I called the 716-616-9585 because they have been calling my house phone with very threatening and disturbing messages. The message that was left for me was automated and said I needed to call Christine back at 716-616-9585 ext 206. I called back and received a very rude lady that said she belongs to a PCS & Associates. She said they are a practicing group of attorney's that are debt collectors who process through litigation and fraud. Well, with in 15 minutes of that call I received a text message from 716-602-6388 with extreme profanity. When I call the number of course no one answers. The receptionist on the phone I spoke with refused to give me a New York bar number, something every practicing attorney must have! She was also very rude and would not let me speak after that. I have no pay day loans or existing ones ever. I work and pay my bills and watch my credit closely.
Be aware of the following and ask the proper questions:
*is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
*refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
*asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
*exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
Even if you had an existing pay day loan, it is against the law to call and threaten anyone with criminal charges for a civil matter that can only be settled by being sued.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
SO TO YOU PCS & ASSOCIATES - GET A REAL JOB. STOP TRYING TO STEAL FROM HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN, RESPONSIBILITY AND A CONSCIOUS. YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF SCUM AND TRASH AND SHOULD BE PROSECUTED WITH THE REAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. KARMA IS NEVER KIND AND SHE WILL BE VENGEFUL.
