Corporate Receivables calling me to hell - how can I stop them?

"Mary Jones" Same problems, extremely rude, very unprofessional. Seems very odd to me. Oh yeah they also hung up on ME. Good way to collect money! Very impressive. :roll: They are getting nothing!! This company needs to be taken care of. I feel better that I'm not the only one.

Today I also was blessed with being able to talk to these people. I got a "John Fox" who was very rude to me despite how nice I was being about the situation. I am a collector myself and if I were to treat people this way I would be fired. My company also offers payment plans and will try to help people. "John" told me that he would not offer any payment plans to me, that he needed the amount in full or he would sue me. (which is illegal to say on the phone by the way) He also went on to tell me how irresponsible I am and that I should have paid my bills before paying for my grandfather's hospital bills who has cancer. He said that my family's health is not his problem, and I need to reprioritize. When I asked for the address to send a payment he refused to give one to me. I am trying to pay this thing off in a matter of 2 weeks and he won't give me the address to do it. He told me that is unacceptable. Finally I realized I was getting nowhere with this guy and asked to talk toa supervisor. I was then transferred a "Mr. Brooks" who wasn't much nicer, and later I found out that he gave me a fake address to send my payment to. I am going to talk to my own supervisor tomorrow and find out what to do about the issues I have had with this company.

you said you are trying to pay this of in two weeks. why? are you trying to get a loan or mortgage. do not tell him you reason, if you do they will only try to get the whole balance and will not give you any slack. they probably saw you have good credit and feel that you can pay it of now. i doubt they said they will sue, the probably implied it or said persue instead of sue. how do you know they gave you a fake address? why would they do that if you are gonna send a payment.

I have been receiving calls for collections for a debt that I did not incur, it's my son's debt. I signed my name to help my son obtain credit from Best Buy to spend $450.00. I understood there was a cap amount to the amount on the credit card.

The person, Mary Shaw, seemed pleasant, at first.
Once I said I would not pay this debt, today(which is now over $2000) that I had to verify the information with my son, she became very rude, would not let me make any comments, and said if I was going to act like a criminal, she would treat me like a criminal. She also said this would be sent as an involuntary collection and would affect our credit rating.

Well, I'm sure my blood pressure is very high right now. I don't know if this is a legitimate company or not. I did find them on the internet, but it's a website with a nice looking front. Does anyone know anymore about this company?

Thanks,
NoLaPeanut

:x :!: I just received a call on my cell phone from the following phone number: 1-800-643-2376 and someone left a voicemail, saying they needed to speak to someone (not me)about a very important business matter. I wish these people would stop harassing me at work!!

We received several phone calls from 1-800-643-2376 and when we try to call back we get nowhere. We have no debt. We just bought a new house less then six months ago and I have our credit reports. I don't know what to do to get these people off our back. Has anyone had them calling when they truely don't owe anything?

Thanks to the person that posted the 956 number for Corporate Receivables. With the other number I was never able to get to anyone. I thought these people wanted there money, they should be more responsive to their callers.

thanks,

mitch young has been bothering the hell out of me. if anybody has any information on this guy please post it. he called me, then hung up on me. all i did was ask him how i could pay the money i owe and he was an absolute jackass and hung up on me.

Ok i no longer owe money to them but this isnt right! So Im going to fight them. Ive already reported them to the atorney General but if i get enough complaints to send it then it will be more likely that somthing will happen. i wont rest untill they are closed. Email me your complanints and your contact info and ill add it to the paper work for the Atorney General. Save this Email ASAP! [email]KaleoDM87@yahoo.com[/email] thats my email send me your complants ecspecially if they did somthing that seems ileagle!! Hurry so we can fight them as a group. If the web site delets my email just keep writing your complaints on here in detail so i can send it in!

Send ALL COMPLAINTS TO [email]KaleDM87@yahoo.com[/email] i will report them and send them into the Atorney General!

has anyone ever had their phonecall returned? i have left many messages at the 18006432376 number but nobody calls me back. i have found other numbers but they are long distance. i want to pay all my account but they never answer. maybe i will take a vacation to vegas instead of paying this people.

I have also dealt with corporate recievable inc and they are so rude. When trying to make arrangements this guy laughed and hung up the phone. He has yelled and been down right ridiculously obnoxious.

