Well, it appears Julianne has struck again. Received a letter at my work address from NRS-Collection (the letter said that attempts to contact me had been unsuccessful--I have lived at the same address for nearly 40 years and have had the same telephone number for that same length of time). The address on the letter is 11056 Renaissance Drive, Davidson, NC 28036, telephone number 980-621-2746. The letter stated that I owed $289.99 (hand written in ink on the letter) as a "cancellation fee" on a contract I had with P.M. Service Company. If I didn't pay I would owe an additional fee of $300 "plus additional costs" and it would also "go to court at the end of June". I received the letter on the day that the money was due (it was sent 3 days prior to the due date which I have found out is her usual MO). Have never heard of this company and have never done business with a company by this name. The letter was very sloppily done, poor format and grammer, very unprofessional. No letterhead. Down at the bottom hand written in Magic Marker was ASAP (I guess meaning she wanted the money now). No professional company would do something like that. Needless to say, I did not pay the requested amount of money and have filed reports with our local police, Caberra County Sheriff's Department, the North Carolina Attorney General's Office and our State's Attorney General's Office and the US Postal Inspector (mail fraud has been committed). I have put fraud alerts on my accounts and also a block on my checking account for this company and also NCRS Debt Collect (another name she uses), as I understand she has been able to access people's accounts and withdraw money. I called the number listed on the letter June 23, got a message and left a voicemail. She returned the call this morning (June 29, which I missed). I could barely understand her message but was able to determine her name to be Julianne and that she was calling from "NRS". She spoke very rapidly and also did not leave a number where to contact her but on my caller ID the number listed was 704-706-8364. I returned her call and again was sent to voicemail. The message did not mention a companhy name. It sounded more like a personal phone and not a business. I have a reverse directory search in progress on the telephone number. I am oddly relieved to know that this is a scam but heartbroken that she has taken so many people.
Just received the same letter.I had a feeling it was a scam.The letter was very vague and abustive.Have talked to the Postmaster,hope they can stop these people.
Received my letter yesteday, but with a bit of a twist. It was addressed to my mother who had been dead almost 18 months. The letter was sent from "NRS-Services", 11056 Renaissance Drive, Suite #220, Davidson, NC 28036, Ph 704-464-6398 - collection managers - Bethany or Lewis. Called and left message and was called at 6:45 the following morning by "Daphne". Letter looked very unprofessional, threatening, etc. Did an internet search on P.M. Service Company (the company NRS stated they were representing) and NRS Services - no results on either company. Just for everyone's FYI - according to U.S. law (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) - debt collectors cannot use false representation, use threatening language, use any fictious business name (like the company that they are supposedly representing), must provide a MINIMUM of 30 days for a response to the initial collection letter, etc. Your state would also have statues and laws governing debt collectors. I have already contacted USPS to report mail fraud, but will probably also contact the US attorney general, NC attorney general, and AZ attorney general. Let's get these people stopped!
I received my letter July 24 with the same information saying I owed 189.99 by August 1. As I read other peoples' accounts, the details in the letter is exactly the same. I called and left a message 3 times and Bethany just called me back today, August 21! I asked a bunch of questions that Bethany had a hard time answering. She got very frustrated and told me that she was going to let my file pass through and I should pay my debt and then hung up on me. I am extremely frustrated and upset by these people. I want to know what I can do to stop this and get even. Any suggestions to me?
