You buy the debt dumb a**!  Get your life stupid. You type and spell like a window licker.  Here is a clue everyone is getting the same info about your lame a** company.  And your so smart, that you give people what they need to pursue legal action against your company!  Yea your a genius !

just because you wrote a bad check does not mean your a bad person, ive done it miscalculating by just a couple dollars so there for you should not lable people as if we are criminals

First off, why does anyone on here correspond with this Stephanie broad?  She obviously has no social skills, is unprofessional when dealing with the public and has no formal education. I received a phone call from 770-464-2500 and when I called back, I talked to a 'Ms. Patterson' who wouldn't answer any questions, but was extremely rude and unprofessional and talking over me.  I finally had to hang up on her because all she did was run her mouth.  I suggest anyone having problems with this company to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which is what I am doing, and to write a letter (with return receipt so that the post office can verify they receive your letter) demanding that they stop contacting you.  A company must cease harassing phone calls if you ask them to stop. Federal and state laws are there to protect you from collection fraud, dishonest collection firms, as well as to make sure you, as a consumer, are treated properly.

I recieved a letter and phone calls with this company as well. I filed a compliant on BBB of Georgia and I have nothing good to say and its all fraud! I gave them papers that they needed and all they do is come back and say I owe them money. Funny they give you no info on the check or company needing the check. Its Stupid for people to demand money, but when asked them to prove it and fax me info I get hung up on! I had 5 conversations with 3 different people at this company and got hung up 3 times. that is not PROFESSIONAL or a way to make me give you money I supposedly owe. I also called the Attornel Generals office in Georgia as well.

contact your state general attornerys office and tfc and bbb. they will all try to help you with this company.

Enjoy!

I just got scammed from this company, after being threatened by them, I panicked because I had closed the bank acct. even though my bank did not send it to collections. They threatened to double the amount the next day. Stupidly, I paid it. Is there any way to recover my money?

I have received a final notice from this company demanding that I pay this amount by a certain day! I called them and they say I wrote a bad check to papa johns in 2009! I have contacted my local papa johns and The bank as well and they both tell me they have never contacte this company to contact me for anything! They also threatened that if I did not pay them they would fill out a warrant application to have myself arrested for not paying my debt! I told them to go ahead and forward it out and good luck doing so! This is such the biggest scam I have heard of! Their old website has been taking of the website saying that this company is phishing for personal information! Here is the website they gave me on the letter head for others to check out! Gacheckcollect@bellsouth.net good luck to all others dealing with this company! I suggest that nobody pay anything to this company they will tell you anything to scare you! Well not happening with me! I know the law! And I have also reported them to my local law enforcement

I had Georgia Check tell me about 2 1/2 years ago that I owed them for a bad check.  It so happened the check was to a diner that we frequented and the owner's and servers know us well.  Come to find out it was all a scam.  I'm glad I did not give them any information.  Now....2 1/2 years late a phone number 1-770-425-8856 calls me...they are called Protocol.  Now they are saying I owe a hospital bill from 4 years ago. I check into things, then I call them back and ask what state they are out of, they do not want to tell me, then finally,.  They tell me Georgia!!!  Same thing, different scenerio.  Watchout for Protocol Collections!!!!!!!

I told them I knew they were a scam and related to Georgia Check, after three people, the last being the so-called Supervisor, he stated they had an A+ rating w/ BBB....I said, Oh no you don't, I already checked, you are not a member!!!!  He argued and finally agreed to take my name off the call list.....so.....we will see!

I received a letter today from GCR. It stated "Final Notice" which was odd as I had not received a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. notice. It stated I had until 3:00pm on June 20th to pay. I called them, before I researched them on the internet. I don't know the mans name I spoke with as he didn't state it nor offer it to me when I asked. He asked for the Acct # which I provided. He stated the company the check was written to,  the check #, the date it was written and the amount they were seeking. He proceeds to tell me it was written on a closed account which is a felony in the state of Tn. This check was written 2 years ago (2010) and yes my account is closed now but it was not in 2010. I told him I would have to call them back. I called the business the check was written at (I actually worked for them when I was younger) and the owner told me they did not do business with this agency nor did they show any record of my having written them a bad check and that he would have called me directly had I of written them one. I did write a bad check in 2010 but at the time it was written I thought the funds were available (I had forgotten to deduct a debit from my account 2 days before), my back covered it, I paid the bank back. etc. But that is the only time I have ever written a bad check. I was told when I called back to speak with Ms. Thompson or Ms. Reagan. Needless to say, I won't be calling them back. The man I spoke with stated if it wasn't paid by the date and time on letter the attorney would pick the debts up at 3:00 on the dot and it would be out of his hands at that point BUT he could hold it till Friday? I thought I had to have it paid by the 27th by 3:00pm ON THE DOT or else I faced felony charges? But he can hold it till Friday which is the 29th so I was left wondering, which one is it? I am glad I found this site and I am going to take the steps others have stated to take to report this company. Had I of written a bad check to the business they claim I had wrote it to I would have picked it up LONG before now.

