Just received a call from a national company claiming to be retained by a Mr. Wood, whoms number is a sprint nextel number in Arlington, Texas, to do an asset investigation or whatever for my husbands business. Said he was sending out a PI to take pictures of the property and and such. He gave a name of a law firm of Berstein, Gold and Silverman. I looked on the web and cannot find this company. He gave a case number and everything. When he said he was a national company hired to do this I figured he was scamming. I said what is this pertaining to he just repeated hisself. I told him it sounds like you're trying to scare him bu telling him what you're looking into. I wanted something in writing from this "Mr. Wood" stating the nature of this investigation and he said you don't know the law and he can start the investigatoin tomorrow. If I see someone on my property taking pictures I'm calling the cops and taking their picture. My husband doesn't know this guy, or owe money. Laugh on him, the business has been slow for the past year.
This is the number, has anyone else gotten a call like this?
817-209-4978

Vince Russo's first name is Craig, Chris Starr's first name is Chris 's first name is Mike. Some Vericore employees(usually the collectors) have to use a ficticious name for their safety.
Imho, they are all really good people with a job to do. Imagine trying to get a company(YOU) to pay a bill that is long overdue and placed in desperation to Vericore in the hopes that the bill is paid, in full or per a fair settlement agreement. They stand up for the little guy. That takes guts and a 'can do' attitude. Maybe, you should thank them for their dedication when they call.
As for the asset and liability investigations..creditors and their agents are well within their rights to do them. In fact, what else can they do?

why do you not pay your bills?do you think its right.  to steal from your venders in order ro make money? nobody is allowed 150% profit without having to purchase. gun. if you are missing your. money honey vericore seems to have the time to aggrvate the folks that stole it.

Vericore employee Brittany Ardeneaux  called me 3 times asking me about my business and personal assets. I advised her to stop harassing me and now she sent me 2 threatening emails which I have documented in the web and in print.

I traced the number back to VeriCore and posted everything on "FairCreditBlog DOD com"

Visit my credit blog and  search for vericore  and see the screen shots of the threats I received.

Vericores. Collector, Mike Powers is just a guy who threatens people and loves to write letters and make more threats to send a private Dick out to intimidate people. Its all b.s. talk. The real Dick is a punk called Mike Powers at VERICORE

Pay your bills.. I deal in sub prime auto finance and it  always amazes me as to how people get irate when you try and collect money that is owed.. Just pay up... or make arrangments..

Just tried searching Vericore, and vericore response, vericore fight back, I don't see those videos you mentioned...

Why is she a fool paying the supplier according to the terms? You agreed with the supplier before the deal is done, if you try to change the terms you are a deadbeat. Rot in hell, mofo.

I find these posts to be ridiculous. My concrete company was in the dumps and Mr. Fox went out of his way to help me through my tough time. He was not only very business savy, but a gentleman as well. My  guess is that there is probably good reason if he is indeed moving forward with his company's aggressive but legal approach. You can't be a deadbeat and expect to not be treated like one.

everything you just suggested pertains to the FDCPA which is for the collection of consumer debt only, not the collection of commercial debt

William Fox is a hardcore harasser from Vericore. This one is the same as the rest of them! Probably they all use the same handbook!
He is nasty and a liar who uses intimidation tactics , and actually calls the people who may know you saying he is doing an investigation on a pending action!!! I have reported this to FTC


If anyone would like to contact him at his residence, please don't hesitate, has he has no reservation in using gorilla tactics!

here is his home address:

We received a call yesterday 10.24.2012 from these same people saying they were investigating our companies vendors and subcontractors. Would not tell us who had hired them. When the owner of our company was put on the phone with Mike Regenold (Vericore Rep) we told him we were recording the phone call also the call was then cut short. No information on who they were supposedly collecting a debt for was ever reveiled to us. We were told that they would be sending a PI to investigate our company. If this is a legit collections agency they should learn to be a little more professional and not right off the bat start threating people with a PI.

Verbal cease and desist carries the same weight as your promise to pay to your creditors. Zero. Pay your bills. you found the creditor when you needed something find them and arrange payment. Oh wait your a debtor that cries when someone asks you to pay your bills.

What in the world do you mean hard working individuals. Your creditor tried to call you. He sent letters, bills, communications of all types. He tried that first, but you completely ignored them. You didnt return phone messages or emails. See sir your creditor is the honest person here that is now paying someone else to try to convince you to pay. I have an idea lets bring back debtor prison maybe that will motivate idiots like you to go to your creditors. You found them when you needed the merchandise try to find them to work out the debt.

Idiot, you should put this much effort into paying your bills. There is no cant, don't get the merchandise or incur the debt if you do not have dedicated funds to pay (as agreed when you were granted the credit). You should go to your creditors in person and apologize. Work out a payment plan. That way they wont have to have a 3rd party collection agency go after your dead beat a**. Here is an idea, man up and try collecting from idiots like you for a living. I hear it's real fun. They should bring back debtors prison so that a***oles like you will pay as agreed.

You are a total idiot. Use spell check before you hit enter. That way people might not be able to tell your an inbred ignorant debtor who fails to pay their creditors on time as agreed. Put your real name down so that the people you owe can contact you instead of hiding behind your phone. See that is why you were turned over for collections. Because you are a debtor that refuses to man up and call the people you owe.

