Everest Receivable Services -- Received a call from a man on 10/1/13 telling me I owed $63 to a bank I used about 5 years ago. (This was an account closed in good standing, I was moving out of state and their bank was not in Florida at the time). I told the representative to email me something so that I have it in writing for my records and so that I could contact the bank and find out what the fee was for since he couldn't tell me anything more then that I owed $63. On 10/4/13 the same man called back trying to collect. I advised I hadn't received anything in writing and I wasn't going to give my credit card to them until I received some sort of bill or invoice. He proceeded to tell me "if you paid your bills, you wouldn't have to talk to me". I understand collection companies probably get the run around and talk to unfriendly people but I was nothing but respectful to him. Bottom line, shady company who are completely unprofessional!!

If they said any of those things on an answering machine it would be third party disclosure ....

ERS is a licensed business. However, verifying this was a major task as it seems that no one at this company was certain themselves, since they were unable to provide me any information to help me verify their validity as a business. When I asked for a licensing number or tax ID # the representative as well as the "manager" became very hostile and condescending and started playing these long holding games on the phone. This behavior discredits them and leads one to be more leery of their professionalism, than helpful. By the way, this town has approximately 17,000 people/ 7,000 households/ 5,000 families and is 98% "non-minority", that means there are probably plenty "daddy-uncles" and most likely there is a headquarter to an anti-someone group located in the VILLAGE OF DEPEW in Erie County, NY. With that being said, I highly doubt Depew, NY is producing very many people who are in a position to be condescending to anyone. In a time where fraud runs rampant, I would expect a company that really wants to solve any financial debt to be more than happy to provide any information to prove its validity, so that the consumer may feel comfortable giving them any information requested. After contacting many state and governments agencies, I finally spoke to someone from the Minnesota Dept. of Commerce who verified that Everest Receivable Services were indeed a licensed collection agency.

Yes, ERS, you are welcome. You actually are a licensed collections agency.... since it seemed like you weren't sure yourself. You can go tell Maw and Paw you learned something new today.

Says they have "very serious" matter at hand and said the number they tried me at (where I haven't lived in 4 years) wouldn't take a message and "that was not a good thing."  They called on Christmas Eve!

Damien Digenero is a scum who cheats on his girlfriend, dosnt pay his child support, has herpes, is a sexual devient and a loser who lies to debtors.  

This agency isnt licensed and is part of the summiest collection group in Buffalo.

Dan Mendez is the owner and is a piece of s**t too!

I got a call and they said their offices are in Depew, New York
They never sent me any official documents.  I asked them 3 times
The name given to me was a Mr. Skinner.  The number was 877-752-0150

Also a Damien Digenero called me about the same matter.  Gave the number 877-304-2584

Got a call from this number 877-752-0150 and was told it was from the Social Security Office and that we needed to call them concerning an urgent matter.

They called my brother's mother-in-law's home number which has no connection or relation to me whatsoever.  A person by the name of Mr. Artel left a message and stated that I need to call back at this number for an urgent matter.  He wasn't clear in the message and I thought it was the IRS and had my brother and I sitting on edge.  I called the number and a guy answered.  I asked to speak to Mr. Artel and the guy told me he stepped away from his desk.  I asked the following questions:
1. What kind of company are you?
2. Why are you calling my brother's mother-in-law who has no connection to me whatsoever?
3. How did you get her number?
4. Are you a collection agency?
The guy asked for a file # that Mr. Artel never left in his "message" and couldn't answer any of the above mentioned questions.  I'm reporting this to the better business bureau as they are very flaky and I believe it's an illegal company!

They called me and a lady said, "This is Alyssa from Everest Receivables Services.  It is very important that you or your attorney contact me regarding File #9647482.  I can be reached at 877-752-0150.  It is in your best interest to call me back as soon as possible."

So, they did not give the required language of "This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose."  They did not identify who they were collecting for or the amount of the alleged debt.  Also, I have never received anything from this company in writing.  So, apparently, this call was totally illegal.

What nerve.
