Subject: Contact details of CCS (Credit Collection Services)
 
Posted on Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:19 pm  

I had a $92 collection for Progressive Insurance that I paid back in April (before I knew about PFD's). There was a mixup because my father and I have the same name and I didn't realized there was a balance due on a policy I had 4 years ago - I swear! Anyway...I paid it and now i'd love to take a chance by writing a GW letter to the CA, CCS aka Credit Collection Services to get it off my report completely.

Should I also contact Progressive, as they are the OC, and assisted me in researching this matter? Or should I contact an executive with CCS (contact name/e-mail would be great!)?

Any wise word of wisdom, or your own experience with CCS, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For such a small amount probably contacting them directly would be the best move. I would do it as soon as possible before the fees start adding up. goodluck

Contac the credit bureau first. Send in your receipt or documents showing the balance was paid.

Contact Progressive to make sure they have credited the payment in April. Ask progressive to remove it.

Send all documents certified sign receipt as proof.

Hi Robert,

Try following the voice word by word. I would rather directly get in touch with the organization.

Subject: Farmers signed me up for insurance when I said no.
 
Posted on Fri Dec 28, 2007 12:31 pm  

I got a quote from Farmers at their office, but when they said I had to change the insurance on my residence to get it at that price. I told them to forget it. This was way back in March, well they are now billing me through CCS Needham. I can't believe it. Of course I have and have had insurance with another company the whole time.

Hi Al Phelps,

This is fraudulence taking place. If you do not have any insurance filed with the Farmers they cannot be charging you for a single penny. First thing to do is send a validation letter to CCS. I am sure they cannot prove anything. However in case of any problem you can file a complaint with the FTC and the BBB.

Sometimes we get so frustrated that we sue these people ourselves. You can always find one attorney at naca.net if you dont have one already.

Subject: Bogus Sunday phone calls.
 
Posted on Sun Dec 30, 2007 10:33 pm  

The scum at CCS called my cell phone, which is on the National DO NOT CALL LIST, twice on a SUNDAY and interrupted a very important moment for my family. After searching for the company on the internet I found that I am not the only person they have bothered. So, I filed a ripoff report on them; and, since they called twice within 10 minutes time, I also filed two complaints with the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST. I guess it's only typical of scum at a collection agency to harass people anytime or any day of the week. If only there was a way to give them a taste of their own medicine and sue the pigs. Unfortunately I guess I will just have to hope they get fined.

Hi David,

I really understand your problem and how you feel. Many here have faced the same. This is just a request that please do not use profane language because this is a public forum. Many participants might feel uncomfortable. Thanks.

Subject: Profane language?
 
Posted on Mon Dec 31, 2007 12:15 pm  

Exactly what words would you consider profane in my comment of yesterday? Just to let everyone know, the scum at CCS called me one more time last night after I had spoken to a rude woman who assured me that my phone number was taken off their list since I was not the person they were trying to locate. So, there you are. Not only are the employees of CCS scum, they are also liars.

Subject: Your definition of profanity.
 
Posted on Mon Dec 31, 2007 2:14 pm  

I have to say I am still confused by your response to my first posting. You asked me not to use profane language. I am baffled. If you are referring to my referring to CCS employees as scum, the Merriam-Webster definition of scum in that context, is as follows: "a low, vile, or worthless person or group of people". Now everyone knows that anyone associated with the collection industry fits into that category. Everyone also knows that collection industry scum have their own low standards when it comes to moral principles. Perhaps they also have their own dictionary? Enlighten me.