It seems as if a good majority of us seem to be dealing with the same company, or same person from this company. 3 days ago I found out that an overdue account of mine through bestbuy was overdue a couple of months. Bestbuy informed me that they had just recently sent my account to this agency. I'm trying to get caught up on all of my late bills so bestbuy gave me the 800 number most of you seem to have and I called. I ended up speaking with a man by the name of john(of course he gave me no last name)and I explained to him that I wanted to set up monthly payments to get this debt resolved. Well not only was he rude to me the whole time I was on the phone with him, but he said he did not want to speak with me about this matter that he wanted to speak with my co-signer. The man acted as if I were a criminal! I'm not one who complains a lot, but times are tough right now and are tough for a lot of people, and these people act as if we just don't want to pay our bills. I noticed that someone wrote on here basically saying that all of us complaining about the company just need to pay our bills. Easy for that person to say, they've obviously never hit any lumps or bumps in the road. If any of you people have had any luck in gettin ganywhere with this company please let me know. Thankyou

Seems to me that we're all having the same trouble with this company. Are all of the people rude there and have any of you gotten anywhere with them??? Please let me know. The man I spoke with from the company said his name was john, he didn't give me the last name.

i had a yamaha bike that hsbc wanted to take back but i was able to make a deal with mr young and i was able to keep it. the trick with him is making him think he is smart and the doors will open for you.

I got a call out of the blue this week from (956) 661-2210 who claims they are trying to collect for something I purchased in 2002. The caller was obnoxious to say the least, so I told him not to bother me. Later I called him back and told him that his mother's p*(*y is red and that I F---d her. He exchanged insults with me and I hung up. He called me back again and in a condesending tone said "is everything alright" I reiterated that I F---d his mother. Then he proceeded to tell me that I was a bumb and too low class for his mother and that since I dont have the money to pay my debt, she wouldnt even consider me. Then he said that I should quit my job which isnt paying me enough and that I should go out in front of the supermarket with a guitar to play for tips. That way I can pay off the debt. I got pissed off and told him that he didnt know anything about me, and that he thinks he's big s--t sitting around in the office harrassing people all day. He hung up

Any one with any insight? Got a call from "Bob Jordan" to inform me that unless my payment was received by the 29th of this month, HSBC will be charging off my account? I haven't heard from anyone for over 4 months because I've been paying a monthly fee which was suppose to be "interest free" but isn't? My payment is merely paying the interest on my very large account balance. Credit sucks, can't get a loan to pay the bill. We're being hurt by the housing crisis and our scores dumped 150 points. This bill isn't helping either. What can I expect from a charge off???

I recieved a phone call from today from Corporate Recievables a man named Eric Turner. Said that we had to pay 2,700 in full by today. Other wise my check was gonna be garnished and that if I wanted to set up payment plans or need any other advice that I would have to get an attorney for legal advice. Does anyone know what I should do. Do you think they are serious or do they just harass like that?

Eric Turner is full of crap. They can not garnish your check without full, lengthy court proceedings against you. Him stating that he could is a violation of federal law [fdcpa], and is actionable. That means you can sue them for making that threat. Statutory damages would be $1,00.

Document the threats, etc. Record the calls, if that's legal where you live. And if you need more help, holler.

OMG, it is never ending. Here's the deal. Started Jan/Feb sending payments to CRI of $600 per mth. They tried to get me to "post date checks" which I refused . It wasn't necessary to accept payment. Long story, Bob Jordan told me the payments would be interest free and "get this paid down" Two months into it, I call Bob Jordan to find out why it isn't interest free. He said that HSBC doesn't always accept hardships. Remember, they wanted "post dated checks". Last month, May, I got a "courtesy phone call" from Bob Jordan to inform me that I needed to send my payment on time by the end of the month or my account would be charged off. No problem. Two days later, I got a letter from CRI that said my account was to be charged off on May 20 if I didn't send 2405 that month and every month until the debt was satisfied. The letter was mailed 2 days before the due date, out of phoenix. I called MR. JOrdan and asked him to clarify which was it? Charge off or monthly payments? He said I should just send the money for the month. I tried to get something in writing to which he responded that CRI didn't have to submit anything in writing or email to me about our account; just send the money. The next day, I got another "charge off" notice and then I got the following day, a notice to remind me the monthly payment was due by end of May.
I sent nothing, since they can't decide what is going on and refuse anything in writing. Today, almost a month after Bob called with a "courtesy" call; we got a new guy, Sean Scott, calling about our case. He can't find our "cease and decist letter" and it appears he is the new guy on the case. I just wanted to put it out there. Don't know what they're up to but I filed a complaint with the FTC today. Anyone got anything on how they can send charge off letters and payment due? Let me know.

