If you look on you credit report you can see where the  original debt was and who brought your debt and some collection agency will send you something in the mail  and some company may still have you in there system. The person that called me gave me a different number then the one on my caller id when i called the number that he left he answered using a different name I wanted more information about the debt he said that would email me and also mail me something never received anything I called the number back that was left I'm my voice mail no answer but when I called the number that was left on my caller id and called back he sound  surprised and said that I had the wrong number. I waited a week and called back I got a different person I told them that I had contacted the company that said I didn't pay them said that I never did business with them and that they have  in house debt collections and that they do keep your information on file

ONCE UR DEBT HAS WENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY THE COMPANY U HAD THE DEBT WITH WILL NO LONGER HAVE UR INFO ON FILE CASUE THEY SOLD THAT DEBT TO B COLLECTED ON*** THEREFOR GIVING THE COLLECTIONS AGENGY THE LEGAL RIGHT TO PURSUE

NO i DONT WORK FOR THE CO ___BUT I HAVE WORKED N COLLECTION B 4 & THEY DO HAVE LEGAL WRITE TO THE DEBT & IF THEY R CONTACTING  U B 4 ANY LEGAL ACTION IS FILED TO GET U TO RESOLVE B 4 COURT ACTION IS TAKEN ***** EVERY ONE SCREAMS PROOF ** WHEN WE ALL KNOW WHAT DEBT WE HAVE OUT THERE N PROOF IS GIVEN N SHOWN WHEN U APPEAR IN COURT BUT BECAUSE LEGAL FEES & ATTY FEES R APPLIED TO SUCH A SMALL BALANCES THEY TRY TO GIVE U A CHANCE TO AVOID THOSE FEES N PAY OUT OF COURT

If this company is not a scam then why wont you accept a money order to pay off the debt, why do u want people to  use credit cards or prepaid credit cards.  and why not give us your address and mail us info on the debt

REALIST...DO YOU WORK FOR THEM?????????? I CHECKED THE LAWS IN CA AND THEY ARE BEHAVING LIKE A SCANKY SCAM!!!!  I'M SHOUTING BACK TO YOU BECAUSE I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY DOC OF DEBT OWED AND THE LAWS IN CA COULD PUT THIS SEEMINGLY VERY BOGUS CO OUT OF BUSINESS IN THIS STATE AT LEAST. I WROTE TO THE COMPANY WHO I SUPPOSEDLY OWE MONEY TO AND THEY HAVEN'T RESPONDED EITHER. IF IT IS LEGITIMATE THEN PROVIDE THE DOCS NECESSARY TO EXPEDITE RESOLUTION....

THIS CO IS NOT A SCAM THEY HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS TO THE DEBT AND CAN PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AS FAR AS A CIVIL COMPLAINT BEING FILLED OUT AGAINST YOU THEY MAY ALWAYS REQUEST FOR GARNISHMENT OF WAGES. THEY GIVE A COUTERSY CALL BEFORE LEGAL ACTION IS TAKEN WITH YOUR COUNTY TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO AVIOD ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY FEES AND COURT COST.

I keep receiving calls from this company , VM says that investigator Simmons is trying to get in touch with me re a debt and if I don't get back with them they will proceed to court or notify my employer.  On the voice mail, whoever made the call kept yawning like they were half asleep and also half of the case # was bleeped out like they didn't want me to have it.  I previously spoe to someone about 6 months ago from this same company and they told me the only way I could pay was with a credit card, & when I said I only use money orders and I don't use CC they told me to go purchase a prepaid CC to make payments or risk going to court.  I believe this is a scam, I never heard of any collection agency refusing to take a pmt with a money order before.

yes...now i really believe they are a scam bc i got a call from a Laura McCoy who later transfered me to investigator Smith to settle acct on a pdl to JSH Fastcash.  He claimed he emailed jsh and got a response back in less than 2 sec...toooooo fast!!! he was lying and amt for $210 more than original amt of which the co had ach'd my acct every 1-2 wks for about $50. Yes, he threatened court action and notification to employer and to stop this i would have to agree to pay with cc. He also asked for my DL#...I have yet to receive email or official letter about amt owed and he claimed letters were sent ...to an address where i no longer lived for past 4years. The loan appl had correct addr and i told him they should have it. I still don't have any type of mail even though he sd he would send it and unfortunately i gave him a prepaid cc # that i now know would have to call cc company to replace with new. I am taking SOAPLADY'S adv to contact my California AG Office to report them for misrepresentation and other unlawful tactics...Thanks to all the comments....very educational!!

I got a phone call from them stating they had a case against me for a bad check, said they could settle it with me.  I asked for proof the debt before I paid and they were unable to give me any.  I informed them I would not give any money until I knew the debt was a real thing.  They got kinda snippy with me at that point & tried to bully me around.. saying if I did not pay I'd have to pay another $3,000 to $5,000 extra bc of attorney and court fees.  I said okay then.  Each time I spoke with a "different man" it was the exact same voice.. one was investigator Derrik Simmons the other was Mr. Johnson.. the one time he did not give me his name.. same dude each time.  I called every county I've ever lived in.. nothing on file in any court.  It's a scam.

Got a call from this number from Angela Parker. When I called back, she was unavailable. I told the guy to stop calling and harassing me & he told me good luck in court & hung up on me.

Got a call from this number leaving a threatning message with a case # advised that this was a civil case with possible criminal charges this is a bunch of BS! This case # doesnt exist in any court!

***SCAM ALERT***  Received a call from an Angela Parker at Bradbury Boswell & Assoc.  They gave a file # to reference in their message. I called back to speak with Ms. Parker & her lead "investigator" got on the line & gave some bogus address that my husband resided at.  When I confirmed he never resided there, I was quickly transferred to Ms. Parker. Ms Parker claimed that a complaint has been filed against my husband in Los Angeles County. She would not give me any more info about the complaint. No "Bradbury Boswell & Assoc." come up in Google.  Looking back at the call, it sounds real fishy.  My husband can't wait to speak with Ms. Parker directly.

Got a call from Angela Parker at Bradbury Boswell & Assoc. Claiming legal action on a complaint. I called back and got an answering machine saying to leave a case number and phone number. Said their office hours are till 9PM. My case was in 2006. Sounds like a SCAM!!!!!

Got a call from Lauren about an account paid off a year ago asking for proof, or threatening legal action.  The company is Bradbury, Boswell & Associates.  Said their address is PO Box 1545
Amhurst, NY.  I can't find any record of them, I think this is a SCAM

makes it sound like it is a legal issue
