| I always tell people to not set up a repayment plan using your checking account. If they have to do it this way you can set up one just for them. Did they take more than they were suppose to or agreed to? If so you may be able to dile a complaint with your bank and they could help you get your money back. In the meantime are you sure they will not do this again? you need to go to your bank and either close that account or set up something to keep them from withdrawing future money put into that account. |

| I have went to my bank and closed the account. They have taken out of my account 3 times with huge amounts each time. I didn't have the money in the account to pay for them, so they were returned back to them. I was just left with overdraft charges, which the bank refunded. I had to get the bank mail a letter explaining the fraud to Certegy checks to get all the "returned checks" cleared off my name. These people need to be stopped before they truely ruin someone's life!! |

| Rebecca, I am glad you got this all taken care of and your bank was so helpful. This is how companies like this work. Just chalk this up as a lesson and NEVER give your account number to anyone..especially a collector. The only automatic drafts I allow on my checking is for my bank payments and car insurance. Now make sure you a careful to watch your new account. I have also heard of them getting a hold of peoples account numbers without them handing the collectors the information. I am not sayting this will happen just be sure to monitor your new account. |

| I've dealt with this 'Law Office' before, with a debt they SAY I owed. Kept sending me letters and calling often. They DID ask if I wanted to "make arrangments over the phone." I said no....that I needed them to Validate my debt to them. They weren't going to do that. Just kept repeating "we'll debt your account for the payments." I KNEW not to give them my bank account info.........I sure learned THAT from THIS site. |

This is basically a bit of ghost operation within another major collection corporation... If you have ANY contact information on them, get it to me, and I will be happy to get you the EXACT office responsible for taking your money...

| Is there a way at this point to get the money back? I would think that a legal route should be able to be pursued in this matter somehow. I heard of this happening to someone I know and the bank actually got involved and had the money returned. Hopefully the poster will stop back and get the information to you so she or he can get something done about it. |

| I imagine if you are going to be in the business there is a lot of learning to do. There are massive debt collectors and if they are trying to collect on a debt then repair people probaly woul,d have alot of day to day dealings with these people...not a job I would want or envy after talking to a few myself. Guess you have to know how to handle them. |

| I am having a similar problem with this company. I googled the number I have for them and there are complaints left and right. Under the Fair credit law, I have an attorney and I'm going to sue them. Don't let this company scare you or rip you off. If enough people complain maybe they'll go away! |

| It is very difficult to get the money back once they have debited the amount from your checking account. Most of these companies call you over phone and take your routing number and bank account number along with your confirmation and they get payment from your bank based on such confirmation. So it is always advisable not to provide any company with your bank account details and confirmation over phone unless you are sure you wish to make the payment |

Most collectors will not give your money back after they have recieved it, they are pretty adiment about thinking it is theirs at that point.
Can you contact your bank, if it has been 10 days or less you may be able to get your bank to retrieve it for you. |

That is what I was going to suggest. In a way these banks make me angry. With all their computerized equipment companies sould not be able to continually dip into an account. Also the ones who do it without your consent,as you say you have had done goodnatured. I wonder why the bank was not suspicious when all those amounts left the posters account.
Sometimes all you have left to do is cloose the account and this really syinks when the account is of a good age. I know even with my internet I had to make sure they quit debiting when I left them. If not I would have had to pay the bank a fee to get them to stop. I am sure they probaly only had to press and then colect my $29. I think that is also a crock. |