BTW, are all of these people linked to the same #? When I called today to speak to Bob Jordan to find out who this Sean Scott guy was and why he was calling me; it automatically gave me to Sean Scott and he knew me from my phone number?

Sean Scott likely doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Their software reads your phone number when you call. When it's answered by Sean, Bob, or whoever, the software routes your account details to their screen. These systems can also be configured to route calls according to the inbound number. That's what likely happened to you.

thanks for the update. Found out from HSBC today that not only did they not receive a request for hardship; after it goes to collection, HSBC doesn't get involved in that .. (lie 1 from CRI) AND the letter they sent said our acct. would be charged off in May, not the case (lie 2) HSBC told me today that it would be charged off at the end of this month. I can call next week sometime to try and work something out with HSBC because they recall the account from CRI before they sell it to another company. Just passing the word for anyone who may be in the boat. Any other advice to get HSBC to agree to a "feasible" payment arrangement?

yes i got Justin Rogers another fake name, i asked him if he would like if somone spoke to his mom they he spoke to me. he got so upset he went off on me. he will not listen to reason.

I just wanted to say I too have had issues with this company the gentleman I spoke to was very rude he continued to ask me was I making a payment in FULL today I informed him I could not do that but I would like to pay partial and he DENIED me he was very rude he proceeded to ask me so I guess your making your own contract up as you go aren't ya and he wouldn't let me speak or try and make any arrangments to pay he told me to borrow money from my family and pay in FULL I only owe like 450 dollars but no one in my family can give me that.....long story short I hung up on him then he called me back and the number I called from wasn't even listed on my account!!!!

I had an account with HSBC/Best Buy which defaulted due to non-payment. I've been having financial issues as of late and could no longer afford the payment. I've never been in a situation like this before so I had no idea I would be attacked and degraded on the phone. Apparently, HSBC turned over my account to Corporate Receivables. I received my first phone call from Robert West yesterday. I explained my situation to him and he was quite unreasonable. He said my property will be seized unless I agree to pay the debt immediately. I told him I would see what I could do and get back to him. So, I managed to gather $100 and called back today to let them know that I could make a payment. I also wanted to setup a payment plan of $100/month until the debt was paid off. I asked to speak to someone other than Robert West because I could not handle the insults two days in a row. The person I spoke with was 100 times worse than Robert and refused to accept my payment of $100. He told me that I was lying about not having a job and that I obviously don't understand how credit works. He told me that he was marking my account as refusal to pay and then he hung up on me. I quickly called HSBC/Best Buy to see if I could pay them directly. They informed me that I could and I plan to do so as soon as they send me a bill for the total amount. I have typed a letter to Corporate Receivables stating that I have made arrangements to pay HSBC/Best Buy directly and not to contact me further. If they do, I will pursue legal action. I plan to mail that with request for a return receipt. I am currently unemployed but looking for a job. My biggest fear is that they will contact my employer once I find a job. Legally, I know they are not supposed to do this especially if they have received my letter. I have also filed complaints with the BBC and the FTC. Any suggestions on my situation would be greatly appreciated ?

i had a similar situation and i sent them a letter telling them to quit calling me or anyone else about my debt. the fax number is 602-749-1300. everything else is just talk. they have no legal right to do anything else. after the cease and desist i sent payments directly to hsbc.

I got a call today from hilary jone s, apparently since I just got laid off last week she thinks I need to get a job at Jack n The Box. I already am going to call the Gen. office today because why should I let someone down me, or let them down anyone else.. The BBB is going to get some calls too. This company needs to get shut down. No wonder the economy is crap especially when no one wants to pay some assnine bill collectors with bs attitude.

Screw Bill Collectors. They have no heart nor piece of mind.

just pay you bills and you will never get a call from a collector. if you cant afford it, dont charge it in the first place. be responsible people. PAY YOUR BILLS.

