What consumers say about First National Collection Bureau

My wife was being hassled by these people. They've been calling non-stop for about 3 months now. Under a google search for the phone number they've called from (for us it was 775-322-0444) we got SEVERAL hits on people complaining about being harassed by these people. I tried to do a little digging on their company and here's some information I found. I hope it's useful:

Some sites list their company information as:
First National Collection Bureau
Phone: 800-824-6191
Fax:

610 Waltham Way
Sparks, Nevada, 89434
U.S.A.

I found another site which has their profile differently. The site was:

Being the person I am I decided I would like to talk to the source of our frustration. I'm still searching for Mr. Imburgia. He apparently is under an un-listed home phone (was going to leave his number on all the message boards complaining about this company). I did find about 10 different addresses for him in Reno, NV. So he either manages properties on the side, has moved around a whole bunch, or is also into real estate. Hope this helps, if not sorry for the long post.

P.S. I called the number they called us from and informed them that the person they were looking for was no longer at that number. They removed it from their list.

They should not be calling you at work. That violates the laws surrounding collection. You should immediately report them to your state attorney generals office, the bbb, file a complaint with the fcra site and who ever else governs these laws.

Hope you can get some relief from these jerks, sounds like you need a break here.

Fiimeo, Please don't hold your breathe cause the phone will more than likely ring again. I tried to tell several collector s who was calling for a couple whom previously had my new number. I explained the whole situation in detail informing them that this was now my telephone number. They promised not to call back and to remove the number from their directory but low and behold a few weeks (if I was lucky) a different rep. from the same company would call. Finally I got fed up and threatened to report them. I Got some response from that and a couple actually did quit calling. They got the last laugh though cause they sold the debt and a new compnay started the same routine. I now don't pick up the calls and re fell in love with my caller ID.

Thanks for the good word good-natured, I'll file with the BBB, and the Attorney General's office Smile

Do it asap. The more places like BBB and atty. general hear of this stuff the less likely they will be to bother you.

I did early it early this morning- I reported them Attorney General, BBB, and Rip-Off.Net. This company is all over rip-off.net with a bad rep!

good move, now these places will be contacting them like they have contacted you, you will probably quit hearing from them but they may sell it off to another company and the process will start all over again with the new company. If it does just go a head and file the complaints on them too.

Good job. I have never heard of ripoff.net I will have to go see this for myself. Alot of people will make these sites to help other people out. Just like the one they have for private and annoy. callers. Anywho.com.

never heard of that one before, usually they will use a series of numbers and keep calling you from a dialer, that is very annoying to me, I usually just ignore it and hope that it will stop eventually.

That is what I do. You are right they will call from a series of numbers. The only time I actually check is if they call nonstop. It usually is the same collectors. Morningstar directed me to that web site.

Just heard them again, now they call everyday at work. I have caller ID and voice mail, when I know it's them, I just hang it up.
