Debt Collector
Just got a call from these people saying that my ex-fiancee used me as a reference. I thought it was odd, since I haven't spoken to him in six years, and asked what sort of reference. They proceeded to tell me (without any further questions on my part) that this was from a student loan he applied for nearly a decade ago and has not paid on in two years, that they have been trying to track him down but suspect he is now in jail. The caller (Sara Miller) then demanded that I give her any information I have on his whereabouts. I repeated my earlier statement that I have not spoken to him in years and was told that as his ex-fiancee I had to be lying, that I would not lose track of this person. When I insisted that I don't know anything and asked that my contact information be removed from the file, Ms. Miller informed me that was impossible, that my ex-fiance had made me a part of his financial profile and they would continue to call until I tell them where he is. It's been a long time since I've had such an aggressive, unprofessional interaction with a debt collector. I feel badly for anyone in their files. It's bad enough to have a debt without worrying that the collection agency is telling anyone and everyone who'll talk to them everything about you.

I received a message
Informed me not to listen to the mesage if it wasn't me.
This is ?General Revenue Corporation? calling about about a defaulted federal student loan in our office with a balance of $X,XXX.05.
"The Law does require that I do let you know that this is an attempt to collect on a debt.  And all information is used specifically for that purpose.
Please return our call @ 1-888-710-6819 the reference # is XXXXXX. Thank you."

Called and left message on our company general voicemail asking for Payroll and leaving a "reference number" - no mention as to the name of their company or the reason for their call.  Saw on 1-800notes and this website that they are bill collectors.  Whatever, I just blocked them on our Virtual PBX system.  Losers!

Called and left a message on our company general phone number asking for "Payroll" and then giving a reference number.  They did not once state what company they are calling from or what it was about.  They'd better get a new number, because I just went and BLOCKED their incoming calls.  So freaking annoying.

I have now received 3 calls from this number. They are a debt collecting agency according to the message the woman left. It may have been a recording, the messages are all the same. She said she's collecting on a student loan. I have no student loans and never have. People like this contribute greatly to making this world a s*** hole.

You want proof?:

Criminals often lie to get into the debt collections industry. Despite a Minnesota law, rapists thieves and other offenders are cleared to work as collectors -- with access to financial data.

Lee Song had already been caught forging checks when she swindled her former employer out of $127,122 by submitting phony payment vouchers.

Yet, less than four years later, the Minnesota Commerce Department cleared Song to work as a debt collector -- a job with access to people's private financial information.

Song is one of at least 743 criminal offenders in Minnesota who have been registered as debt collectors since 2005, a Star Tribune investigation has found.

When offenders filled out state applications to be debt collectors, 75 percent of them lied about having a criminal past. The Commerce Department, which regulates collectors, routinely approves criminals to work in the collections industry without conducting background checks.

"The system in this state for screening collectors is broken," said Patrick Hayes, a consumer attorney in Minneapolis. "These are people who can find out where you bank, where you live, even where your friends and relatives live, and the state doesn't seem to care if they are hardened criminals. Why even register collectors if you register criminals?"

Their crimes include identity theft, rape, check forgery, assault, and most frequent, serious drunken driving offenses. Most offenders can legally work as collectors because state law excludes only those convicted of fraud or any felony within five years of their application.

Still, some collectors who shouldn't qualify because of their recent crimes are getting jobs. Since 2005, at least 111 registered collectors, including Song, had committed crimes that under state law should have barred them from debt collecting, according to the Star Tribune analysis of registration and court data. About a third of them still are registered as collectors.

Song, 32, went on an illegal shopping spree after the state approved her application to work at Receivables Management Solutions, a collections firm in West St. Paul. She ordered $1,561 in jewelry, car repairs and food using credit card numbers stolen from people she telephoned about unpaid debts. When police in April led Song away from the call center, it was the fourth time in nine years she was arrested for a financial crime.

Not checking the lies

The Commerce Department says it lacks resources to conduct criminal background checks on all applicants and asserts that collections firms must do it or face fines. Yet collections firms often point to state government for registering criminals as collectors, effectively giving them a stamp of approval.

"If there are instances of registered collectors operating in Minnesota with a felony conviction on their record, it is because the collection agencies they work for failed to do a thorough background check," said Nicole Garrison-Sprenger, a Commerce Department spokeswoman.

The department said it reviews the criminal records only of those who check the box admitting to past crimes, or when the department receives information suggesting someone has a criminal history. Criminals who lie don't get a background check.

"It makes absolutely no sense," said state Sen. Sandra Pappas, DFL-St. Paul, who has sponsored legislation to protect consumers with debts. She said she was not aware of the limited screening until the Star Tribune asked her about it. "People can simply lie and say they don't have any convictions and get registered anyway."

One in 12 debt collector applicants cleared to work in Minnesota call centers since 2005 had criminal records in the state. And 120 of the 743 offenders were registered more than once.

Some collections firms say they check every applicant, but offenses can be missed because of errors in criminal databases. Other firms wrongly assume the Commerce Department routinely conducts criminal background checks, according to the industry trade group ACA International, based in Edina.

