Hey Mike...I f**cked
your sister

i am a f---ing a--hole and have no clue what i'm talking about guess its because i have a sh--hole of a life

I too got a call on my cell phone--the man was looking for someone I never heard of. The caller ID showed a different # (425-740-3600) than was given.

Ihave been harrassed by Luke Pearson, his supervisors Aaron Danield and Michael __.  I get an average of 3 calls per day with threatening messages left using the terminology that I am "negligent".  I have tried to get them to stop calling only to have the said "manager" laugh at me saying he was trying hard to act like he cared.

Their numbers are 425-740-3600 and 1-888-333-1095!

This is the worst case of thugs working for collectors I have ever seen.  I am not the person they are looking for and they feel that they can get information out of me with this harrassment.

well get over it.

first of all reliant hand dials you worked at one collection agency so u think u know how it works. I hope you go into debt and get your wages garned.

and i got payed pretty good there but when i quit i didnt get my last check as expected by a starting company run by a corrupt person

I worked there and I thought it was fun pretending to be a lawyer. Hilarious how ppl who have claimed there to broke to pay suddenly have the cash to pay.

Peace of s*** liar debtors.

You know why I have never gone to collections?
I pay my bills on time and am not a peace of s*** debtor.

Were i work rite now I am suing a millionaire dr who owns his own medical facility who owes a medical facility 1000 dollars. What a peace of s*** debtor this guy is has more then enough money and I have to put a garn on his home to get him to pay.

Your all peace of s*** debtors.

I work for a agency rite now that been in business for 30 years and we sue ppl all day long that claim they already payed it.

Don't pay your bills get used to it. Just cause your a peace of s*** debtor and forgot about it and now think you payed it doesn't mean you payed it and are not a peace of s*** debtor.

I worked for this company and it was horrible no doubt. First pay check bounced. but I did eventually get payed and decently at that.

But you are a peace of s*** debtor. Pay your bills or go to collections get used to it. Your a douche.

I posted that I got a call from Reliant Recoveries for the # 425-740-3600 but the rude caller gave the above toll-free # on the voice mail. I am not the person they are looking for & have no idea who he is.

Oh yeah ... I forgot to mention that they also accused me of paying off a Judge.  (That was Michael Banks).

Received a call for my former husband (been divorced 11 years).  It was for a debt in 2001 (you do the math). I called to ask them not to call again, but instead was rudely insulted by two guys a David Walker and Michael Banks. They asked if I was smart enough to get out a pen and paper to write down what they said and also attempted to lecture me on Community Property Law in Texas (my last recollection was that it only applied if you were legally married to the person at that time).

I could not even have a half way decent conversation with them because they were so harrassing and rude.  

I do promise to use the name Reliant Recoveries (along with their ***David Walker and Michael Banks (thank goodness I was smart enough to get out that pencil and paper **** and phone numbers (1-888-333-1095) at every opportunity I get when I speak.

I've worked for a debt collection company before so I know how it works.. They are set up on a dialer system
(some) that automatically calls debtors, screens the # saying its a maryland # or something.. The employees only have certain info, address, name, #, SSN either full or last 4 for verification, they are usually 1-6 year old debts..
If you dont believe its your debt check your credit report, call the "Client," Verizon, Sprint or w/e it is... The employees have miniscule information on the accounts, they cant explain why its that much, they have to guess, like early term fee-$150, 1 mo service-$70 thats why your bill its $220.. People give collectors a hard time, I was always willing to work with my debtors but a lot are ignorant a***oles who dont pay there bills anyways.. AS A CONSUMER YOU GUYS HAVE SOME RIGHTS.. They need to state a mini miranda, they can only talk to the debtor or spouse, there is a lot of loops holes that you could sue the s*** out of them.. I dont have more time to explain, just look around..

read dealing with debt collectors and send them a letter certified mail - return receipt (proof in court) that you dispute the debt and to cease communications with you.  You will find dispute and cease comm letters under that link

From Federal Trade Commission Website ? FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
    they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans? Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members? Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

Derrick Wood 888 333 1095 - Reliant Recoveries - sometimes they call themselves Reliance Recoveries and other times they sound like they say
Reliant.  They have a lot of scare tactics -- "strongly suggest" you contact us immediately.  They completely ignore certified letters instructing them to communicate only in writing.  They provided me no document of any debt -- they have never sent me anything in the mail -- the phone calls just started out of the blue and they expect me to verify my social security number over the phone (that won't happen!).    First I received phone calls from their 425 area code --and now am getting phone calls from their toll free number.  Report them -- they can be personally fined for continuing to break the law.

They are a scam.  They were previously Green Tree Acquisitions and closed up shop there with no forwarding number.

Won't provide me with any documentation to verify this is my debt. For all I know, this could be some elaborate con scheme.

Received call also.  What did they want?
