Debt Recovery Solutions Reviews

I'm just wondering if any of you have come at them with the statute of limitations for your state. The last time they called me (5-19-2015), not only did I inform them that since they had yet to provide any tangible and legal proof that the debt was even mine I would now be contacting my local AG, FTC, FCC, BBB, and CFPB, but also that the statute of limitations had run out on "my" debt, they could no longer threaten me with legal action, they can't sue me, and any future phone calls will be recorded for police action. Well, as we've all learned, they hung up on me, but not before calling me a choice word. I had to laugh at that actually. Apparently it is very difficult for them to swallow the medicine they so love doling out...

This company is a nightmare. Their employees are extremely obnoxious and down right rude. I have never been more unmotivated to pay a debt. They dropped my credit score 50 points as soon as I acknowledged who I was for a $200 medical bill that was 9 years old. I worked in collections for years and know for sure that their methods and inconsistencies with peoples' credit are in no way conducive.

Received mail that I owed over $7000.00 for a Citibank credit card. I have never had a Citibank credit card. At police station filing a police report. Letter states willing to settle for $2,000.00 settlement. That's a big difference if this money is really owed. They asked for my social security number (last 4 digits). I did not verify the numbers. Then they said "never mind, we will close account." We shall wait and see!!!

Pulled up my credit profile and an account in collections from Debt Recovery Solutions with original creditor California Check Cashing for $191. Never dealt with this creditor before since I have had my own bank account. My credit score went down 51 points because of this. It's not right!

I found out that Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC was on my credit. I called them and made arrangements to pay them in installments. I completed the installments three weeks ago 1/17/2015. I have been asking for a satisfaction of settlement letter for over a week now. Mr. **, was nice but not effective. Ms. **, is the rudest and most unprofessional person I have ever spoken with in my life. They have been coming up with excuse after excuse to why I haven't received a satisfaction letter after calling everyday kindly asking for it to be emailed to me. Yesterday, I asked to speak with a supervisor and got stonewalled yet again by being told that the supervisor will call me back. I never received that call. This is truly disheartening to know that employees are representing a business in this manner.

My experience is the same as everyone. How many of you on here use freescore.com? Just out of curiosity. Trying to track down where they are getting our information. They have my full ssn# and have filed on my credit score. I am going to fight these bottom feeders till the end.

For the second time I have received a letter from this company claiming I owe a sizable amount of money to a bank where I have never held any accounts. Both times I have called and they have asked if the last 4 digits of my SSN were ** and I in both phone calls it took me saying "NO" 3 or 4 times before the rep would say "Oh, then this must not be you. I'll make a note of it in the system." Ridiculous.

For the past 3 years I have been receiving calls from Debt Recovery Solutions saying that I owe $473 to Verizon. I was told that I could do a pay out which was offered to me for $69. I paid it about 2 years ago. For some reason I am still receiving calls with people telling me that I owe the amount of $473.00 and it is still showing in Credit Karma. Whom do I contact to get this problem fixed. I am trying to purchase a town home, so these bogus charges need to be removed A.S.A.P.

These sons of ** ** up my credit score by 86 points over 60 dollars that I don't owe to anyone. I am going to ** them in the **.. Going to see a lawyer after I deal with the ** forms that I need to fill out with Experian.

I received a call from a woman named Nesha on 5/22/2014 stating that I had an outstanding debt for almost $300 from Verizon. She had my name and provided me with the last 4 digits of my SS and a # from this supposedly acct that was Verizon and it was opened in 2004. I told her that I never had an acct from Verizon and that she had to be mistaken. She stated that the acct was sent to her office and want to see how can I satisfy this debt and she was willing to make a payment plan with me. I clearly stated that I don't have no money to pay for something that I had no knowledge of and she said she understood. I told her that if I had an outstanding debt from Verizon since 2004 why didn't Verizon contact me personally to recover the monies. She stated that Verizon wasn't going reach out to me no longer in which Verizon never did and that they hold onto acct.

I've been receiving vague & threatening calls about being involved in "fraud," which is totally absurd. I have reported the calls to the new Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I encourage everyone who has had horrible experiences with them (seem to be par for the course!) to do the same. Believe it or not, federal agencies such as the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is cracking down on these unscrupulous scavengers.

This company has been contacting me about debt that is not under my name for years... I'm not even sure how many years. My credit score is 768, but they're saying I owe thousands of dollars to companies I've never had a line of credit with. I'm not even sure how one can spend almost 2k at Radio Shack. Both companies tell me that they cannot find any record of these debts. I've asked DRS to provide some sort of documentation (aside from the letters they send me just telling me I owe debt) that shows where the debt originated (state, town) or what was purchased and they have never been able to do this. Literally, I can get no other information beyond the name of their company, a dollar amount, the company I originally owed the debt to, and the year it supposedly originated. Both of the aforementioned debts supposedly originated in the late '90s.