They are a scam.....google yourself.....and you will find this company is not legit.  Do not be pointing fingers before you research.

whats the matter bout you have to use my initials to make your stupid comment i guess your to embarrassed now to say who you are RIGHT BOUT..
PEOPLE..as you can see the low life debt collector isn't making any money from his dying business.remember when this IDIOT calls you about a bad check you wrote, ask for the date and the law is on bad checks the SOL is only two to three years and that means you don't have to pay this low life IDIOT ANY MONEY AND HE CANT SUE YOU OR LOG ONTO YOUR CREDIT REPORT.
very important if he gives you the date and it happens to be a recent date CALL YOUR BANK AND VERIFY THE DATE...REMEMBER YOUR DEALING WITH A LOW LIFE WHO ISNT MAKING ANY MONEY SO HE WILL LIE TO YOU.
so IDIOT you say i make you laugh,i bet your kicking yourself in the A** right now because you never expected all the info posted on here was hurting your little tiny business and that makes me very happy
HAHAHAHAHA......
remember people he never disputed any info i wrote so now you know it is the law

HA HA HA you make me laugh

PEOPLE....the IDIOT low life sleazy debt collector was deleted from the 800 notes that's because every time he responded all he can say YOUR A DUMB A## so now you can see how much intelligence he has...ZERO..
i believe he is a little kid just graduating high school,,why because he claims he is very good at scamming people out of there money,, a professional scam artist would not even post on here,,i bet he conned somebody out of 10.00 so he thinks he is good HAHAH i bet he cries to his mommy when i call him a IDIOT.
this business check recovery is a dying business..
80% of the people don't use checks anymore
these checks he is trying to collect on is from the mid 1990s and they all pass the SOL that means you don't have to pay this IDIOT..
when you go to a store you have to use a debit card most stores don't even accept a check anymore
if and when he gets a bad check from pizza hut say for 5.00 and he collects then he gets his 15% commission and that is 75 cents so he worked 8 hours and made a total of 56.75.
IDIOT deliver newspapers you would make more money
so the best thing is we got rid of a low life sleazy debt collector who was posting his lies on here
hey little boy go home to your mommy because you cant make it on your own HAHAHA
........................................IDIOT.....................

IDIOT..that's the best you can do,,calling people [removed:lang]
PEOPLE..this IDIOT is a low life sleazy debt collector,this IDIOT wants you to pay him before you pay your rent or buy food for your kids,he doesn't care if your homeless or your kids are hungry.
in my previous post i mentioned the SOL,now the SOL for checks is 2-3 years,not like your credit cards where it can be 6 yeas or more..so check the date of the bad check then check the law of your state and if the SOL has passed you don't have to pay this IDIOT and the IDIOT cant do anything about it.HAHAHA.
if you decide to pay this IDIOT (why i don't know i would call the bank up and pay them).remember do not use your personnel check your banks name and account, routing number is on the check and guarantee next time you go the ATM it will say funds unavailable the low life sleazy debt collector stole your money...tell him your paying with money orders only,, not credit cards and don't use western union i heard you cant trace your money if you use western union..if this IDIOT says we don't accept money orders then you say when you do accept money orders then give me a call and hang up.
remember this IDIOT only gets paid 7.00 an hour and he isn't making any commission and this IDIOT has to work 12 hours to make 100.00 and when he goes home bill collectors are calling him for money and he is so embarrassed,i bet he is getting evicted from his one room apartment and he has to move back with mommy.HAHAHA..

OL BBB  Your a BIG [removed:lang]

hahaha...i don't believe you do not work for gcr and your a low life sleazy debt collector.
i went to BBB.COM typed in gcr and i got 300 companies mostly tire dealers or auto mechanics but not one collection company
yes IDIOT when the SOL passes on a check you do not have to pay it anymore and you cant sue or log onto the credit report,but you can call and ask for payment,not threaten arrest IDIOT.
you can not be arrested for a civil matter..the IDIOT did make one point if you purposely wrote a bad check then you can be arrested,but you have to admit it,if you don't admit it then you cant be arrested
PEOPLE..remember this IDIOT gets paid 7.00 an hour and 15% of what he collects and being most of these debts are VERY OLD this IDIOT isn't making any money so he will come on here and lie to you.that's what low life sleazy debt collectors do
do you know when a debt collector is embarrassed..when debt collectors call him for money HAHAHA
RIGHT IDIOT.

OF COURSE they would jump right in and correct their mistake.  
Because if they didn't, it might be considered legal harassment to continue to call once they've been advised they made a mistake.  
We all know no one would DELIBERATELY HARASS innocent citizens who had the unfortunate luck to get a recycled number from a deadbeat.  
To do so would get them sued, and from what I've been told, if you are the one who initiates that final call that results in a lawsuit, you get canned.  
Too bad we don't live in that world.

Shill alert!!!

