"patenaude&felix" on the caller ID as well.  They left a nonsensical  message last week for a name I couldn't make out.  
My credit is fine, so these are either scammers,  or someone lied about their ph#.  

"patenaude&felix" on the caller ID as well.  They also left a message last week asking for someone.  It was difficult to understand,  and nonsense. This is a new one on me.   I have good credit,  so they must be scammers, or someone lied about their ph#.
And posts going back  to 2007..........The least they could do is spoof their number every few months  like the rest of these criminals.

Can you also make some kind of settlement...sometimes they will do that. Most do. Its worth talking to them.in my experience...when they sound mean....just say yes mame or yes sir....ya get more bees with honey....or more honey with happy bees. Something like that.....then just keep the payments to them on time...let it go....and move on free and clear once its finished....amen

I think you might be right. I'm gonna ask for mercy pay my debt and move on.

I think your right. If ya owe
.at least make an effort.I have learned the hard way ,,,,if I don't have cash....I don't need it. And I am glade to start over....a new lease on life not credit cards. If everyone said ok you do mot need to pay.....I would turn around and run cc up again like a sickness. I'm paying my debt....moving forward....and saying been there done that....and telling others don't go there.....stay free.

I was thinking your right. If I ran a credit and was not able to pay , they need to find some way to recover. So that debt is something to be dealt with. The more I think about it. I made yhe bill.

I think you might be right. If they make a settlement take it pay it and move on with life.

I have not got a call from them, but I just received my first letter from them saying they have my account and saying I have 30 days to verify or dispute the debt.  I know I owe GE $3800, and I want to set up payment arrangements to pay it off.  Should I send A DV letter forst still, or just contact them now to set up an arrangement. The letter had GE name on it with the correct amount I owe. Has anyone on here made payments to them before?

Omfg, you may have gotten away with making people believe you aren't a debt collector if you hadn't added that lone about "if you paid your bills there'd be no need for debt collectors." Classic scum debt collector lingo.

Jesus H. Christ you debt collectors are stupid!

You are awesome! Thanks!

Haha, I can tell you're a lawyer. I am too and when they called me I looked them up on the calbar. One went to Whittier (known as $hittier) and other went to Thomas Jefferson (which is being sued by its "alumni" for being one of the worst law schools in the US and lying to its students about their employment rates after graduation.)Idiots...

Lolol, says the collection agency. King of deadbeats. Shouldn't you be "hard at work" making harassing phone calls?

I got a call from them too. They have a website:

Sorry,
In California debt that is past 7 years is not collectible by garnish, law suit, etc.  One such idiot that paid them, thought the account was settled, and 6 months later, they started again for the same 12 year old debt.  DONT ANSWER, DONT RETURN THEIR CALLS.

screw you idiot

this is a collection agency and they pretend to be a law offices. I was paying my debt for the last 20 years , all I owe now to creditors is the interest of the interest . I can not do it any more , they suck all my blood , screw them , just an advise to all of you , do not answer them , that's what they want to talk and harassing you

ur right, a validation of debt,,,which will show u own them nothing and they know it


Whatliesinyourdebt    ----- dot --------- com   is the best way to attack back and post your complaint with ripoff dot    com
and they will back off

Go to;;;whatliesinyourdebt    dot   com  and Get what u deserve and maybe make them pay u.

Yes u can sue any bill collector that calls on ur cell phone or hard wire,,IF you never gave them ur number to call on when u created the credit.I sued a card Im paying on,because they called me on my cell for late payment;The TCPA act, is what u sue under ,,,google it and download,read it and write a ,,Intent to sue letter to them to give notice,,,500 a call plus the judge can 3x the amount when he rules on it ,,,,mention that in the intent letter,,,than file ur papers in court and when they get notice,then they will see ur serious and they will call u to settle,,,never settle over phone ,but through email,that way you have proof what was agreed on; They will settle for about 1000 per call.

You know, sometimes doing just a little checking on these numbers (google this:  Ripoff Report | Law Offices of Patenaude & Felix A.P.C. Complaint ...) can be most enlightening.

I never answered... I just google all incoming calls before picking up the phone.  

Since there is NO way I would have any outstanding balance of any kind from any year ... you can draw your own conclusions as to what type of 'collection agency' this one is!

Looking for a Renato Juaquin. Not sure of the spelling.

These people are a joke!! Lots of threats and they never listen to you..

I think I will go into business for myself and file a harassment suit against them!! =)

bull

I got a call on my cell and when I listened to the message it was a lot of muffled sounds and then I heard a male voice say "muther f******" and then hung up. I know it was not for me. I dont speak to anyone who leaves a voice mail like that.

Many times these companies are fully without integrity and take advantage of the uneducated for bills that are not even owed.  You should really take a look at the details and statistics of an issue before commenting.  These scumbags are below whale feces.

how much was your fee for posting this?  shills beware...we are on to you and will out you at every corner



the NiNe has spoken

I smell debt collector! You gave great advice to everybody and did so in all caps! You clearly have no qualifications to speak to the matter.

Personally, I have been put into the position you believe you're an expert in. When you claim that these bottom feeders have all the documentation, you are WRONG. Not even the original creditors have all the documentation. When you claim they have a 90% chance of getting a judgment against you, once again, you're WRONG! The only reason they would have a 90% chance of winning is if you don't fight. The ONLY reason these companies have a high percentage rate of winning is because only about 5% of people actually fight back.

I beat Capital One, Portfolio Recovery, and you guessed it...Patenaude and Felix. None could prove in a court of law that I owed a penny. Like I said, no documentation. But, had companies been more willing to help their customers out when things got difficult, fewer people would be in this position in the first place. And had these greedy creditors not started robo-signing (look up Higgins v. Target, Patenaude and Felix, Adam Grim et al) or Linda Almonte for chase.

It's clear misinformation from people like you that causes people to put their head in the sand and end up losing. Ignore debt collectors like this troll who think that people purposefully don't pay their bills. Oh and one more thing...if these low life scum suckers would accept the amount THEY paid for the debt they BOUGHT for pennies on the dollar, more people would pay. But if I allegedly owe $10,000 and you paid $100 for it, you've got a lot of nerve expecting to turn on a profit on another person's misery. To those people..I wish my disability on them. You can go back under your rock now debt troll.

Are you for real? Harassment is ILLEGAL by debt collectors or other wise. If they are told to stop calling and send a written request THEY MUST STOP or face fines! If you are not who they are looking for and they have the wrong number ...too bad for you? Wrong...they will eventually get caught and fined!

You're an idiot. Most of these "deadbeats" as you call them are hardworking people who lost their income through no fault of there own and you heartless bottom feeders are not helping their situation. You guys have been calling me for years, always leaving messages. You sued me years ago and have yet to collect. Every time you guys call and get through, I go online to Verizon and block your number.HA HA HA...LOL. You might sue 2000 accounts a month but I bet you collect less than a penny on the dollar...if you get anything at all.