"In some instances, there is a misunderstanding over who is actually doing the work," said ACA spokesman Mark Schiffman. "I've heard from a few [collection] agencies who thought this was the responsibility of the state."

He said hiring people recently convicted of felonies or fraud is "intolerable."

John,
What proof do you have that collection agencies hire ex-cons?  My guess is that you assumed that by the sound of this Embry character's voice, you assumed he must be black.  I looked him up on fb, and it turns out he is black.  My guess is that since he sounded black, you figured he must be an ex-con. General Revenue Corporation is owned by Sallie Mae.  I highly doubt they're in the business of hiring ex-cons...just a hunch.  So again, do you have any proof collection agencies hire ex-cons, or are you just racist?

Thank you for a very supportive admission - to a necessary and supportive chain of evidence. Great explanation; I'm glad there is one of you who seems to be providing an honest position about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, but there are wolves (predators) in the hen-house. This blog is fantastic; the attorneys I will be meeting with later are going to love it as supportive evidence. Please do not make any attempt to contact me or my office after this post, keeping in my I will be represented by legal counsel by the time I complete this post.

I would like to call upon all of you - as victims of this illicit debt collection agency - to contact and file a formal written complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission against the collection agency and their agency's illicit and unlawful debt collection practices; violations of the Federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.

As a licensed California private investigator, with 21 years in the business of investigating fraud and abuse, these collection agency goons contacted my office last week - the male representative identified himself as Anthony Embry from phone 888-710-6819 - who unlawfully pretext me at my office regarding my neighbor, who lives across the street. Not only was Embry's pretext call to me regarding a debt I had no connection illegal, but upon my calling him on his bluff, Embry shared privileged debtor information with me on the phone in that call; he shared that I had allowed the alleged debtor, my neighbor, to use me as a job reference. Embry (probably an ex-con, as most of these collection agencies hire) was a complete a** and by the time I demanded answers from him, Embry implied he was some sort of federal authority for Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and then hung up on me. As a result, I phoned the number and was greeted by an extremely rude female, who refused to provide her name. I advised her that I would be filing an US FTC complaint against their business entity and those aforementioned engaged in illicet and illegal collection trade practices. I urge you all to do the same. Since the collection agency engaged in illicet trade practices by contacting my corporation, I will be doing some background on the company, their executive officers, and will post that information on this blog later this week, for your information to also file FTC Complaints.

This collection agency is absolutely out of control and they need to be put out of business; quickly. Thank you for this blog. You may also e-mail me at www.alphaoneinvestigationsinc.com through our contact tab.

Hey I really want to know what a debt collector can do when someone in this situation:

I am unemployed. Have been for over 2 years now. I've been applying for jobs of course but just getting no luck at all it seems. I don't have ANY income to speak of so even if i wanted to pay off my debt, I can't. I know these calls are about school loans most likely but really what in the world am I suppose to do? I am forced to let it set there collecting interest and building up. I don't want it to, but in the end I have no choice at all.

I'm a friggin' lost cause as far as I'm concerned until I get a job which I HOPE happens soon...

Really though, what are they supposed to do with cases like me? I don't want them harrasing and lying to my family with this B.S. about it being a damn job reference. My aunt was all excited for me when she got that call yesterday and when I checked up on the number (because they didn't tell her what job it was for) it ended up being one of these... This is seriously stressing and upsetting. In my opinion I don't think they have the right to lie like that and get someone's hopes up. I just want it to stop while I get a chance to get my life back on track.

From other reports I've seen, and from my own experience with them, they usually say they got your number through an old friend of yours.  They don't always call people who owe them money either, which is odd.  They've also been known to ask for your personal data (address, number, etc.), information they should already have.  At this point, it's questionable whether they're a legitimate company collecting debts or not.

I'm 99% sure this is a scam with a "we don't want to divulge personal information" cover. They ask for your SSN in the first 10 seconds of the phone call. I gave them a nice piece of my mind and all of a sudden some how she "already knows my SSN and asks me to verify" she gave me some bu***hit number and I told her that that was incorrect. Then she tries to get smart with me and says "see if you the John ****** we were looking for you wouldn't want me to be divulging personal information that's why we need a social security number"... *cricket* *cricket* *chirp chrip* HEY DUMB A** YOU JUST GAVE ME THEIR SSN! (I also could have easily said that was my SSN and listened to this oh so personal information). She also asked to confirm an address which was way the hell in LA. So if this is a real company this idiot should be fired because she just gave me someone's SSN, address, and the person has the same name as me apparently.

- and I am not the person they're even looking for! I called them and have requested for them to stop calling my Cell phone, chewing up my time and that I am NOT this person. I filed another complaint with "Do Not Call" meanwhile, they still call. This is harassment, right? Don't I have grounds for a lawsuit?

She said that if I got the call then I owe money! What a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ liar! These phone calls cost me money on my cell. I am going to send a complaint to the Attorney General of Indiana about this, provided it is really in Indiana.