So "Stephanie"....you seem to have a lot to say about this person's "charactar" (BTW:  try running spellcheck before you post; makes you look like a moron).  
I guess we know what you do for a living, huh?  Read the rest of the posts, idiot.  Obviously, someone is running a con and using GCR's unblemished (LOL) reputation to rip people off.  
Oh yeah, this website would cut into your income, one way or the other,  wouldn't it?  But don't get your knickers in a knot; there are lots of suckers out there would would think this is a legitimate rebuttal to incorrect information, and not a bogus post from one of the scammers.

no actually georgia check recovery is a real licensed buisness and is licensed to collect in all 50 states.....if your check is within two years you can be prosecuted as a criminal matter (more to that) but you can.....it is however a cival matter and they can charge cival penalty fees as well as any collection fee within a reasonable amt depending on ur state....but I can assure you that this company is for real.....I do not work for them because I know most who read this are going to think so.....but i dont....and the owner is a very upstanding business woman....you should have already paid your HOT CHECK a long time ago when u ate ur pizza or whatever the heck else you bought...technically that is THEFT !!! and depending on the amount of the check could be GRAND THEFT...so you need to read up....Their checks just dont mysterisouly appear as bad and if you had been balancing your checkbook you would have already taken care of the issue before it got to this point. Now take care of your responsilities ....there is not statute of limitations on collections you can collect on somethin gfrom 1980 if you so choose...wouldnt advise it but you can.....

Now you wanna talk about a fradulant company....check out GATEWAY RETRIEVAL!!!!!  i do believe that they have a website....take old folks money that they already PAID!!!!  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gateway-Retrieval/111641742248603......http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Gatewa ... ayretrieval.com

Georgia Check Recovery Phone Call

A women called my house tonight looking for my neighbor. After explaining the person doesn't live here and that this was my neighbor she was looking to speak with, she asked if I could leave my neighbor a message.

I said that I would not!  (I assume that she was going to ask me to write down a number for my neighbor to call her back?)

I decided to research this company and realized this is a SCAM!

* I now will leave my neighbor that message: To ignore Georgia Check Recovery!

THIS COMPANY SENT ME A LETTER SAYING THAT THEY WERE CONTACTING ME ABOUT A INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR THAT I COULDNT REMEMBER. BE CAREFUL THEY JUST WANT MONEY.

more than likely they used a skip tracing software to locate a phone number that was attached to the individual that they were looking for...I am sure that it was a honest mistake and i am sure they removed your number

By the way, they are NOT BBB accredited.  Anybody who reads this and has received any of their threatening or harrassing phone calls that have violated the Fair Credit Collection Act, please go to bbb.gov and file a complaint if it is truly legitimate (check the Fair Credit Collection Act first).  The company is in the system, in Georgia.  They have harrassed my family for over a month (illegal), disclosed personal information to them (illegal), and left phone calls from so-called 'process servers' saying someone will come to my home (soooo illegal).  If you have documented proof, recordings of illegal phone calls, etc., I urge you to contact the Georgia State's Attorney and ask them how to go about filing a suit against them.  If anything, Stephanie's attrocious spelling and grammar ought to be illegal.  She's clearly a piece of trash benefiting from others' hardships.

They will say the same thing every time you call them, "This is scheduled for action on friday...." They are abrupt, won't let you talk, won't negotiate, and will charge you several times more than the amount you owe. They also wait at least a year or so to start trying anything in the hope that you will have forgotten about the debt or it will be so far in the past that you think you may have accidentally slipped up and just pay them. They threaten arrest, are rude, and will leave you shaking when you get off the phone with them. Just contact who you supposedly owe the debt to and try to manage it that way. Also, report them to the BBB for their debt collection practices. Do handle any bad checks you may have written, but DON'T fall for their scare tactics.

@Stephanie You've done a wonderful job representing the company you work for (GCR). Way to go sounding professional and demonstrating to the world the kind of low life, scam artists that work there. Get a job and grow up? lol The previous writer didn't say she was not working. It's obvious that they must hire completely inept people to perform their dirty work. Hopefully, one day you will get a REAL job and stop acting so 'holier than thou." Do you know what that means? It means you think you are better than others, darling. But I have a secret to tell you....you sit down to s*** just like the rest of us.

You are absolutely right - the "defends" of GCR work there.  Donna, Stephanie, and probably Becca too -

I believe the people taking up for this company actually work for Georgia Check Recovery. I've had a checking account for 8 years. I had one return check and the bank paid the check. Then took it out of my direct deposit. So, with that I know I don't have a returned check. But yet, Georgia Check Recovery says I have a returned check from 2008. This is a scam. People taking up for Georgia Check Recovery are part of the scam to get us to pay.

Stephanie - please answer this one.

My daughter received a phone call from this company - asking for someone that she doesn't even know.  She let me listen to the voicemail and I called back.  Told them the phone number they called and supposely they are to remove her phone number.  If this is in regards to bounce checks - how did they get her number????????????

Do not want calls from this number again