You sir are a professional dead beat. Don't laugh you should be hanging your head in shame. It's a** wipes like you that has caused so many small businesses to go out of business. You take merchandise, supplies or services and then refuse to pay. You also probably give shoddy, cheap, half assed work to your customers then hide behind another face or company name. Laugh all you want eventually people talk and get wise to a** wipes like you. I wonder how many people are looking for you? Here is an idea give your real name and company name.

You are a dead beat that has failed to pay your supplier.

You are a dead beat. Pay your bills. Stop crying about people calling you for money. You owe the people that supplied you with merchandise then you failed to pay. I repeat you are a dead beat.

One question I have... at the end of the e-mails I receive from this "vince russo" who apparently is two different people AND a WWF star, it shows that they are located in N.C.  But then it shows they are licensed in Minnesota, and Tennessee... which they have no offices there... is that legal?  Shouldn't they be licensed out of where they are operating from?

I was just curious...

The reason is that unlike a crecit card, an ACH can't be charged back by the purchaser later on.  Also they do process cards and some of their clients are credit card processing companies.

Just heard from these clowns today, a"Nick Ford" (yeah, right)  insisting our company had a debt we don't.  I told him as much, and hung up.
He followed by an emailed demand letter (how cute) with a ACH authorization form (I guess the CC companies have cut them off).  What a sad joke.

We have been getting very nasty
and threatening phone calls for this 800 375 3186 Vericore?
They do not even say they are trying to collect a debt
( which I beilve is illegal!)

What can be done about these bozo's they have called

3 or 4 times now. Wanting all sort of info without disclosing what they

want and making all sorts of carzy accusation about money owed to some??

THE COMPANY I WORK FOR GOT A CALL FROM JAMES FREDERICKS, AND HE TOLD US ALL THE SAME STUFF. THAT HE COULD GET INFORMATION FROM OUR BANK WITHOUT BEING ON THE ACCOUNT, AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO COME TAKE PICTURES OF OUR BUSINESS. BUT HE HAD TO NOTIFY US FIRST BEFORE HE CAME OVER. (IF HE IS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION, WHY WOULD HE HAVE TO CONTACT THE OWNER FIRST TO LET HIM KNOW HE IS GOING TO COME TAKE PICTURES). WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THEM. WE COULD ALL GET TOGETHER AND USE MY ATTORNEY AND SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. THESE ARE PROBABLY THE PEOPLE STEALING OUR IDENTITIES! (EASY TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF OUR BANK INFORMATION!)

Our receptionist was freaking out telling me someone was coming to take photos of our assets, when I got on the phone and asked the gentleman, who gave me such a bogus name he could not even spell it himself (something like Dylan Estev), who he was and who was sending him he said he was from MCS and was a private investigator hired by a Mr. Robert Klipp from VeriCore. I asked for his number and he told me to contact Mr. Klipp who had his "cell" number. He also said he was going to go to all our suppliers and vendors and Banks to do an "Asset & Liability" investigation. I thought the call was weird and immediately called Mr. Klipp who asked for my email to send the "contract" by the vendor giving him custody of the debt. Now, thinking back, I should have never given it to him... He gave me a figure of almost double what we owe this vendor. I said we had a payment plan and we had been sending $$$ every month. He said it obviously was not enough and now the account was in his hands and the Vendor would not speak to us. Then @ the evening hours I get my email on my Blackberry where he sends a bogus letter, no letterhead, and an attachment, a credit card authorization form!!! I sent him a formal request for all documents including his letter of engagement by the Vendor and the name of the "investigator" and his employer so we can file a complaint with the Federal Agencies regulating their business. I specified by USPS, nothing other than that would be accepted. Of course this never came. Instead, I got another email again in the evening as a copy of a letter to the Department of Revenue requesting specific information on our Corporation. Huhhh??? You can go in the internet and find each State's Corporation filings at a minute's time. All he is doing is pretending you are an idiot and they are the smart ones... Sadly, a lot of people are not savvy on these matters and do get intimidated. I just Googled North Carolina and found their Corporation, a Foreign LLC formed in Louisiana a few years back that got a license to do business in NC in 2004... Then I looked for complaints and to my surprise I found over 10 sites like this one with handfuls of complaints. They are being investigated by the FTC and other Federal Agencies...

PLEASE FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS!!! PEOPLE LIKE THIS HAVE TO STOP, I KNOW I AM AN HONEST PERSON GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES, BUT I HAVE NEVER STOPPED PAYING MY DEBTS!!!

I just got a message from Allen Wright. The other day i discussed Allen's calls with a supervisor and the supervisor told me there would be no calls until the payment was received. But Allen has continuously released information to others of the debt and continued to call and threatens too. As he left a message today letting me know he doesn't care what the supervisor says and i can call and complain again...he will keep calling!

I just receive a phone call from these joker's, said his name was Dillan Estev, and left a number for me to call him. Dillan said he wanted to come and take photo's, wanted all my vendors names, bank accounts, etc. When I called the number back he left, no one by that name worked there. I gave them a case number that "Dillian" left and the guy that was suppose to be the client James Frederick, was actually the guy that I spoke with. In viewing this website before speaking with him, I gave him my lawyers name and number. James said he was not calling my lawyer and did not have to have permission to take photos, get my bank account information, vendors, etc.
I agree, these people are crazy and this business or who every they are needs to be stopped. They are very rude and the business really needs to be closed.

I just received a call from Ted Purdue from 800.375.3186 asking me if my opinion of the person he was trying to contact was a trustworthy and honest person.  I will answer phone calls, but I will not fall prey to tactics such as drawing me into personality judgments and business dealing practices.
