The reports go back to 2012. read CWG40's post.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Joe - Let's just assume that's your name - If you would like to make slander about anyone from the typical New York area, I highly suggest you do some research before dropping specific names. I personally know Darryl - and this office was a joke from the start. Steve Slyh (claimed to be the director of operations) threw his name out there for people to contact; hire people and make offers of employment to certain individuals, to ultimately not even open the office. So - before speaking down upon anyone who actually has a good name for some extremely reputable agencies in the Buffalo area - do some research. It's people like Steve that give honest, hard working people in the collection industry bad names!!!!!
Called from a new number 614-702-2088 same crap blah blah asked for my proof none given and i asked them to call my lawyer. She said it wont help and i will be served. LOL and not to call back or it will be harrasment lame stuff..Dont Pay Them!!!!!
I was called at my place of work and on my personal phone by someone claiming her name was Wendy. The number left on my voice mail was 614-702-2084. She claimed to have a legal case that came across her desk and wanted to call back immediately. She also said she was from the office of Daniel Slane and even gave me a case number.
It's very sad that they call and harass people especially my father. I am a collection officer for a bank. I can tell you that if we harassed or say something out of line and threaten you to takes you to court and get a felony that would be a huge lawsuit. These people are terrible I'm so glad that I'm far from stupid. My father has a lot more to worry about then this. How can they call people without any proof of anything and tell them they that the person owes money to them. You need to get your facts straight before my lawyer is involved. Your can not harass people on their phones and especially on their cell phones. Find a better technique to try to collect Debt. My father doesn't even remember this. I can't wait to be the next person to speak to them! What a joke..... oh BTW Virginia has a statue of limitations of five years.
