!!!

I just got a phone call from them to telling me that there was a court order coming to my house within 10 days if i didnt give them 100 today and 398 in 30 days for a credit card that was opend in 2005 and closed 2008. Is this really a scam or should i be concern that i'm going to get a court order. She was pretty much bagging me to give her the 100 dollars so that she could help me out? it just didnt seem right

Just got a call asking for a man by name. I told him he must have the wrong number.  He said, "You don't know J F?"   And I said, "No."

Later I realized it was a boyfriend of my daughter's from 4 years ago.  I called them back and told them I believed it was he they were inquiring about. I never met him.  

She asked how they had my number and I said that was why I was calling them back - to find out how they got my number.

She said she would remove my number from their database.  They had better!

WOW I am so happy I did not give them my card number.  Said I was sued back in 2008 for my wifes wedding ring I bought when I was in the Navy, 10 years ago and they were to collect the debt, which in ten years I never heard about, and if I couldnt pay, they would garnish my account.  They almost had me until they said something about account, I dont have a bank account so I told them to kiss my @$$ and garnish whatever account they think they had of mine.  My wife called it.... she said it was a scam from the first 2 mins of the phone call... Im not a real naive person, but damn they ALMOST had me.  Too bad a person can't figure out who it is doing this and shut em down!  But now I am very concerned that my Identity has been stolen, I have been noticing some strange things on my FB and other things..  HMMMMM.....

They just called me 10 times in a row!

My husband received a call from these people today while working. They told him that a warrant for his arrest was being processed based off an account that was charged off years prior by the company they said they were representing. They told him they had contacted his former employer at Fort Bragg to get his current contact information. They even went as far as saying they had contacted his parents a month ago and we now owe this money from a jewelry account he opened years ago because they sent out their paperwork needed to notify him of this debt. My husband willingly sent them $50 today and set up a payment arrangement with them for $700 next week. I went online and started researching this company that doesn't exist and the illegal threats that they made to my husband. According to The Federal Trade Commission debt collectors may not use profanity, garnishment threats they have no intention of acting on, or threats of having the person arrested. DON'T GET SCAMMED like my husband. Research first then pay your debts.

My fiance got a call from them yesterday telling him that one of their lawyers had garnished our debt for an engagment ring and he was being charged 2700 and they wanted him to pay 100 on friday and then another 100 a week later and it would be settled, funny thing was they were very perfessional and they didnt fuss just really stressed him to give them his card number, which he did. but then called back to cancel and they were very non chalant about the whole thing like they didnt care because they had gotten his account. Well, my mother decided to call them back they were closed at 10 o'clock in the morning? Coinscidence? I think not, I'm sure it was a FRAUD what worries me though is how they get all of that information... I hope someone reports them and they get what they deserve.

WE JUST GOT THE SAME CALL. GIVING ME AND MY WIFES SSN AND EVERYTHING. TELLING ME ALL ABOUT MY PAST  AND MY WIFES INFO BUT GOT PISSED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ASK ABOUT MY FILE. FFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDD. THE # IS 1-719-547-4829

Please contact the District attorney in Pueblo, Colorado and report this fraudulent activity.  Also, you might want to call KOAA news or KKTV news or KRDO news so they will broadcast this over the news and warn others.  Once it becomes widely known hthat this is a scam, these people will have to stop the scams in this region.  It would be nice of they could be caught though.  There are some really scary people everywhere these days.

Nothing exists at this address.  It is the back of a used car lot and is empty!  Google has this address as a barber shop, but nothing of the sort is actually there.  I have physically driven by this address.

This address is only a post office type box, or mailbox, at a place that helps pack boxes for mailing and provides photocopies - the actual business is called Post-Net.  This so called "debt-collection" business is obviously totally bogus and they should be reported to the attorney general's office in Colorado.

Well I'm the only gullible idiot on here it seems that fell for their threats and harassment. This Karen Kelly was beyond belligerent and very fast talking she had only the last 4 of my new husbands? social # and then proceeded to threaten to garnish not only our checking but my husband?s wages. She had only the name of our past address and of course my husbands? name. She warned me that if I didn't pay $2,500.00 right then and there that she was going to tell the unnamed law firm to proceed with the garnishments. She also lied and said it was for a student loan and that he had signed a waiver of venue which negated any and all of his rights to protest or defend himself from with legal intervention. I was then transferred to their paralegal also by the name of Amanda and she started threatening $15,000 because of interest on the loan but if I would pay $200.00 now and $2372.00 that their agency would call the unnamed law firm and lie to them telling them that we had made the payment and all would be resolved and it was a bargain to have it settled and paid in full for only $2572.00 instead of the $15,000.00. She also said that if we didn't have the money now that they would proceed and start garnishment for the full supposed judgment amount. Then without a pause she made the offer of paying $100.00 a month until the full $15,000 was paid and she would stop the garnishment. I have three names of the people I spoke with, Cynthia (Credit Manger), Amanda (Paralegal), and Karen Kelly the fast talking, mean lady that I talked to first and she then transferred me to the supposed paralegal. I received an email from them of the settlement letter that even had several grammatical errors misspelled word and the amount I had just paid and the amount I still owed, which was we were required to paid by the 17th or we would be in default and they would proceed with the garnishments. I have copied and pasted that email below.