I was contacted by an associate by the name of William ** who said he was the 3rd party trying to collect a debt from a 2nd party. After he didn't verify my correct name he continued to say that a credit card with my last 4 SSN digits was OUTSTANDING @ $6,202.89. I was absolutely certain I didn't have that kind of debt on a credit card. He resumed to tell me it was a MASTERCARD. I've NEVER owned a Mastercard. He said the credit card was opened in 1994-1995. I told him I wasn't even 18 years old at the time. He then asked me my name (DO NOT EVER GIVE THEM YOUR NAME). I asked him to read me the FULL SSN on the account he was trying to verify and he said he couldn't give out that information, which I then told him I will NOT give you ANY information and I will call your customer service number, which he gave me @ 877-858-4392 (useless to call)... All in all...NEVER EVER GIVE THIS COMPANY ANY INFORMATION.

Received a debt collection letter from Debt Recovery Solutions today for a debt I don't owe. An old cell phone bill for US Cellular. Found it interesting that they state that the debt has already been reported to all national credit reporting agencies. Without my even being able to dispute the debt. What fools, they don't know that I know my consumer rights very well and will rake them over the coals. They messed with the wrong gal.

Called me to say that I had a debt from AT&T for over $400 and how I would like to handle it. I informed them that I closed my account with AT&T over a decade ago, paid my account at that time. This debt is not on, and has never been on, my credit report. They then asked about breaking a contract and maybe this has gone unreported by AT&T until now. I told them that I am not going to pay them anything. He then said that he will have to tell "AT&T" about my intentions and that with interest the debt is already "like $800". Last time I checked, debt collectors buy debt from a company. AT&T no longer cares if I pay that debt. Everything they said sounded like lies.

Received mail from this company wanting to collect my boyfriend's past debt of a little over $500. Paid them by check through the mail several months after receiving the letter. Two months later, we received another letter stating we owe $6.62. My first thought was that it was interest accrued in between receiving the letter and us actually paying the previous balance. When my boyfriend called them to pay it (10/4/13), an automatic system asked him to input his account number, and was promptly hung up on after he did so. This happened 3 separate times. I called about an hour later and was on hold for 20 minutes. Finally got someone today (10/7/13) and I asked why we owe this $6.62. The man insisted we didn't pay the full balance, and I argued that. I was put on hold and then told that they apologize, and my account will be closed. All I can think is that they were trying to scam me.

I have went through everything trying to get my credit back on track.. I paid people, got a few credit cards, paid things off.. My credit was moving at a great speed.. I was able to get it from about 519 to 669 in about 4-6 months.. I was using credit karma to monitor my credit.. When I notice this over 1000 dollar new neg thing on my credit.. I don't even know who they are or how they come up with this false info. I will be doing what I can to fight this.. But from the looks of the other comments.. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

This company calls quite often, sometimes leaving messages and sometimes not. I've answered the phone a couple times and only once was there actually a person there. It may be for a legitimate debt, or it may not, but I don't want to give any information over the phone and I have never received anything in writing.

I have a very common name so I have difficulty trying to conduct business with several agencies due to mistaken identity. I have even had issues trying to renew my driver's license and getting past security at the airport. When I received a notice in the mail from DRS regarding a delinquent Sprint account (I have never used Sprint a day in my life, btw), I figured it was another case of mistaken identity. Unfortunately, the coincidence was too close to home as the account was opened with an address in my hometown. I spoke with DRS and explained to them it had to be a case of identity theft. They asked me to get a police report documenting the identity theft to get everything squared away.

Debt Solutions bought a debt from T Mobility, same name as mine and different social security numbers. They put the debt on MY social number. When I called, they asked what my social was and I gave it to them. They say I do not owe them money but when they call up my name, I do. I went to T Mobility and I do not owe them money; Debt Solutions admits I do not owe them money but they will not remove it from my credit report so it looks like I have a delinquent debt. Apparently, they can just add debt to any person you want. They have knocked my credit by 100 points.

I keep getting collection letters from Debt Recovery Services, LLC. I must have made the mistake of sending them money in the past before I researched the company or the debt. Now I get debts we do not owe popping up on a regular basis every year or so. I think most people will just pay them and go on. This must be how they target people. I know I have paid every debt to every book or record club we owed. So why are these debts popping back up? The answer is they are sold like stocks on Wall Street. The people who buy them don't care if you have already paid them. They have purchased the debt and want something in return. Tough luck, though. Once a debt is paid, it is over with and the recovery companies need to be shut down.

I received a collection letter stating I owed a particular music service $35.73 the other day. I called to question it and was told it was from 2006. Funny thing though, as I had never done business with the service mentioned. I asked, "Why contact me now after approx 7 years?" They had no answer and I asked them why they are trying to scam people. They denied this and little did they know I was already in contact with the NY Attorney General and US Postal Inspector's office so when they were informed of this, the woman got angry and hung up!

