Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."

You reap what you sow and he will regret the day he challenged me in court! So help me GOD!

Professional people DO NOT practice law without a license! I do carry a recorder around with me.

The total you can collect is $1000.00 but I had an attorney (Mark Meinhardt) and even my own attorney screwed me! I had to handle my own case after my attorney (without my knowledge) settled it where I would pay $2740.00. I was once a paralegal/investigator and I got my $1000.00 for about $3,000.00 worth of work!

Thanks for the info! About to tackle this dude!

They agreed to take $50 monthly payments beginning 5/17-my checking account was garnished for $130 more than the small claims judgement from 2/15. They got $115, my bank charged me $50, and actually advised me to empty my account. I am callung them tomorrow and also filing complaints, calling Douglas County Court....they could have had almost half of the amount due by now, so their motives are NOT collection.

Funny, must be an employee?

I have been sending in the agreed upon payment every month on time for the last 18 months. Today I went to withdraw money from my bank account and was told there was a garnishment against it by Hollins and the $1200 dollars in the account I could not  access. I don't know how I am going to pay my rent and utilizes let alone pay the other medical bills I have.  My car insurance is due and my car needs repairs. I am closing my account and paying with money orders from now on. I am really worried about my next pay check I just hope I can stop the direct deposit before next pay day.

Kent Hollins is a low life scum bag he took 500.00 out of my son's account that is under 18 just because my name was on his acct. they took it. After that they got into my mom's acct from her funeral that we put up and took 600.00 out of that acct because I was a co signer on that and I was the first to sign it then the rest of my family signed after me they said it was legal. That they wouldn' t of been able to do it if I hadn't of signed it first.  I just happened to be the closest to the banker it shouldn't matter who signed first or last. These bills are from St Francis which is supposed to be a charity hospital I tried contacting them they said it was to old to get any help.These bills have all acquired after a bad motorcycle accident that has left me disabled Hollins didn't care to here about my accident or taking my son's money and dead mothers money that was put up for bills that were to be paid.I would still like to know if it was illegal for him to do that.And if it was karma is a killer you will get your own some day.

They took me to court when I was 7 months pregnant. I offered to pay them $60/month. They told me that wasn't feasible and they would just garnish my wages. I then contacted their office multiple times with out a response from them. I called today in an attempt to once more offer as much as my budget could possibly stretch with a three-week old baby. They informed me that my account has been court ordered for wage garnishment and there's nothing more they will do except to garnish up to 25% of my wages. At that rate, I won't even have enough money to purchase diapers for my newborn let alone pay rent. Thank you Kent Hollis for screwing me. I hope your children get to eat.

Thank you for the info. I am going to follow through with this SCUM attorney,. If they thought I was blowing smoke this morning when I told them I will not let him get away with this...they are sadly mistaken. I coming after you Hollins with all I got!

The same thing happened to me. They garnished all the money in my checking acct. because my son's name was on my acct. I had arrangements with them & I forgot. I am human. I was 2 weeks late. I called them & no one called me back. Next week, they took all my money. Now I won't get paid for another 11 days. I don't know what I am going to do for food & where I am getting the gas money to get to work.
They are unfeeling & don't care at all. They are cold-hearted human beings (if you can call them that). Someone has to put a stop to this a##hole! I am going to do my best to bring him down. The shocking part to all this is that Saint John's Hospital in Leavenworth sends their accounts to this scum bag. What goes around, comes around. Karma's a bit##!

I will gladly work with people who are nice and courteous on the phone, but if I call him back and he is an a**hole to me I will slam the phone in his ear!  I WILL NOT work with rude people.

I have an 800 number you can call it is; 1-800-219-0102

yes he will he did it to us

This happened to me too. They just stopped taking it out and tried to blame it on me. I threatened legal action and it was returned - two weeks later.

This is not true, they do not call and offer reminders.

unethical, underhanded, dishonest. there are reviews all over the 'net to confirm that H Kent Hollins (aka Collection Bureau of Kansas) will negotiate terms and then not honor their side of them. avoid any business that uses this collection agency.

I did the same thing. I filed complaint with the BBB, Kansas State Attorney General's Office, and was suddenly treated very differently. Hollins employees lie and will never own their own mistakes. They negotiate terms and then ignore them. It is the worst business I've ever encountered in my life.

it is true that this collection agency will agree to terms, say you didn't meet the terms, and try to screw you over. if you believe that the positive comments listed are real, search reviews for H Kent Hollins on local.yahoo.com and see.

F*** kent hollins in his a***ole hard!!!!

Wat a fukk! 5 yr old bill that was paid 3 years ago, wants paid again. I'd spend 5k to avoid paying h kent hollins twice. Crooked piece of s***, hope he dies tomorrow!

That Attorney can be easily put out of business by filing a complaint with the Kansas State Supreme Court Disciplinary Board.  It might very easily cost him his license to practice.  The people at the Disciplinary Board are quite friendly and will get you the necessary complaint forms in person or they are available at the disciplinary board's website.

I have been getting the same calls and they are for other people KENT STOP CALLING ME I DISLIKE YOU AND EVERY ONE WHO WORKS FOR YOU. I get charged by the calls in and out and I do believe it is illegal to be calling cell phones as well as mine is unlisted how do you call someone who does not even live in your state r area?

This number calls my kids' cell phone and leaves no message. They know not to answer calls for anyone other than family, but it's still inappropriate for debt collectors to be calling kids who have no debt (and it has been years since anyone else had the number).

What is a solution to this type of harrassment and when does it surpass the fair debt collection act?
Complaints are true that they verbally agree with you but still pursue measures outside of the agreement.
Does anyone really have a solution or is this just a complaint that we all have together?

I paid them off and they still are calling me and I owe them zero.

It was a small bill from a relocation issue. Mail item never seen.

So any class action lawyers want to step on board?

Way to go, getting people to post for you, Kent.

Are you INSANE????? They may be nice to you but they are going after people who don't have these bills they are talking about. They were true a**holes when I called and don't even have their sh*t together. The collection letter they sent to my employer says one thing but when i called to sort it out they told me a completely different thing. They are NOT good people. They ARE crooks!

They've never been a***oles to me.  For the person who said they've never been to Providence, there are family practices in the extended Kansas City metro (i.e. Leavenworth) whose doctors bill through providence.  If they say you owe them money, ask to whom you owe the money and how much.  Then call that doctor's office or hospital to find out what the charges were for.