Received a call this evening from this number. they answered the phone with a standard "Hello" greeting, as if I were calling a friend. I told them I had received a call asking for a call back, they asked for my number, then said I was being transferred to their legal dept., that woman answered the phone with "yes?". I said, "you all don't answer phones very professionally there, do you?" She instantly got an attitude, then proceeded to tell me she couldn't help me, and said " don't call my office again". I told her "then don't call my house again!" Then I looked up the phone number and found this page. The bad thing about all of this is, I received a new bank card 2 weeks ago with a letter from the bank explaining that a new card was issued because my account information may have been compromised. Additionally, when they left the message on my machine to call them back, they used my entire name (first, middle and last). No one even uses my first name, let alone my entire name.

I received a call from KB Associates as well about a debt that was charged off my credit report nearly 15 years ago. Amazingly, she had all of my personal information - social security number, addresses, a copy of my credit report, my husband's information. The first person I spoke with immediately transferred me to the "paralegal" who gave me two alternatives for paying this bill. When I told her we didn't have the money she told me she couldn't help me. I asked her to mail me some information about this and she said she couldn't help me. But that if I would agree to pay she would recall my account.  I asked her what that meant and she said she would write the attorney and tell him that I was agreeing to pay the account off independently. She also told me that they had forwarded this judgment that she said was executed in 2003 to the credit bureaus 36 days ago, but she knew they hadn't put it on yet. But she could stop it from getting on my credit report if I would pay. She refused  to send me anything in writing. She just kept saying she couldn't help me. She also became evasive when I began asking questions about the company.

There are illegal ways to acquire someone's info. It's not a matter of not wanting to pay, but we are not going to just hand out money for no reason. And you really need to go back to school, your grammar is offensive.

You know you ppl just don't want to pay your bills. You to know it's a run to owe money. Scam? What? Did they wake up and get yalls info? No I don't think so. When they prove it's y'all debt y'all still don't pay. So learn to pay your bills

The caller I.D says KB associates

The caller ID says KB Associates.  Tried to find the company on the internet and no luck.  Person stated was an acquisitionfirm for collection agency but why can I not find information on them.

I received the same call this evening, about a debt my husband got before I even met him. The caller tried to stte that they were "seizing" our bamk account, and going to take all our money. When I took the phone from my husband, I asked the opertor, to provide proof of the debt, and thats where it went sour. I told her that per the FAIR DEBT COLLECTIONS ACT that without proof of judgement, that they cant take anything from any account we have. I asked her to provide proof of delivery for any letter or summons concerning a judgement, she then says " Do not call this office back" and hangs up. I called the number back and got a Ms. Kelly, who then tried to chew me out like a child. I basically told her to tke a leap. The number is listed for a colorado collection agency, but I am in illinois, and never even been to colorado....anyone out there know where we can get some help to deal with these people?

I just received a call from KB Associates requiring me to confirm my husbands SS# and yes they had the entire SS# correct. I information the lady I could not confirm his SS# unless I knew what she wanted, who she was, who she worked for and what their company did. She stated she would get her supervisor (paralegal) that was working on the file to speak with me. OMG...when the other lady got on the phone she was very fast, angry, and evasive.

She stated::: The company was KB Associates and they confirm for attorney's in NC employment records and SS# for the purpose of "Discovery". She kept repeating the SS# and wanted or better yet really expected me to confirm. I asked her what attorney's office and what why did they need to confirm my husbands SS#. I refused to confirm until I understood who they were, what they did and why they were calling. The more questions I asked the angrier she got. She then told me that they would get back in touch with the attorney and proceed with wage garnishments. Then she ask if I was....she did have my entire name correct also.

Something just wasn't right about this call and there was no way I was going to give out or confirm my husbands SS# over the phone to someone I did not do, do business with and was evasive and angry towards me.

Guess we'll have to wait and see what this is all about. I'm glad I researched the company name. Oh, I did ask for the address as well and was given the 3606 Morris Ave. which has been listed above.
