We too have had issues with this office. We live about 45 minutes from their offices and I am about to drive there to see if they even exist!They alternate between using the Alexandria Vaneck name and UCB whenever I have returned calls. I have been paying them $50 a month since 2010 and somehow the debt balance never goes down very much. They also refuse to send me a print out of all my payments and how this is bringing the balance down! I of course had tried to arrange payments with the hospital whosaid the only payments they would even except was $450 a month!! Who in the world can afford that much more a month on top of living expenses?

Thank you. This is some very valuable information. I'm using power of attorney trying to handle a collection letter from this AV agency, and my first contact today was crazy. Now that I have this background, I know exactly what to do.

My wife has been receiving calls for the past two weeks, every other day at the same time.  Automated voice mail.  Against my better judgement, and after deleting those calls automatically I decided to return the call to try to get more information.  Come to find out that it was a valid debt, and didn't get notice or an invoice because of a bad address and a obviously poor administrative staff at a hospital. The operator was pleasant and professional. It pays to get more information and pay the bills on time.  Granted they may not be "Law Offices", that I don't know. But the debt is valid and I'll pay it when I receive a official letter, which the operator promised would be mailed out immediately to the correct address.  For whatever it's worth.

I get a automated message every other day around the same time, 5 - 6 PM.  Checked the Credit report which showed no outstanding or late debts.  This can't be legitimate.  I doubt that any creditable law office would begin with phone calls rather than registered mail.

They are claiming a debt for me that does not exist. So Check and make sure it is from a place you have actually seen someone or that is something that was actually charged to you. I've checked with the place they are claiming twice and both times they have told me I owe nothing.

Same as everyone above.No debt to collect. No mail received. Nothing legitimate about this company that I can see. They call at all hours, numerous times a day and never answer when you pick up.  I see posts from 2007. I can't believe they're still allowed to do business.  Anyone contact the state attorney's office?  I don't have time right now to get more involved. Wish I could put a stop to them for everyone who ever got their calls.

Sarah,

After a careful review of the posts here, and of your post, I personally believe you to be a shill posting on behalf of the caller.  If so, why not just state who you are, and why all of the negative posts are "Sooo unfair" ?

Ive been working with this office for over a year trying to pay down substantial medical debt. I can say in my case at least, they are a legitimate debt-collection company who are legitimately collecting a debt from me.
AND -- they are one of the more understanding collections agencies i've dealt with in this situation. I didnt pay at all for 4 months while I was out of work and they were totally understandable with that.
I'm not saying they don't have the capacity to be a harassment or even that they're beyond reproach in their business practices, but in my case i have no complaints against them.

Got the same call as everyone else.  THey have been calling for a while-even if you answer the phone when they call...you get a recording.  I called back as I want the calls to stop and was disgusted by the people working there- even called back to speak to a supervisor and what do you know, there is no supervisor.  They claimed they are going to contact my employer - good luck- I am not employed.  Joke is on them.  They are just down right nasty.  Come to find out that they are claiming they are calling on behalf of one business when they are really collecting the money for themselves.  Such a scam...sure I would pay them any money over the phone - i think not.

My husband has a letter stating he has to pay nearly $1,000 (which includes court costs) for a medical debt that was paid in full by Workman's Comp and Medicaid, and he owes NOTHING. (He was told by the originator of the debt that it was all paid and to ignore future letters about it when he received a "summons" letter abut it from Vaneck back in Oct of 2010.) Now in August of 2011 he got the letter from Vaneck that he is to be garnished if he doesn't pay WHAT HE DOES NOT OWE within 15 days. What's he supposed to do about THIS???

Lets dissect the above, unbiased post above shall we?

> This is a legitimate Collector
A collector?  A collector of what?  Stamps? Coins? Pez dispensers?, Ming Dynasty vases? Quit being so vague!

>How do I know?  
Yeahhh, how DO you know?  How did you find out about whatever it is you're referring to?

>They had my husbands wages attached for medical bills owed.
Well, first off, it should be "attached to", not attached for.  That being said, how did they attach them? With a paper clip, stapler, Elmer's glue or some other substance?  What would be the purpose of attaching the items together? This must be some sort of strange ritual practiced at your husband's office.

>This time we are staying on top of payments.
Uhh, there are several other things I would rather stay on top of, but we won't go into that in this forum!

