Hmmm...according to the BBB this company is no longer in business, LOL....BBB says the phone number is disconnected and mail sent to them is returned undeliverable. I would be careful. Could be a scammer.

I would get a copy of your credit report....see if they have reported anything on it, and see if they have an updated address for this company. If you have paid, and have proof...then send a dispute to the credit bureaus.

Thanks for the info!

That is strange. You may have a point. Asset Acceptence is listed on my credit report as the collection agency. Well, I have sent out dispute letters this afternoon, so I will wait to hear back.
And if someone is trying to scam me, good luck to them because I have no intention of paying them, as the debt is not mine :)

See the only hard part about this is that I dont actually have any proof. My father paid this debt off back in 2000 and he never thought to keep any proof. Good old dad... Too trusting

The original creditor should have proof that the debt was paid in full....the fact that Asset Acceptance shows up on your credit report explains a lot...they are a very well known bad CA...if you look around this forum, you will see that. Make sure anything you send to these guys is sent certified mail return receipt requested, and document everything.

Good points. I have sent off dispute letters today certified return receipt. Now we play the waiting game I guess to see if they respond :)

Has anyone heard of FBCS Federal bond collection service? this is showing up on my credit report under bank of america. When i call Bank of America they show no such debt. Im confused. When i called the company they want my soc. # and i just think its stange that bank of america cant pull anything up but this company can. Any one out there that can help me out on this one?

gabriel, don't give your ssn# without knowing the complete debt details for which FBCS is collecting. It might happen that they have your wrong information. You might have been mistaken while looking for someone else. Send a letter to the company requesting for the details of the account. If they can't give you anything in writing, their entry must be removed from your credit file. Dispute the item with the company and ask for more information. You have your legal rights protected under the FCRA.

I got a call from the agency recently, and my attorney is filing suit today for fdcpa violations, the refused to give me an address, said they were going to get a judge make me pay and there was nothing I could do about it, told me to clean my house and find the letters they had mailed me, then in a few minutes, told me they don't have to send letters, they call. Daily...

I will let you know how this suit goes. By the way, I was a ID Theft victim a year ago, and I will not tolerate this mess. No does my attorney...

I was getting calls from federal bond collection service recently also.They were trying to tell me I had a bad debt with a credit card company and they gave me the card numbers,so I called the credit card company and it so happens I have been with this company since 2002 and the company said there was no such card number in their data base and my acct. was never late or bad.federal bond collection service told me they bought a bad debt from this card co. in 2003.So I filed a report with the attorney generals office for scam&fraud.I do believe these idiots alias is asset acceptance,I will find out when attorney generals office gets back with me.Hopefully charges will be brought against them.

I just received a call from a man only identifying himself as "Federal Bond" and I would not accept his call. I asked if that was his name or the name of his company and he just hung up on me. I just Googled it and found this forum.

I have received several calls from FBCS for a person I don't even know. The are listed on the BBB site under FBCS, Inc out of Phila Pa. I called a John Neary at 1-800-220 2018 x 3020. He stated hat he could not find my number on his computer yet I have gotten 2 calls today from them. he assured me that he would handle it by close of business today. Hopefully this works. Good luck.

Anyone out there know if Central Credit Services of Jacksonville, Fla is a good firm? Do they play by the rules?

I have a credit watch on myself, and I was just notified that FBCS put a collection on me. It is for $215, but I know that I do not owe anyone money. What should I do? I am deployed right now, and it is hard to get anything done! If so many people are claiming they are a scam, why is nothing being done? I am at a loss. How do I go about getting this removed?

Patrick

Hello Patrick, I hope you're well! Since you have access to the Internet, just fill out a dispute online with the Credit Bureau which is showing this debt on your report. :)

Patrick,

Would suggest you go to your CO or the JAG. They should be able to help you out with this. Also, since you are deployed, you are under the Protection of the Ammended Sailor and Soldiers Act. I don't have the link handy but a Google search should pull it up. Hope this helps!

Don't worry about it. Check your credit reports for free for the three services. You can contact your JAG for FREE legal advice assuming you are in the service.

