In kind, abused consumers will refer to their own attorneys to sue you and your boss for sloppy skip tracing, rude treatment, ignoring no-call demands, and chasing bills which are paid and disputed.

your right we cant garnish ur wages but we do refer accts for suit to the attorneys

Ive had them call me about an "outstanding" bill. I knew insurance had paid, but I set up a payment plan anyway so I could clear up the insurance issue and so it wouldn't ding my credit score. I was right, and insurance paid and KCI promptly sent me a full refund. I recently received a letter about a bill that my insurance company hasn't paid on yet, and once again...they let me set up a payment plan so I could take care of things while safeguarding my credit score. I've never had any issues with them.

The call for bills that don't exist. They are CROOKS....someone has to do something about this b/s.

Okay so then who's problem is it of the person who has the debt has given somebody the wrong #? How do you get these people off your back. I've had this same # for years!!!! And owe no debt to anyone!!! So where do I go to complain when this same company continues to call even though you are NOT the person they are trying to contact? Where do you go to complain? I've repeatedly told these people they have the wrong #. Very frustrating...

These people are Kansas Counselors and they are pretty rude in order to collect money from medical bills.

Got a call from 913-541-9925 someone named Brooke calling about an old debt that wasn't even mine. Folks don't be scared of these a**holes when they call you ,  I had a good old time with her. She's busting my chops threatening to sue me for $200.00. My reply was simple , I said ok your going to sue me lets get the show on the road. You'll spend at least 3 times that amount retaining a lawyer not to mention court costs to file so in the long run you spent around $800.00 to collect $200.00 LOL. Let's do it , and the ho hung up on me LMAO.

After reading comments already posted I understand who and what these calls are for.  I don't owe any bills and I'm not sure who  they are trying to contact. Thank you for answering machines.  They can call until you know what freezes over, I will not call them back.  I consider this harassement, pure and simple.  I did try to answer once to read them the riot act, however, it was only a recording.  If they really wanted info. a live person should be on the phone to talk to you.  Do you really think anyone running from unpaid bills will ever call back?

thanks for the info.  to the guy who left the message PAY YOUR BILLS, yeah buddy, I do.  Currently working on paying off 3 in payments and there are many more to go.  But when it comes to paying the power or a medical bill what are you going to do.  Besides that, the ironic part of all of this is the medical bills are always conveniently submitted higher and then doctors will write 1/4 of it off at least and have already been paid.  But to you I am just some lowlife.  I guess b/c my 2 kids were in NICU when they were born, that is my fault.  Oh and by the way, just so ya know, apparently I make too much money to qualify for any type of government assistance and have never received anything although both my husband and myself work full-time and PAY into the system. Go ahead and sit on your high horse and judge others when you have no clue what their situation could be.  Just goes to show the kind of world we live in.  Oh and by the way buddy, yes, I believe in paying your debts it just takes some of us a little longer than the alloted time!!!

I just called this number back. They ansered KCI didn't give a name or anything. They told me they called looking for a Tasha and I didn't even give them the number that they called. They said they will remove my number from the list so we will see what happens.

913-541-9925 Got a call from this number no message left. Anyone know who this is?

These guys are usually collecting a medical debt.  They are not to be trusted and will not honor deals not in writing.    Do not send them money as it will still lead to a bad mark on your credit report.    They call many times during the day with precorded messages.     They will call any number they can dig up, no matter how old, and harrass anybody that answers, even though the person they want does not live there.

Very sad operation and I would advise you to not give them any info or money!

I've been receiving calls from them for sometime now and never once they mention who they are. They sound so happy on the phone and leave a message that doesn't state anything else besides their name. Every time they call it's a different person.

These people have been calling me every day for 6 years.  I finally started blocking their numbers, I have blocked 29 so far and the list keeps growing.   They have left a wide variety of different pre-recorded messages.   The very rare times they have asked for a person by name, they have asked either for a Mr. Gonzalez or for a Middle-Eastern name that I can't quite make out.  Neither are me, and I have had this same phone number for almost 20 years.  I do not have any outstanding debts with anyone.