>They took huge chunks out of his wages for about a year...
Needless to say, this sounds very bloody and very painful.  Whatever did the wages do to deserve such savage treatment?  How large could these wages have possibly been to have had such a prolonged and merciless mutilation?

>Then we had to pay a fee to the court house to have something released
Hey, thanks for all the detail here.  Did the court house accept your fee?  I will assume you stuck it through the mail slot or perhaps down the chimney.  Did the courthouse acknowledge your undertaking?  Bet it did by making the blinds on its windows go up and down a few times.  Sort, of like a wink huh?

>so our credit would be cleared if we wanted to buy a house.
You mean like wiped-out? No credit? a clean, clear slate?  Uh, I think you NEED credit if you want to buy a house.  You are confusing me.

>Pain in the a**.

Oooooh, its guess the word game!!  Ok, here's my guess!
I'll ASSume, it is one of these:

aah, aam, abb, abc, abe, abo, abs, abt, aby, ace, ach, act, add, adj, ado, ads, adv, adz, afb, aft, aga, age, ago, aha, ahs, ahu, aid, ail, aim, air, ais, ait, ake, ala, alb, ale, all, alp, als, alt, ama, amp, amt, amu, amy, ana, and, ani, ann, ano, ant, any, ape, apo, app, apt, ara, arc, are, arf, ark, arm, ars, art, asa, ash, ask, asp, ate, aud, auf, auk, aum, aux, ava, ave, avg, awe, awk, awl, awm, awn, axe, aye,

>So if you are avoiding these calls DONT
Which calls? calls from my Mother-in-law?, My parole officer?  The IRS?  I think calls like these should be avoided at all costs.

>it will only effect your credit rating in a negative way.
So, in effect, we should do "it" to affect our credit rating?  By doing this, we would effectively affect the rating unless it has been affected already which would greatly affect the entire effect most affectionately but with no sound effects!

>Sure contact an attorney if you feel you have no debt for them to be collecting

Uhh Ohh, confusion time again.  Is the attorney I am supposed to contact, the one that I am indebted to?  Or, I am contacting him to advise that I have no debt with him?  If I feel that I have no debt, (to feel debt, you must rub you thighs with you hands in a circular motion) then why I am I contacting the attorney?  He would already know that and would not be interesting in collecting*

*See first comment at top of response to find out EXACTLY what the mystery attorney is supposed to be collecting.

>or call them during business hours and ask for a copy of your file

Call who?  The attorney?  The collector?  Why should I be limited to business hours?  What if I prefer to call "them" at home?  or on the weekend?  I will call when I bloody well feel like it.

"Hello, sorry to call during your weekend at 2am but do you happen to have a copy of my file?"

>but dont avoid the calls or you will find your wages garnished and that is NOT fun!
I won't, but I fail to see how avoiding calls will result in garnishment.  What IS fun, is responding to someone who either works for this organization or is in the collection industry and clearly thinks that an unedited, poorly worded tale of woe will shock people into compliance with bottom-feeding bill collectors.

What appeared on my caller ID was "Unknown" and "419".  Naturally, I am NOT going to answer a call that comes up like that.

When I play back the voice mail, it's from "the law offices of Alexandria Vaneck" and that I should call 800-999-9637 (and give a reference number).  This is actually UCB Collections, and the practice of calling themselves a "law office" is flat-out illegal under most laws in the US (including Ohio, where they're based).  I called them back, told the person who answered (he said "Law Offices" as his greeting), "I know for a FACT this isn't a law office, this is a debt collection agency, and I'm getting VERY tired of you calling my number and NOT properly identifying yourselves on my CallerID."  Then I hung up.

I'll pay a legitimate debt IF the caller properly identifies themselves both on CallerID and in voicemail, but if they're going to flat-out LIE about their identity and/or deliberately conceal their identity on CallerID, I'm not going to answer their calls and I'm not going to do business with them.

This is a legitimate Collector, How do I know? They had my husbands wages attached for medical bills owed. This time we are staying on top of payments. They took huge chunks out of his wages for about a year until 2000 in medical bills were paid off. Then we had to pay a fee to the court house to have something released so our credit would be cleared if we wanted to buy a house. Pain in the a**. So if you are avoiding these calls DONT it will only effect your credit rating in a negative way. Sure contact an attorney if you feel you have no debt for them to be collecting, or call them during business hours and ask for a copy of your file, but dont avoid the calls or you will find your wages garnished and that is NOT fun!