It's important to check your credit reports

I GOT A CALL FROM 866-594-8667 YESTERDAY.
I THINK IS FEDERAL BOND COLLECTION SERVICE BUT I'M NOT SURE.
I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THIS NUMBER AGAIN WHEN I WAS WRITTING THIS POST.
THE CALL WAS RECEIVED NOV.19 AT 12:18 PM.
866-594-8667

I LIVE IN MIAMI AND THESE COLLECTORS ARE CALLING FROM PHILADELPHIA?
I BET THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY THAT DIDNT LIVE HERE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT SOCIAL SECURITY EITHER.
MY HUSBAND ASK ME WHO WAS BECAUSE NOBODY SAY NOTHING AND I TOLD HIM WAS A PRANK CALL.

good for you tania.this is a bottomfeeder and from the looks of it a scam.best not to even talk to them.

I just ran into this company myself.
I haven't called them yet- i am attempting to hire a outside company. Attorney General appears to be the person to contact- disputing information is now fruitless. I had disputed accounts that were not even in my name, they refused to remove it.

Can anyone provide links or something for a more aggressive means of taking care of this? Everyone talks about how you must be nice and cooperative towards these companies- who's goal is to r@pe you in fee's and BS.

FEDERAL BOND COLLECTION IS CALLING MY HOUSE EVERY DAY NOW.

I have received calls starting Nov. 21, 2008 from "Federal Bond Collection Service" from a man with a threatening tone to his voice saying I owed over $1,000 (on a 'default' I think) naming a national bank and WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I asked various questions for details which he didn't answer. I then asked why I hadn't received anything in the mail and told him to have them send me info in writing....HE HUNG UP ON ME. Then, starting Mon, Nov. 24 and continuing today (except for Thanksgiving Day) I have received calls from a woman who gave her 'name' and asked for payment over phone by credit card and amount would be reduced if I paid that day. I got an address and she calls daily re: not getting my check yet! I'm glad I checked this out on GOOGLE. FBCS needs to be shut down!

Guest, don't give them any bank or credit card information. Tell them to give you their bank or credit card information that you need to go on a shopping spree.

fbcs?FEDERAL BOND COLLECTION NEEDS TO BE CLOSED
AND FINED FOREVER.

They are stating that I owe a bill for over 200 for Verizon - from 2001! What about the SOL????? Anybody have good advice please email me.... I do not want to ignore this either.... I have enough on my credit report - and I have been a subject of fraud recently- I'm fed up with jerks - I can't afford this crap....

What state do you live in? When was the last time you paid on the account?

I received a call at 6 AM this morning from them.
How do they get a cell phone number?

Joe Neary Sr. runs the Company in his very Bi-polar, doesn't care what his employee's say or do. I remember about 9 years ago his collection manager was paying people overtime, then extorting it off them to keep their jobs safe. He found out fired him but let his assistant who was the actual money collecter for the former manager, remain and is now on their web site as Vice President...You tell me??? It is a Family business he even hired his son in-law who was a food manager that was fired and made him the new Collection Sr. Manager with no expience in collections at all??? You tell me, I currently work for a REAL collection agency and believe me they are by the book and now I know How many laws they do break and the owner is the main one...

My son just received a call from FBCS asking to speak with
me. He told the person I was not there and was asked if there was another number where I could be reached and my son said no. So this Brent person from FBCS asked that I returned the call at 866-594-8641. Should I call them Back?

I got to John on the phone today. When he realized I was very literate in FDCPA Laws, he got nervous, aggitated and probably pissed his pants. Little sissy.

If you know the collection is not yours I would call them back and have them verify the account information. They called me this morning and did not verify the account info and wanted me to fax my police report. The more I thought about it I wasn't faxing them a police report with my S.S. # so I called them back to verify the info and it wasn't even my S.S. #. They said they would remove my number immediately and guess what happened, they called my wife at home again within 5 minutes.

They are also total pricks, so I would be kind of leary about giving them any personal info. Here is the phone number if you need to contact them 866-594-8638.

Also Patrick, thanks for all your sacrifices and we are all praying for you and appreciate the good work you are doing over there.

Asage, pretty much how they were with me also. I basically called the guy out on being a prick and then the call pretty much ended.

so what happened?
