Rude company stating my account has been compromised

if you are replying on behalf of a collection agency and you are calling people out of their name, how professional do you think that makes you look? More importantly, who's going to pay someone like you, money?

Interesting , is this the group of dirty scum that gets togethor to try and find ways of not paying back debts ? lol

You seem like a very reputable and intelligent agency... Your vocabulary is amazing!

You're*
That's ironic ain't it...idiot

These people have been calling my job and my mother, but I have checked over and over ....I HAVE NO OUTSTANDING DEBT.I called back one day and they asked for my social security and I told them that there has to be a different way of pulling up my info. The guy put me on hold for about 10 secs and then hung up.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

This number has been calling me everyday and said they will continue to call til I pay. I told him I don't have a job at the moment and I'm doing my best as it is ,I will pay as soon as I can . And he said it didn't matter if i had a job or not that i could send in a dollar at a time if needed everyone could get that. He was rude and disrespectful and then he started talkin about his self about he pays his dept with no problem and he's a father of 4 and has grandchildren . Like that has anything to do with me . Then I said I didn't care about u and ur sittuation and yall need to stop blowing up my phone every five mins and he started to say c u just said u didn't care if u pay ur bill or not . And I didnt say that at all . Theses ppl really don't care bout what u say to them.

THEY KEEP CALLING SAYING IT A LEGAL

You collector person are really wrong and stupid. You need to go back and read some more..You have no idea what you are doing in your job..Thats if you still have this job

caller keeps calling for me to call back or for my legal representation to call immediately.

You have posted you phone number on a public forum. Admin information is at the bottom. Contact them to have it removed. You can be sure that by posting your personal information you will get more calls.

I donot want any calls from you guys because I dont owe any money you have the wrong person,  My number is 917-776-2098, stop calling me or else Ill sue you guys,  Sarah Sanders the lady lady that calls she is very rude, and unprofessional and her supervisor was the same, he told me that she dont have rto respect me and shes calling my phone. DONT CALL ME I DONT OWE ANY MONEY TO NO ONE, I WILL SUE YOU GUYS IF YOU IT IT AGAIN.Thank You

Just got a phone call from a Mark Weber...Said, he needed to talk to me and I needed to cal him back @ 1-88-676-9872 extenison 1105. But the phone # that came up on caller id is 904-398-0080.... ???

Did you check to see if they have the right mailing address??? Perhaps you should check your credit report. Maybe you should even return the call and find out what it's in regards to. CA's are only obligated to send letters to the address provided by the OC. If you move around a lot they may not be able to catch up to you.

I paid a debt a year ago and they are refusing to contact the next people up to clear the account. What is my next steps?

Received voice message at work from "Naomi Grant of PDM" (caller id: 908-398-0080) asking that I or my legal representative call her back immediately at 888-676-9872 ext. 1214. I have never heard of this outfit before. Scare tactics like this don't work on me. If they acted like a valid collection agency, I would have a letter in accordance with the FDCA act that clearly states the name of the original creditor, the loan number and the amount owed with a statement that I have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt. They aren't acting like a legitimate debt collector. They can go pound salt.

IF THEY ARE CALLING YOUR MOBILE PHINES JUST PUT THESE BI****S NUMBERS ON YOUR BLOCKED CALL LOST VIA YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT OR CALL YOUR WIRELESS SERVICE PROVIDER IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW O SET THIS UP!! BLOCK THEIR STUPID A***S TO HELL!!!

They guess.  If you pick up the phone they ask questions, then they find a way to make it about you.
Therefore, these ******** SCAMMERS *******   need to find a real job and perhaps not lie as a profession

Awesome message! LOL They can suck my right nip!

I lost my job 3 yrs ago due to a medical condition.  Then, I declared bankruptcy.  All of my debts were discharged.  It is illegal for collectors to contact me.  According to my lawyer, collectors can check whose debts have been discharged through bankruptcy and I can sue any collector who continues to contact me by phone or mail.  P.S. I never took out any payday loans, as I see someone was talking about.

The person they are looking for doesn't live here.

You and the rest of the collection agencys can suck my balls.

And now you know why people hate dealing with you people....your mother would be proud.

I don't think you will ever get your money back.  They sound like "hicks"!  Won't tell you what it's about and expect you to send them money?!  What planet are they from?  I have a friend who is a bill collector and she is a nice person until she gets to work.  She says they are trained to scare you and make you feel like s**t.  Great job for "gargoyles".  My friend is pretty, but ugly insides will show on the outsides!  She quit her job and got another one.  She was getting "crabby" looking from being mean.

well I actually called PDM to settle a debt and they said they would not sent any information through the postal service or email to verify amount owed. They would not tell me how much was owed or any kind if reference or account number on debt. ALL they wanted was a bank account number and routing number so they can directly withdraw the amount owed.. are these people f***ing stupid or something? right let me give you my info and not know how much what its for and claiming you cant send anything in mail.... get real

they called my work place saying to call before 4pm next day!!!!

i keeping getting this man who calls and does not identify himself or which company he represents. he just says that i need to call its very important. first of all, i don't return calls to people who don't provide information to me.

Your an idiot,get a real job looser
