You should have told her the company has only opened since February 2012 so how could she had been with the company 25 years. This company is also known as Dorsey Thornton Associates, look up and call their number and ask them if they changed their name because you had a debt with Dorsey Thornton you are trying to payoff and then they will flip the switch and find it, then hang up and your point will have been proven. ScumBags
I found this on Dorsey Thornton the old name, you are right, I called them goons and told them about my loan being with Dorsey Thornton and wanted to pay it and the lady said you are right, we changed our name because of the lies on the internet, I then hung up on her. The truth is they changed their name because they were hit with this hefty lawsuit from Georgia Consumer Affairs. Let them know they are up to there old tricks again.
Debt Collector Dorsey Thornton & Associates Enters into $15.5 Million Settlement with the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection
February 29, 2012
ATLANTA, GA – Dorsey Thornton & Associates, LLC, a Georgia debt collections company, and its principal officers Wyteria Dorsey and Michael Thornton, have entered into an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance with the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection (OCP), resolving charges that the company committed multiple violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act. OCP’s investigation stemmed from a series of reports from consumers that Dorsey Thornton & Associates harassed and deceived consumers by:
•Threatening consumers with arrest or imprisonment if they did not pay the debt;
•Refusing to send consumers written proof of the debt owed;
•Identifying themselves as “Investigators” rather than disclosing that they were debt collectors attempting to collect a debt;
•Contacting third parties and divulging information about the debtor’s account;
•Calling consumers before 8:00am or after 9:00pm
•Continuing to contact consumers even after they told the company to stop calling them;
Under the Assurance, Dorsey Thornton & Associates has agreed to forego collection of 31,433 accounts, representing a total of $15,491,899.36 in consumer debt. The Assurance also requires the company to pay a civil penalty and to reimburse OCP for investigative and legal expenses.
“Debt collectors who engage in this kind of harassment, deception and other illegal behavior in the state of Georgia must and will pay a steep price,” said John Sours, Administrator of the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection.

By the way when some of you all are asked to do a conference call, to verify that the ach transaction declined you hang up! You guys took the loans out just pay your bills and you wont have to worry about recieving calls from strangers telling you to pay the money back. You all are suppose to be law abiding citizens but are stealing thousands and maybe millions of money from companies who have felt you low lives would pay them back, personally if it were my money I would show up to your door.
