Recieved a call on my cell phone, when I answered it began to ring in the ear piece. Caller stated he was from Brad Street and Assoc. and they were trying to collect a debt. Problem is this debt had been disputed and removed from credit report years ago and he was now saying they were going to take legal action. I told him to go ahead and try. Hope that was not a mistake, but we just have to wait and see.
Received a missed call from a misc. phone number 952-715-6819. I called back and talked to a very RUDE and disrespectful man, by the name of "Mr. Behringer." Right away he said that I had an outstanding debt in the amount of $615.13 from US Bank that was not settled and had been bought by the Debt Collection Agency called "Bradstreet Associates." I told him that a similar account from US Bank had been settled back in 2005-2006 and closed. He kept cutting me off as I tried to explain the situation to him and stated that he was not interested in my story, only interested in if I was going to pay the $615.13 today!
Sounded like a scam and a pretty stupid guy to be calling random people about debt that's already been taken care of years ago. He was very unprofessional. I asked him for his name, firm, call back number, and the account number, in which he spoke too fast. I asked him to slow down and he reacted with a snobby expression of, "If you weren't ready with pen and paper, then why would you ask me? I just told you what it is." What a psycho idiot!
Advice? Call the police and report this maniac man.
Same thing, same scam, same name, same man,same words. Different Phone Number. 1-952-378-1565
this guy told me to, " click your heels" and hope this goes away. I want money from these people and US bank.!
I got a call from Justin - he has begun to threaten to call my family and report this debt to them stating that he is going to be taking me to court to get a judgment if I don't call him. He told me to post date a check if I didn't have the funds - which I told him was illegal... he stated that I didn't know anything about law and that he has been doing this for years. I told him that I was unaware of this debt, but that he could send me paperwork so that I could review it - I have still received nothing. He claims this is a debt from US Bank??
I can find no evidence that Brad Street & Associates is a company online. I suggest you all do the following:
1. Contact the Federal Trade Commission and file an online complaint.
2. File a complaint with the Attorney General of MN.
3. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