For one thing, there are many times that people COULD afford their payments and then there is some time of catostrophic event -- like someone loosing a job, where it makes is impossible to make certian payments because they are trying to FEED THEIR FAMILY.

That being said. These people are relentless. The are calling our home (which i expect), our cell phones (which we did not give out numbers), my work (which i have told them to stop) and now they are also calling my supervisors office number and leaving lots of messages for me to call. They are being very harrassing. They have been told not to call my place of work or family or friends. They Called on 8-13 and i told them not to call my work. The next day i sent off a certified letter stating that they could not call me at work, call my family or friends. The next day i got a letter from corporate receivable stating that they had my delinquent account from hsbc and in fine print on the back it said that if i told them they could not call my place of work then that was good for 10 days only unless they received a letter stating that fact postmarked no more than 7 days from the date i told them not to call. Well they started calling my supervisor again today only 5 days later. So I had my husband call and again tell them to stop calling me at work. The guy started some mumbo jumbo and my husband said "Look it says on the letter you sent us that you can't call for 10 days, and we mailed a letter to the same effect on 8-14 that you should be getting soon" the guy said that dosen't apply. My husband said "yes it does, i know the law, you can not call if told not to, and it's all in the letter that you sent us so stop calling" He has a contact number for us --- it's my husband's cell phone cause it is easiet for us to control. This guy just says his name is Mr. Peters. And he starts out real nice, but if i say politely that we have gone with a debt consolidation place and he should already have that info then hang up. He calls and calls and calls and calls....................................
We are logging in all times and dates for calls. Because they are harassing with this work phone call things. HsBC was not much easier to deal with. They seemed to not know what was going on. We tried multiple times to work out a deal with them, they just said they would only take a full payment. But when we would call back, then no one had any record of us calling. So the pushed us into this. We tried to pay 1/2 of the full amount to wipe it out. It is pretty embarassing to have him call my work all day long. We are a very busy place and don't have time for this BS. They can call our cell phone and talk to my husband.

I, too, am being harrassed by Corporate Receivables. I continue to make my monthly payments to HSBC, but CR continues to say I am refusing to pay, because I won't get a co-signer for another loan to pay off theirs.

I have asked them not to call my mother's house because she has cancer, and is very ill. Mary at Corp Rec has no heart. She continues to call my mother, and leave messages for me.

I am sending them a certified letter of cease and desist. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Law, they must stop contacting you. If they do not, it is considered harrassment, and they can be sued.

if you need the real names of the collectors at cri.. ask me.. i know them all. i was once an employee

I spend every day wondering if they are going to call and bother my supervisor again today. They have been told twice in 5 days not to call my work. The certified letter should be there soon. I mailed it on 8-14. They seem like they lay off a couple of days, then start blowing up our phones. I am hoping they do not get ahold of my parents number. They have already gotten numbers of ours that they shouldn't have.

This Mr. Peters keeps telling us that they want to work with us, but we have already tried that -- they just want the full amount. I've told them and others before that if i had the full amount to pay then i wouldn't be using a debt settlement company, i would be paying off my debts. Duh!!!!!!! And it's not like i can get a loan -- i now have bad credit. But anyway, they will quit calling (i hope) as soon as my debt settlement co. gets all the info to them. That is what happened with the other credit cards that we placed with them back in December. We have been very happy with them and all their advice. it's just that the HSBC/ coporate rec. inc. people are relentless and they seem to be tryin to press the rules. When we call them on what they are doing wrong/breaking the law they get all defensive and tell us that we are wrong. Heck, the verbal request for a stop call at work being good for 10 days only unless they recieve a certified letter IS ON THE LETTER THEY SENT US. And he still said it didn't apply to us. Are they hoping we are just stupid??? Both times Mr. Peters has been told to stop calling me at work he has told me that it didn't apply to me. He has 1 contact number for me and when he gets us on it, which is rare after we hang up he will call 5-6 more times one right after another. Is this considered harassing????

Yes, that is definitely considered harassment. Employees at Corporate Receivables seem to become angrier when someone can actually call them on their illegal practices.

Mary hung up on me today after I told her I would continue to pay HSBC, and not send her the 5 post dated checks she said she would have to have. She once again told me that I was "refusing to pay", and would recommend formal action be taken against me.

