Received a thrwatening call about paying a debt from long time ago that I paid off. These people really need to get a life.

all u ppl think that u kno it all.... u clearly have no idea, u can be sued and ur checks will and can be garnished. it is a civil matter and a criminal matter due to the fact that if u take out a loan or credit card and then dnt pay it back it is called stealing which is a federal crime.... that means a felony... i kno alot more then u think. we are a legitamite collection agency we have a website so look it up, we r not a scam. we dont make money off of your debts we r honestly trying to help u out, we offer settlements for lower then what u really owe on the loan... its to help you not us. we honestly could care less if you pay it or not. but when you go to take out another loan or try to buy a house or a car it wont happen because of the fact that these r on ur credit report and they dont go away... i kno the laws i have a degree in criminal justice so dont sit here and say we miss represent ourselves because we do not by any means... especailly with th fact that i have my degree!

Just don't call them back.  They only want to harass you!  To HELL WITH THEM!!!!

They say they'll get me or that they are coming to get me, am sick of it.

What do they say to you everyday?

I think your very pleasant reply shows why people are complaining about your company.  If it was more professional and had more true facts in it, maybe it would be taken more seriously.  We should send this to the company you work for and let them see what kind of public representation you are giving them because most companies have in their policy something about refraining from this kind of language and incorrect information because they could be sued.

Have you heard of the recession and pay cuts and the price of gas and the economy in general? Geez.

In response to your comment, "the statue of limitations dnt mean s**t the debt is still there and it will remain there til u take care of it...." You are mistaken. The Statute (Statute not statue) of Limitations most definitely DOES mean something. They are put in place for a reason by the state. The debt may remain, but it WILL NOT be able to be collected on in court. These collectors know that and that is why they will NEVER take you to court. They know they will lose! They would prefer to harrass you and they hope to SCARE people into paying for something they are no longer legally obligated to pay.

Cleary, from the way your post is written, you are a very intelligent person. You obviously KNOW that these people have legitimate debt. Everyone should certainly listen to you. Did you catch the sarcasm? I hope so, because I was laying it on pretty thick!

I don't know who you are, but you are very misinformed.  I have an Idea.... stop popping out f*** trophies and get a life.  These debts DO go away after a period of time.  Why don't YOU look it up Dummy.

maybe if u ppl wuld understand that if u take out credit cards n loans w/o the intentions of paying it bak then yes u LEGALLY can be sued.. the clients will garnish ur wages & they WILL take u to court... and this is a legitimate company y dnt u get ur head outta ur a** n go look it up on the website... in no way shape or form do we misrepresent our selves.. ur all jus f****n idiots who think u kno s*** that u clearly dnt... i am a single mom of 2 and guess wat i still manage to pay all my bills and take care of my kids n the house & heres the big one... I PAID MY DEBT.. every1 does hit a hard time but thats not our fault and no we dnt feel sry for u.. the s*** is not guna stop until u pay it back whether u pay it to a collections agency or u wait long enough & they take u to court n ur sued for twice the amount or they just take ur paycheck... its ur choice. stop thinking u kno everything about everything cuz clearly by these dumb a** comments u ppl r makin u have no idea... the statue of limitations dnt mean s*** the debt is still there and it will remain there til u take care of it....

Are a friggin' idiot!!  These debts are either paid or way out of the SOL.  These bottom-feeder, scum sucking companies buy OLD debt for pennies on the dollar and try to collect.  As I said, most of the debts were paid long ago and/or written off.  NEVER FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE!!!  And Perrault, why don't you go find something better to do than tell people to pay their debt when you have NO IDEA what's really going on?

Report them to the FTC... When I reported them, the FTC advised me to just ignore the calls. The FTC said it was not legit. They threatened me with a summons (I have no open court cases. I checked with my county court.) I have a current copy of my credit report and I know what is on it.  These people are leeches who buy up old debt that is well passed the statute of limitations.

@Perrault- Yes, people should pay back the money they have borrowed. Yes, people should pay back credit cards. Debt Collectors should also use legal practices. They are not allowed to threaten you. They are not allowed to misrepresent themselves or what they are. Period! This is a debt collector using all sorts of different ILLEGAL collection techniques.

Once the Statute of limitations has passed, they can ESAD!

You are an A$$. Most people lose their jobs or get sick or inherit others debt. Loans are a risk and banks/credit companies know this.

Some people cant help having debt....people do fall on hard times and try to pick themselves up. I hope you find yourself in dept one day.....

BS Collection Agrency calling to collect a debt from 2005.  Do they ever quit?!??!?!
