THESE B*****DS ARE LIARS AND MANIPULATERS.  THEY BUY OLD DEBTS.  THEY ARE SKILLED AT INTIMIDATION.  Don't answer calls with numbers you do not recognize.  If you acknowledge any part of the debt they are attempting to resurrect from the past (debts that have passed the statute of limitations) or pay as little as $10, the entire amount, interest, penalties, legal fees, extortion fees, will begin as a new debt.  Debt collectors should be treated no differently than a thug breaking into your home, threatening your person and possessions.  Know your rights.  If you mistakenly answer a call from them, deny knowing anyone or anything.  They can go to HELL!!!

I have been paying this company, now they trying to get me to double pay. I will be stopping payment to them as of today.

We have been called dozens of times in the past 30 days.  It is a recording or nothing.

I actually did not receive any calls from this company, but 'Brad Sutton", from RJA Capital has managed to leave messages about me with just about all my friends and family, not sure how he got their phone numbers, but he did. I called him this morning to find out who he was, and why he was looking for me, the call back number he left is: 607-231-8060...He has got to be the most unprofessional person I have ever came across, screaming at me, threatening me..I explained to him that I honestly had no idea about any of the information he was trying to give me, and to please send me some information by mail, and mentioned my rights under the FDCPA, I think that is what set him off, he proceeded to scream over me, threatening me, not letting me speak at all, and basically told me that the sheriff would be contacting me, and good luck. If "Brad", and "RJA Capital" was legitimate, they would not need to use threats to intimidate people into paying them (which is illegal), and they would have absolutely no problem sending the information by mail (which is required by law under the FDCPA). I am 100% sure that I don't owe any outstanding debt, and I have not written any "bad checks" as he tried to claim. This company needs to be shut down, as they are using illegal practices to try and get money out of people.

received calls from this number several times a day.  no messages left and I am not sure that they are a legitimate calls to my number.

I also got a call from 888-569-9635 they said there name was kelly mattews and i kept askin what do they want to talk to my mom about and they wouldnt answer they just said they have a very inportant person in there office or somthin like that and to call no later then 5 pm. im glad i looked this up it was kinda weird.

Yes these no good rotten scumbag pieces of dog excriment, called me at work, even after repeated requests to not do that.  I asked the one representitive who was decent to send some proof of this debt as i have no knowledge of it and he said he would, he called 3 days later asking when i was going to pay and when i informed him i hadn't recived it he called me a "liar" and a "deadbeat" and when he realised it had only been 3 days he hung up.   the next call was at my work again and the same thing with the name calling and and abusiveness, i just filed a complaint with the FTC and the Texas attorny general's office and the BBB, i know that is like pissing on a wildfire but i feel as it is my only recourse, i wish i could get these fellas' numbers and call them all day and night and thier moms and dads and let them know what a** hats they are.  The best part is the paperwork they sent is from a creditor i have never heard of, so i wrote them disputing and asking not to call my work or home any longer. Hope they all get in a car wreck riding together on thier way to lunch and probably at some sh*t hole fast food place because they are so awesome, not in any way because people who eat fast food are in any way undesirable, because they are, but these d bags arnt

Got a call from 716-558-5806 from a man name James for P&B Capitol on "MY" cell phone asking for my ex husband. "James" wouldnt & says couldnt give me no information on this case and wont give me a case number because he is not calling for me and its none of my business. Old rude a**!! So my comment was since this is "MY' cell & hes my ex husband & you dont want to give me no information so I can speak to my ex about this to help ya'll out, lose my damn number & if you call back I will personally come to New York & whip your a**!!! Told him numberous of times not to call my cell & they still do!

This guy named " John Cuningham" started calling me this morning and o boi has he been presistent even calling my home! i have no idea who these poeple are, and boi is he the rudest collector thats ever called me. I keep telling him that not me and he keeps saying it is? haha ediot, and he gave me an ultimatum to call him by 6pm today? really after all i have read about these people no thanks I will keep ignoring there calls man ima have to change my number!

Whats funny is Everything you are saying in 100% true, I actually use to work for them and I had to leave because they are so full of it. The company is going down, I'm just glad I got out of there before the fall occured. Don't worry about their threatening calls they cant do anything to you. If you just fax them a signed letter telling them not to call anymore than they wont. What a***oles, ashamed to have to put them on my resume... smh..

I received a call AT WORK asking me to call Meosha (ext 241) reguarding a credit card collection. After discussion with the woman for a while, I realized what she was trying to collect and it was on an account I settled in 2008. I was called a liar about paying the account and about what exactly the collection was for. The woman stated that there was no payment to the account and that I would have to contact the company I paid to prove that the account is closed and also said that she is serving me to pay for the amount she is asking plus attorney fees. They gave me 24 hours to fax them proof of the account being paid in full YEARS ago even though I told her that I will need time to do the research and request a letter from the company I paid. She said that I did not need to take the time because I never paid anything and I that I am a lying dirbag. Because she spoke to my supervisor before me, my work now thinks I am not paying my bills (and I work in payroll). I have no idea how they got my work number, especially since I just started working here, but to the best of my knowledge, they can not contact my employer, especially before contacting me.

"Mrs Williams" called me today saying she needed my attorney's number....She spoke incredibly fast and was difficult to understand.