Ive experienced all of the same problems! Ive tried to negotiate on my own terms, but they refuse. It looks like if they wanted the money bad enough they would accept some sort of attempt to pay!! Mr John Fox is who I got stuck with and he didnt know anything about my account. He screamed and yelled and even hung up on me after I threw a couple things he was doing wrong according the the fdcpa. They are a bunch of rip-offs and I refuse to pay them any amount of money. I have filed a complaint through the FTC, however, I expect nothing to be done and the harassment to continue!

I too am experiencing all the same problems as you, she calls me at work and threatens garnishments and refusal to pay since I have advised her I will just continue to pay HSBC... Can anyone tell me if filing a complaint with FTC helps at all?

You'll likely receive a form letter in response to your complaint unless they receive hundreds of complaints for the same company. State AG's have a better track record as well as the BBB and ACA if they are members.

amanda is the so called recruiter who thinks more highly of herself then what she really is poor thing. she will figure it out someday or maybe not.

got a call at my house for my sister inlaw from this place.
only debt she had was student loans and she paid those off 3 years ago.
this cri called and was rude.
arron bell was his name.
dude was a total jerk off.
i hope he calls back

what are their names? Just got scamed by the belligerent worthless a**holes. please post names. I am sure ALL would be gratefully appreciated by everyone dealing with Corporate Receivables.

To Miss Missy, REAL NAMES would be greatly appreciated, I am sure by ALL OF US who have dealt with these billegerent worthless a**holes. I, too, just had a very bad run in with them and they are trying to take money out of my account as we speak. Which there is no money in there, moved it to another bank. Much Appreciated for the real names. :shock:

I too have had recent problems with a "Mitch Young". I had a previous agreement with a woman named Elva there but it turns out she's no longer working there. He's handling it now and instead of extending the agreement to pay in monthly installments, Mitch wanted it all up front. When I told him I didn't have that kind of money he said I HAD to pay him at least 300 (I only had 6 bucks in my account at the time). I told him I'd have to call him back when I figured something out. I called him back about a week later when I actually got some money but it wasn't the 300 he was initially asking for. I wanted to give him the 125 that I was paying in the monthly installments. He yelled at me the whole time stating that I was too late and that he was only willing to take the full payment of $1,027.00. I told him I didn't have that and he proceeded to tell me that he was already in the process of filing "Legal Paperwork" against me and then hung up immediatly afterwards. I'm 2 and a half months pregnant and I was shaking when I got off the phone with him. My mother who is also my co-signer heard how upset I was and called to deal with him herself. He started yelling at her right off the bat but my mother isn't pregnant and she wasn't about to take it. As soon as she started defending herself by yelling back he'd hang up on her. She called him back 4 times and during those 4 phone calls he called me a liar saying that he WAS willing to work with me and I refused (which NEVER happened). He also said that he was going to be taking legal action against both of us because it was "obvious" that we didn't care about our credit. After 4 times of hanging up on my mother and refusing to let her talk to his supervisor he turned his machine on and ignored her calls. The following day, she called him asking to talk to his boss again and he repeated No and hung up on her. I called them for a couple of hours trying to reach a manager. I finally got a hold of a man named Kyle (I didn't catch his last name). I explained to him the whole story and how Mitch had treated me and my mother and that I had already reported him and his company to the BBB. He told me that none of what I was saying was that truth and that Mitch never threatened Legal Action (which he had done to me and my mother). He pretty much told me I was just making accusations and that he woudln't listen to them. All he wanted was my payment. I made him aware that there were laws that protected consumers against abuse like that and he didn't seem to care. I informed him that his business had a terrible rating at the BBB and there here DOZENS of people out there who have had the same experience as me. All he could keep saying is that he was going to end the phone call if I didn't stick to the payments because all my complaints were, were accusation. I knew I wasn't going to get any help from him so I told him I'd be reporting his company to the FTC and the Attourny General as soon as I had the chance. Again he didn't seem to care so, frustrated, I just hung up on him. I honestly cant believe why this company is still allowed to opperate. They're obviously breaking the law and are getting away with it.

I dealt with a guy named Jeremy Peters. Same stuff as everyone else has posted. I think the post at the top offers some good advice about what to ask for.
