Making a  monthly payment can reset the statute of limitations on your debt. It can also open you to future litigation.

Never agree to anything with a debt  collector company unless you spoke to an experienced, competent attorney who has your best interest

Junk debt buyer, NEVER HAS CORRECT PAPER work, if you get sued always challenge them, they do not have standing to file a case against you

For several weeks now I have been getting calls from this number. I never answer the phone when I don't know the number. I suspect they are looking for someone with the same last name. I don't care. They never leave a message. Big pain.

Today, We receive a phone call from Dyck-O'Neal, Inc. very aggressive, She wants to give all the information, Social security, driver license, and address, I responded that I can not give the information by phone, she insult me and said many bad words.  I have record of all my phone calls, so you can training to your personal in customer service and hire personal with more education

F*** YOU ONEL

They are trying to collect on a second mortgage from us after we foreclosed on the house. My ex filed for bancruptcy leaving me with this lovely debt. So, if you had a second mortgage that's what this is about. I had no idea we would still be responsible for the second. I've been ignoring letters for 3 years. Today was my first phone call. Good luck.

i don't know who this is?

Yes Dyck O'neal reports to a credit bureau - and not paying will hurt your credit rating.  Get a credit report from all 3 sources and check it out.  You get a free one now once a year from all 3 thanks to a government mandate.

Can DYCK O'NEAL put this on your credit statement and affect your FICO?

We short sold a year ago with nothing owed mortgage-wise anymore. At the time, we were told that D-N would come after us for $5000. , 0% and only to pay $50. a month. We paid a few months. They offered a 50% discount 4 months later via phone and mailed letter. I said ok I would have to call them back. I called and emailed and got NO response.

What do I do? We can't afford our FICOs to get any lower. Is it worth paying but what if this is a scam?????

I am grateful to all who have identified this phone number (972-661-3744) as a collections agency.  I am fairly amazed that they managed to get my relatives unlisted # in another state, and calling them to look for me. Now I will need to warn the rest of the family that there's a psycho looking to harass them over something they have nothing to do with.

just called me (well him) I not him.
this dead beat must owe dozens of people I keep getting calls from all over the place for him

This number belongs to DYCK O NEAL they are an unscrupulous collection agency call your US DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND REPOT THEM

Calling often and tying up answering machine...

Also, if they are  not leaving messages, you probably live in a state where it is illegal to leave a message. All they can do is call you until you answer.

They are a collection company. The collect on deficiencies, short sales, charge offs, liens and mortgages. If you have done any of these in the past your lender sold it to them for collections.

Shannon Emery is their in house attorney. They have him call the consumers before they file suit.

Recieved a missed call and looked up the number to find this. Aware of Dick O Neal and who they are. House foreclosed in 2007 and the debt was settled with the lender. Lender sent me tax forms to file for the first 2 years, which I did, which are part of the foreclosure process. Did not see anything for awhile, but get letters probably monthly from this company. I do not believe the debt is valid because it was settled. Reading comments here appears they try to collect on anything they can think of, valid or not.

I do not want anymore calls from this person.  I do not owe you anything other than a hang up on the phone.

I keep getting the same call over and over, but from different number, asking that I press "1" to speak to someone to lower my credit cost. I always pay my credit cards in full monthly, so, never have any interest to pay. Whoever it is, is really, really stupid and should be sent to jail.

Who is dyck oneal and why does he have over $19,000 worth of debt on my credit report? How is this possible? There is no company listed, just dyck oneal inc! Someone help me please! No messages were left. Just name and number on caller id.

Scammers......LOW LIFE BILL COLLECTORS.

I answer and say The is the Urwarton Funeral Home and Restaurant...the hang up.

This number has called and left messages way too many times.  The message says that if I'm not the person they are trying to contact (which I am not), then hang up; which I do.  Then they call back...incessantly.

These folks have been calling my husband & I on our separate cell numbers from an 800 number.  Yesterday, they called from 972-661-3744 regarding the same matter.  They're looking for a person I haven't spoken to in over 20 years.  This person died a couple of years ago, and I keep getting their calls.  I reported the 800 number to the FCC a couple of days ago, and will follow up today to advise them of this latest call.  The FCC complaint page is at:
http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/cmplanding.shtm

They call asking for someone else. The message says if you want to be removed you have to call an 800 number to do so. I actually stayed on the line waiting for someone to pick up. The message says thank you for waiting, we are sorry our office is closed please call an 800 number during normal business hours. Sorry not going to go out of my way. I will find every complaint agency from the phone company to attorney general and the BBB. This is clearly a lazy attempt at skip tracing and is harassment to too many unintended targets. And should be stopped.

My husband and I have been getting calls from these people on our cell phones asking for his sister.  We haven't spoken to her in over 12 years and she certainly does not have our cell numbers.  They keep saying it is for debt collection.  I've asked them to remove our numbers, but don't know if that will work.  My questions is:  How the heck did they get our cell numbers?  The sister in law certianly doesn't have them.  The only common thing is our name and her maiden name.  But when they call looking for her, they ask for her by her married name.

Can this Harassment be stopped..HOW? is it legal?  Who are they? -What happened to me:  first the ph # showed up on caller ID  972-661-3744 the was made to my Mother's ph #, she just got a new land line phone & # two wks ago, we have the same last name, she answered a person asked for Me, she said that she doesn't live here, they said they had a msg for Me, My Mother then asked, what is the msg, "they" said it was a personal matter, then hung up?   I sold my home approx 1 yr ago in 05/2010 as a short sale w/the bal owed forgiven. I no longer have a mortgage.

Call was from Dyck O Neal, who is a debt collection company, but no idea how reputable they are.  They have been sending us letters and calling 2-3 times a day for almost 2 years.  We did actually foreclose on a home that they are supposedly collecting on, but they are trying to collect on a debt that is not valid.  You can't collect on purchase money loans in AZ (even equity lines).  They don't seem to get it.

Seriously, this is a scam. DON"T make any payments.You are getting ripped off!!
