I have gotten a call saying to call them from the WWR law firm about a personal matter.  they call twice a day but are finally blocked.  

PNC Bank stopped using Weltman, Weinberg, & Reis for collections due to their unethical collection practices.

Hey CUNTHATER..go f*** urself!

You are a smelly c***.  It is time to send you to the oven.

getting harassing phone calls

All that is required to stop harassing phone calls, is to send a registered latter to the debt collector stating the following: STOP AND DESIST any contact with _____ regarding loan # _____.
Under the fair debt collection practices act, Section 806 of title VIII
If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt,
Compliance with this title shall be enforced by the FDIC.

Make sure you sign the notice and retain your registered mail receipt.

This will NOT alleviate you from any legal obligation however, and the collection agency may well take you to court. This particular company has been mentioned numerous times in less than forthright subpoena methods, and you may have been given a default judgment from a case that you knew nothing about ... you could actually have had a bench warrant issued in your name, meaning that you could actually be arrested for failure to appear.

It is therefore most important that you regularly check the docket of your local civil court and legal notices in your local paper. You should also note that every state has a different statute of limitation with regard to collection of debts, ranging from three to eight years.

make them produce all validation of debt, and every single transaction with your signature.  Show-up, at Court, don't allow them to obtain a default judgement, becaus eyou didn't show-up. You will WIN, make them prove their case.  Make them prove their case.

OH< FIRST, ask the Judge Immediately for a Dismissmal , before you even get started. Do some research, get a lawyer if you can. They ar eso easy to beat. But, with a judgment, they can Execute their Judgement and THEY  WILL!! They can place a levy (Bank will charge you $50 to $100) on your Bank Acct if they can find it. If you ever paid a Bill with a Check, that they can look-up, close that acct.  again, get a lawyer, you can beat them so easy!

I have researched this because I got the same call.... I only received the summons to appear in court AFTER the date I had to reply to the court by. They are liars and practice illegal activities, however, if they get a court to sign by you not showing up (which is impossible when they only notify you AFTER the date has passed) they can freeze your accounts. Check your local state laws as to how much you can have in the account before they can touch it. Also if you have automatic payments set up to your account you can leave more in there safely, however if you have even $.01 over the minimum they can freeze your entire account even if you have more in there than the amount they are claiming you owe. In my case this was about a card I have never had, nor ever had any account with and they are claiming to have purchased the account after it was charged off. Be very careful because although they are cheats and liars, if they get a court order when you don't respond (and you won't respond because they only tell you after the date you need to respond by) you will need to get a lawyer to fight the court order and have to pay it.

I regret to say Bob's advice is very faulty. See my reply in the other WWR thread he visited on 23 Dec 2011.

This is a third party debt collector known as Weltman, Weinberg, and Reis.

They are subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

To get them to stop calling you, send them a cease and desist communications letter.

Say this in your letter:

Your Name
The Phone Number They Are Already Calling

"In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I demand that you cease and desist from any communication with me.  In accordance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, I demand that you stop calling my cell phone number.  I am informing you in writing that all telephone calls from you are inconvenient at any time and at any location.  Please be advised that I will tape record all telephone calls from you and I will use them as evidence against you if you violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and/or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act."

Send it to them by mail, fax, or email.

Keep a copy for your records.  If you send it by fax, get a transcript of what was sent by fax and the status page printout showing that the fax was sent to their fax number.

any creditor can go to court and get a judgement against you for money they are legally trying to collect. They get the judgement to mail to your bank - if you have any money -checking, savings, etc they do get to take all of it if you owe that much.  I agree with you that that guy sounds like a plant but all these scumbag collectors  go to court - I know because it was done to me.

Contact your state attorney general and report them as abusive debt collector. It is election year.  The company is run by lowlife collectors who cant be trusted.

Calls from 800-837-6008 will not stop. They have been calling for ever about my mother, who is 85 y.o. and has alzheimer/dementia. She has not been here for more than a year and I have left this message on my answering machine. They still will not stop calling me.

Block their number if you can. They've been calling us consistently for almost a year, if not longer. My phone provider makes it easy to block numbers, so they've been blocked after the second day. We are not behind on any of our debts so no reason to even bother getting in contact with them. Let the robot hit our busy signal block.

Call every day....Please help me to stop this calling. Thankyou.

Report each time they call.

Under complains, it's quick and easy. Takes 2 minutes.

Do it every time they call.

1. Never talk to any collection agency or debt help company over a telephone.
2. Never engage with them or admit who you are.
3. Always ask for everything in writing via mail.
4. Always respond to letters with a "FDCPA debt validation letter" sent via certified mail with return receipt.
5. Never lose hope. There's no money in heaven, you will be all right.

First step is to report the company that called to: http://DONOTCALL.gov

If you need help with debt collectors, go to --- http://www.budhibbs.com/ --- it's a great site that deals with debt collectors and debt validation. You will learn a lot about your rights there.

You have to send them a FDCPA letter via certified mail with return receipt telling them to stop calling, etc.

Google for a good FDCPA letter, send it via return receipt. certified mail.

write a letter with a copy of the message to the FTC

ASSET ACCEPTANCE  703-656-9845...........FSG 855-281-6354
800-837-6008 THIS NUMBER HAS CALLED 60 TIMES.  I DEMAND THEY QUIT CALLING!
THE MORE I REPORT THESE NUMBERS...THE MORE I GET FROM MANY MORE!  WTF IS GOING ON????

Only the IRS can freeze an account if anyone tells you other wise they are lying!

I had just got a new number, and the next day these people call. When I didn't answer the 800 number it sent me a text message. But it wasn't for me it was the previous person who had my number. Again a new number that my own family doesn't even have and these people are calling again??? How is this possible?

I got a call from this number, but they did not leave a msg

This organisation is not associted with the Congress and will stoup at nothing to get contributions to bottom sucking scumbags like theire supporters. They state they can call because their are nut a telemerker and they are fund raising to elect similar scum sucking politicians. The H-ll with them, I am mad as H-ll and will not take them anymore.  Call the Attorney General's Office in OH, the Governorator, and the Feds and full your complaint.

These Weltman folks have been robo-calling at least once a day for a week, including today (Saturday). I have no outstanding debts outside of mortgage which is going well, so no reason a debt collector should be calling. I blocked their number so today was the last.

THESE SO CALL FIRM IS NOT GETTING IT.. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND I AM REPORTING THIS NUMBER..TO THE FLORIDA STATE .BESY WAY TO STOP THEM .CHANGE MY NUMBER TO UNKNOW ALSO

So far here in Pa. we have seen collection companies going as far as setting up fake courts in Erie.  How far are these people going to go ?  keep reporying this kind of activity to the real law enforcement agencies and hope they take action   Lies and deception are the only thing these people use.  Do not ever pay them any money.

Obviously Sylvia, you have still have a job and are making high wages, you and your family are healthy, life is wonderful!!!   If you lost your job or your wages have been cut due to the economy, or you or a  family member became sick or disabled, maybe you would understand other people's situation!!!!

thanks!

I am using this email!!

Sometimes things happen beyond our control and we cannot pay our bills as we would like to.  No one wants to be in this situation.  Get off your high horse.

Hope they like calling my old fax line...  stupid people
