Life sucks when you're not even worth minimum-wage. Doesn't it bottom-feeder?  Play somewhere else dirt-bag. This sand-box always has plenty of you dried-up tubes. You're nothing but a hair-ball without a home. Go away. You foreign frauds bore us.
Indian frauds! Sheeesh! You guys are like a crotch itch! We just scratch. You're gone.

Sounds like you are a professional DEBTER try putting all that time into finding a job and actually taking care of your responsibilities like an adult

DONT bounce checks if you do not want people knowing your a dead beat

I just received a message from a man that I was under investigation for bank fraud across state lines, or something like that.
I called back and talked to a James Bronson who was actually looking for my ex and said he was investigating someone using his SSN, possibly identity theft. I asked what the company name was and he said it was JDS. Wanted me to give contact # for ex, but we don't talk so I said no. I'll ask my son to deliver the message. Yeah, right!

OK, I just got a phone call from 1.877.817.6020 but was listed as private.  I only answered it because I thought it was a friend of mine.  This person ("called himself") James Bronson Ext. 304 asjed to speak to me and that I was part of a huge Identity Theft crime.  Oh I said and asked him to repeat himself and said that I was in connection with someone or some other "family member" and stated my full name including maiden name and full SS#.  oh yea? i said, yes he responded.  OK so the police are going to knock down my door as "part of this identity theft ring"  he hung up on me after stating his name, ext etc. I called back and the "director" of this op., yelled at me saying that he needs to listen to the tapes (which were never in place) and told me that "THERE IS NO WAY THIS OP WOULD HAVE YOUR SS# OR INFORMATION IF YOU WERE NOT IMPLECATED IN A CASE, SO GIVE ME YOUR SS# SO I CAN CLARIFY THIS."  not a hells chance, but those fn b*****ds have it.  

I love it! you have to do that. We all know they are a bunch of uneducated lowlifes who do that type of thing to others. I figure I can beat them at their own made up game. I usually start out by asking them questions....it irritates them a lot. For example May I get your name please? And your phone number in case we get disconnected? Or respond to their questions with your own questions. Best thing is to not raise your voice though because it bothers them more than if you yell. They deliberately try to push your buttons....so push theirs instead. Turn the situation around back at them...at least its healthier for me to laugh at them than it is for me to get mad and get my blood pressure up.  

I have been contacted several different times (every few months or so) by this so called company and every time they are looking for someone other than me. It is someone I know, but how they got my number is beyond me. I know its a fraud as they are so unprofessional. Every time this happens (every couple months) I will first tell them to remove me from their list because   "I am on the do not call list". I tell them I have reported their harassing calls to the Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission or whatever else comes out of my mouth at the time. Then the next time I get a message from them, I call them back and try to get their name. I ask them for their home phone number so I can bother them all hours of the day and night. I ask them for their SS # and date of birth and financial institute so I can try to steal their identity or money. I will call back several times in a row until I get someone who at least tries to be polite and will tell me they are making notes in their system that they have the wrong number and they apologize for my inconvenience. I usually get the call and message from 877/817-6020 and they ask me to call them back at 855/620-7988.

If I have any types or run-on sentences or mis-spelt words their is no need for someone to point it out to me because I really don't care if there is. I am not here to get a job or impress anyone.

A lady by the name of Ms Williams kept calling my husband about his "delinquent account". When I called back, she said that she was sure her supervisor would help me and transferred the phone call. A "Robert Grant" answered and said my husbands docket was ready for court and ifwedid not pay (double the amount owed, by the way) he was going to garnish his wages and take possession of any vehicles under my husbands name. I told himwe did not havethe monies and he proceeded to call my husbands employer.  The message he left said that he needed to return the call within an hour or they would summons him at work.

He was rude and very unprofessional.

Yes his name is Robert grant

At 3:35 PM today, I got a robo call stating the need to call back to a different number on a legal issue.  Two minutes  later, I called the above number and got a guy who,  on checking, said they were calling for a Paul F*******.   I asked him name of his company and he said JDS. I informed him this was no longer PF's number as of 1/4/14 when I got my new cell phone and to take me off his call list.  He stated they had no "call list," but would stop calling as it was not productive.  When I said I hoped so and that if I got another call, I would contact the FTC, I got attitude on how that would have no effect on them and was just outright rude.  My daughter was in the room and witnessed this as it was on speaker.  

I continually get phone calls from this number, asking for different names that they say are tied to my wireless number.  I have had this number for 15 years and I do not know of the person they are asking for.  They get extremely rude when I tell them they have the wrong number and got verbally abusive with me a few times.  Aggravating as heck.