I have told them numerous times that they are calling an incorrect number, and they either do not believe me or do not care.    I have also invoked my rights and sent two formal cease and desist letters, both have been ignored.   I'm at my wits end.  I refuse to change a phone numebr that I have had for 2 decades just because of these scame artists.

I implore anyone who getrs a call from them, give them NO information and NO money.  They are absolutely scam artists.

They called saying this is Vickie give me a call back about something IDK....

What a bunch of slime balls! The post "pay your bills" evidently works for them and thinks its o.k. to be a rude jerk.  I was contacted by them for a claim that was never turned in.  You can't pay a bill if you don't know you owe it!  Tried to explain this to them and was basically told they didn't care about the details "just pay us". Hopefully this will be straightened out soon and we won't get the cheesy "Hi, this is Vicki.....crap anymore. I know times are rough and a job is a job but I believe the people who have this job just enjoy being jerks.

Their address is: 8725 Rosehill Rd
Lenexa, KS 66215 maybe they would like to be harassed

Let me explain a little something to you people who are complaining.  This is a collection agency!  People owe money that must be paid back.  I am so tired of everyone getting upset that they are getting calls and get automated messages.  The company has more than 3000 clients that people owe money too.  Take that by over a 1000 people per client that is a whole lot people who owe money.  If you receive services and don't pay them back you are going to get calls until you pay.  Unfortunately, that is why dialers have to be used to reach all the people who don't pay their bills!!!! We wonder why the country is in a mess people who over extend themselves and then sit around complaining that they can't pay their bills.  For those of you that are receiving phone calls and it is not you that is owed please do not get upset at the company that made the phone call.  When people are receiving services they are giving out your number, now it could have been theirs at the time, but you must explain that to the company.  If new claims come into the company with the same # that unfortunately will also have to be told wrong #.  That is the unfortunate problem with being able to change #'s easily.  The rest of us who don't owe the bill have to put up with those who do.  Just a little information to think about!

I am getting quite annoyed by these people.  It is one thing that they call everyday, it is another that even when I answer, all I get is a recording telling me they are trying to reach me and to call them.  If they really had something important to discuss, why don't they have someone call personally, instead of a recording telling me to call them, but doesn't say what it is about.  Horrible business practice!

I get at least 8 calls a week from these people on my cell phone there are only5 people who have my phone number. I have asked them repeatedly to stop as each phone call costs me money. Angry....

just got a call but I dont know who or what.... so why would i call back?

This is a collection agency, Kansas Counselors, Inc or KCI.  They always leave messages that state "Hey this is Bob, call me back about an important business matter."

They are trying to collect on an old debt.

This number is trying to reach my grandson in which I have not seen in five years...I asked to be taken off the list of numbers and got hung up on...so I called back and they just kept hanging up when they saw my number I'm guessing on caller ID.  Really ANNOYING!!!

Kansas Counselors keep calling for my former roommate--who is dead.  He has been dead since last October.  Everyone I talk to assures me that they will make a note of that in the file, but the calls keep coming.  Are they so stupid that they think I'll pay his bill just so they will stop calling?

I got a call from the number that said "Hi My Name Is Vicki, my number again is 913-541-9925 if you cant reach me talk to anyone!" she was very chipper and did not mention who she called for.

Same clever,yet uninformative ,ruse here too. Put them on phone BLOCK, end of problem.

They said it was a personal matter.  They didn't leave a business name. This is the only call I have received.

This company is Annoying.

I received a call from KANSAS Counselors -- I called them back as they were calling my business line.

They were looking for a Deborah Ortega.  I've had this phone number for over 15 years & never had a Deborah Ortega working for me. I explained this to them.  They asked me to hang on & then we got disconnected.

Great...

They called me from 913-825-3273 but wanted me to call back to 913-541-9925

I received a call from this number. The caller left a voicemail saying that his name was Bob and it is VERY IMPORTANT that I call him back.

Thanks for the info on here... I thought it was either a scam or a bill collector after he repeated how important it was to call him back like three times. grr.