I received a collections letter from Debt Recovery Solutions today. Immediately, I knew it was bogus as it displayed my just moved to address with an unpaid balance of $35.73 for BMG Music service, a firm I never conducted business with. Too late to call them tonight and call out the scam they are attempting to perpetrate but will do so tomorrow. I will also notify my Congressman of this illegal operation as it is felony to use the mail in any mail fraud scam which falls under the Congressman's jurisdiction. Anyone else should also do the same to put some heat on this boiler room operation.

My husband received notice of an unpaid bill from a Sprint account of at least 5 years ago. I noticed immediately the letterhead, etc. appeared bogus. We called Sprint and verified twice that no outstanding bills in his name exist with Sprint. Thanks to the information on this page, we called the State Attorney General's office and will be filing a claim against Debt Solutions Recovery. Next step is to check the credit report for part of that filing. I want to thank you all for letting everyone know not to contact this company and give any information.

While trying to relax on a well-deserved vacation, I just received a phone call from this company asking for a Ronald or a Dana, names by which I absolutely know nothing about. I told the woman that she had the wrong number and hung up. After which, she called me back to ask me again and then hung up on me after I said "No, I just told (click)." I understand the need to track down people who owe a debt, but I can also understand why this company has such abysmal reviews (and I have the right company. I simply called the incoming number on my cell phone's history).

This company absolutely is fraudulent in their debt collection practices. They have checked my credit and have continuously harassed me for months by phone regarding a Verizon debt that I do not owe. I have asked for written verification of the debt. Nothing. As of today, I spoke with a supervisor who stated they sent a verification of debt letter in August 2012 and it was returned by the post office as undeliverable. This is a lie. I have received mail at the address verified for over 20 years! How is it that just now, the post office decides that they can't reach me there? I get all the rest of my mail there? My conclusion, based on all the previous statements and my own experience, is that they are liars! They will use any and all tactics to verify your identity and harass you until you pay.

Debt Recovery - Unpaid Bill: I have been dealing with DRS for 3 years now. I owed Tmobile $132.19. I paid the settled amount of $79.32, which the bill stated. I paid the amount because these people were relentless, which was fine. I did owe it. I did ask for a receipt, which I never received. Time went on, I called several times and asked for a receipt. The people who answered were very rude and said a letter was sent out. I thought it was all done until another company called me regarding the same bill. I told the new collection agency that it was paid a long time ago and I would get a receipt for the bill. So, I called DRS regarding my receipt. They stated it was paid and we will send you a receipt by Ms. ** on 8/4. She was very rude, hung up on me and was very, very defensive. I stated I just wanted a receipt, which never came. 8/25 Mrs. ** answered this time. Again, she was extremely rude. I gave her my email, a fax number, and an address. You would think I would get one of them. No receipt.

I was contacted on 11/13/12 by Debt Recovery Solutions. They claimed that I owed $426.77 on a Verizon wireless account from 2002! I explained to them that I have never owned a Verizon account of any kind. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was hung up on. When I called back and demanded them to a produce a contract/bill, etc., they hung up on me again. I then called Verizon upper management who verified that I had never been a customer; therefore, I did not have a balance. I then contacted the three credit reporting agencies and found out that this company has listed me as collection status on my TransUnion report. Also on my Experian report, I had a company that had made multiple inquires by the name of NexisLexis. It turns out they are somewhat affiliated with Debt Recovery Solution. The owner/COO's of Debt Recovery are Elliot and Donald Schwartz. I then contacted CSC, BBB, FTC, ACA, and the Attorney Generals of NYC and MO. I filed a police report and have gotten advice from an attorney friend of mine. I want something to be done about this horribly unscrupulous, dishonest company.

I have a typical story - first-time home buyer and aware my credit isn't perfect from the get-go. However, a nagging little file kept popping up from Sprint for $98. My mortgage broker asked if I would research this and get back to him. A credit agent called me, and we three-wayed Sprint. I gave them my social upfront, because I had not recalled having Sprint Wireless since 2001/2002. Sprint's agent stated their files go back at least 10 years and that I was not in their database at all.

I received a letter requesting payment for an outstanding debt with Verizon Wireless for the amount of $198.46 within 30 days or judgment would be mailed to me. I found it kind of strange because Verizon Wireless is my current wireless carrier and I've been a customer since 2008. The letter came with no documentation and no supporting evidence that is showing me that indeed the debt is mine and valid. Their dbtsolutions.com is useless. I contacted my Verizon Wireless and they stated I do not have any outstanding balance on my wireless account and I am current. Verizon Wireless representative stated that the letter is a fraud and to report this letter. I am very concerned and frightened that I could be a victim of fraud.