My identity was stolen and the peace of crap who did it received probation. He opened online accounts and did check loans. This rude a** hole from JDS recovery kept calling me a liar, nobody can open an account, he insisted I pay this over the phone or go to jail. I asked him to let me finish talking to give him the cause number from the case the persons name who stoled my identity and the number to the detective that worked the case. This j*** off started basically screaming at me. Luckily I recorded the conversation. I hung up and yet to have another call.

JDS Recovery is NOT in very good standing with the BBB. The address they listed with the BBB is BOGUS, it's an animal hospital

Yeah, the regular posters on this site do know "how this all works", and we can spot a shill like you a mile away.  We can also quickly spot various FDCPA violations as described by earlier posters.

You are an idiot.  Bounced checks alone are not a criminal offense.  An intent to defraud must also be proven.  Bringing back debtor's prison, are they?  Where in the world do you get your information - the boiler room bathroom wall?

if you dont know how this all works, then you a bigger idiot than before.

Ooh, sounds like someone is upset that their little scam is being exposed!

Sounds like you are an uneducated shill who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

Not nearly as much of a waste of time as you are, shill.

I got a letter from them in the mail.  I got 60% off my bill for my watch from Kay Jewelers.  Dont see what all the bitching is about.  They helped me.

you dont go to jail for not paying debts, but you can go to jail for bouncing checks.  Looks like a felony in most states.  you may want to look into IL and other states.  They are doing the right thing and bringing back debtor prison.  That will be a great way to stop collection agencies.  If creditors put peolpe in jail for stealing from them, there would be no need for collection agencies.

if they took money out of your account, then it would be because you gave them permission on a Federally Regulated/Recorded protection line.  if you didnt provide your info, how would they have it?  Its hard to help consumers who are actually having issues.  Dont post here unless you really need help.  Stealing money and bouncing checks and then searching for a scam way out is a waste of time.

sounds like your a scumbag.  Do you have a job or do you live off of other hard working people?

did you used to work there???? how is it that you know so much about this company? no other person other than an employee(or ex employee) would know such a thing.....grow up rachel. not our fault you couldnt do your job

I checked on a legit agency/law firm to see if they list their address.. Guess what they have the address right there on the HOME page and another thing they state is you CAN, I repeat, YOU CAN MAIL your payment to them. The scam company's refuse an address because that can be traced. They can hide behind alias names in getting your banaking info or use alternate PO box etc to hide behind.

NEVER deal with an agency (or so called agency) that refuses to give you their physical address. Chances are they are not real and only a scammer.

I find there "website" interesting.

1. The fax# is a Jacksonville, FL phone # but they have that they are located in Cheekatowga, NY, which is it?

2.  Just like scam company's NO ADDRESS to send your payment. You can only pay via Debit card, bank wire, mastercard and ACH. No way to send a payment via cashiers check or money order or such. Legit collection agencies will allow mailed payments. Why would you give a company your banking or credit card info? They want it to get more $$ from you. I would be very careful in dealing with them


Mike H.. you did not question them on why the amount was increased? You will not go to jail for non payment of a debt. If they threatened you that is a violation of the FDCPA.

Look at the following http://www.callercenter.com/904-416-0769.html.. a JDS in Jacksonville.

This company isn't a scam, I called about a payday loan I owed with check n go, and they referred me to JDS Recovery as the company that owns the debt. I called the number and was told they had my account and that my balance was $750. The original loan was for $500 so I guess there were fees and costs on the account since it was 3 years old. I made the payment and they sent me a letter showing it was paid. I'm not sure about everyone else on here but if you owe the debt than it's probably a legit call. I don't think you can go to jail though if you don't pay.

Laura.. I find a few things not add up here.. Either you are ignorent on all other posting on this site about SCAMS or you yourself are a shill.

1. If after 6 years the account is charged off.. the "store" you went to would not be able to look it up for one. If it was a local payday loan office then they could have taken your money right then.
2. You will NOT go to jail for a debt.
3. If they sent you a letter then you could have paid them via money order but when they talk to you they said only greendot.(scams will tell you only to send payments via western union or greendot or obtain your banking info.

If it is legit go back to the so called store and pay them and get a receipt stating you paid the debt in full.

IT IS A SCAM. THEY ARE OUT OF BUFFALO NY NOT FLORIDA . THEY ADD ABOUT $1000 TO EVERY ACCNT . THE DEBT IS REAL IN MOST CASES BUT U DONT OWE NEARLY WHAT THEY SAY .