BTW I love this website. It keeps my mind at ease. I cannot believe the amount of these "collecton agencies" are out there trying to scam people. What i'd love to know is how exactly they find my number. I only have a cell phone and give it out to NOONE if I don't know them. SO has my mobile carrier sold my number to these jack***es?

Also if you look at P&B's website they have a blurb on there about being careful about what you read on blogging sites..LOL nothing like a little damage control...

today Chris Millir of Phillips and Burns called my cell. called himself an officer. so when i called him back he started asking me information regaurding my address phone numbers famill maiden names stuff like that. i respecfully refused. he then told me he was a collection agency for HSBC bank and that he was handleing my debt. talking for a bit he then said how much i owed...it was 500$ more than i knew i did. he said he would take half of what i owe if i paid right then and there to settle my debt. as soon as i mentioned my laywer talking to him he became rude and had a harsher tone trying to assure me i didnt need one. he continues to call me today trying verify that i will be paying him. a little eager. i just want to say thank you world wide web. i looked up the firm and found out many bad reviews about being a holes and scam/con artists. i will not be sending any money to this guy but be aware of a Chris Miller with the phone number 716-270-5517 it is a scam. i called HSBC directly and found that they do not even deal with any firm Named Phillips and Burns or P&B. and was even sujested to call the local sherrif fraud dept by the telephone operator

Be careful of these folks. They have your credit card #s from any default loans you might have had. Even if you have paid them off.  They will use a similar credit card # thinking if it's an old debt  you might not quite remember. Never call these people back!

Left message looking for Candace Hubacek who does not live at the residence.  Also called from 813-579-9382.  Both phone numbers dial Andrew Foreman who will not identify his company or state his business.

Got a call from 224-588-5682 (Wheeling, IL) which when I answered said it for me and then some lady by the name of Flesha (she spelled it) said she had a case number that was put against me and I was to call back to 866-660-1627 and the name of the company was P&B Capital Group.  Would not tell me anymore.

they called my daughter and said they had been trying to reach me to serve me with papers I have never heard of this company. If they can get my daughters info why not mine? I am not calling them. She gave them my address.

Received voicemail from a male caller, calling for my sons name, who hasn't lived with me in over 25 years, identifying himself as William Golden of Philips and Burns law office regarding claim # 6836-95. Requested I call to settle out of court. Have no idea what he is talking about.

I have recived two calls, the latest from a male voice who says he is William Golden of Phillips and Burns. He asked for a woman who is known to me but not affiliated with me. He asked for her and/or her attorney to call his at 1-866-660-1627 Ext 305 to settle a claim out of court. He purports himself to be an attorney. The othr call I recived was from 1-866-480-0992- Ext 307, wherer he used another name but was the same voice. When I spoken to callers direct I have demanded that they remove my number from the list and not call. Each time I ma assured that they will do so. Yet the calls have continued for at least two years.

I just received a call on my cell phone from this guy who gave me a claim number was trying to reach an ex g/f of mine.  We've been apart for a some time.  If they're trying to serve her papers for something, I most certainly am not relaying the information.  Does anyone know if this is a legitimate law office or some kind of con?

phillips and burns is a COLLECTION AGENCY out of buffalo ny.

These people are real a-holes, I did some research about them and found links and links about bad comments about them. P & B capital group  they kept calling my house harassing me for someone else asking if I know them, saying that that person left my number as a point of contact after telling them 15 times that I don’t know this person they told me its in reference to a legal matter and that I need to get a message to that person. I did some research on them and found out that PHILLIPS AND BURNS LLC is P and B capital group. They had so many negative blogs about them under Phillips and Burns llc that they changed their name to P&B Private Company, Headquarters Location
461 Ellicott St., Ste. 3, Buffalo, NY 14203, United States
(716)891-5800 same address is under P&B capital
They are a scam and they are a collection agency  the owners are SEAN, RYAN AND FOR THE FLORIDA OFFICE ITS BRAD. They went to the point of using BRAD BURNS as a name when the registered name is BRAD SPOORS
Be careful of this company they have lots of law suits out there for abusing people

I am in a similar situation. I have been making payments for over a year. However, I've never received proof of payments. The current representative handling my case said he would send receipts and a letter indicating the remaining balance. To date, I have not received anything. Luckily, I have my bank statements. This is a good thing but it is also bad because they have (well now HAD) access to my bank account. My biggest mistake was giving them this information because in good will, I really wanted to resolve this debt. According to my records, the debt was paid in full July 2009. However, the representative said that I would be done in November. I recently called the general information number because I've called him numerous times but have yet to hear from him. I was informed he no longer works there.

got a message from 1-866-660-1627 ext. 236. The person said it was Carli Snyder. She even left a case number and that I needed to call ASAP to find out.  This is P & B harassing people again.  I am writing this as a comment to document that the call was made on the day before Labor Day 2009.  Now the whole world can tell that this collection agency is just hanging themselves!!!!!

Also receiving calls from these jerks - we had another co. out of Chicago try these same tactics - they evidently buy or get a list of "alleged" debts and try to bulldoze their way to a settlement with rudeness and scare tactics. could not or would not provide any details in writing and will report them at next contact. Caller hung up and told me she'd see us in court when I told her to quit calling without further written doucmentation of their claim.
