    I recently closed my account with Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) as I will be living overseas for the next 12 months. I finally received my final statement from Spectrum, which noted that I owe a whopping total of $20 (I already returned my wireless router). Nevertheless, the only statement I received from them included a menacing message about my account being in "collections" for nonpayment. I promptly called Spectrum to speak with a customer care rep. The representative kindly informed me that my account was not in collections and that the threatening message was "automatically generated" on the company's print-outs. Satisfied, but perturbed, I stopped thinking about it.

    One day later, I got a call from ERC, the designated debt collector for Spectrum/Time Warner Cable. In addition to impersonating a "Time Warner" accounts executive, the individual on the other end of the line was insistent that I give her my "service address." There are two problems here: (1) Time Warner no longer exists as such and (2) Spectrum would most certainly know my address. I asked to speak with a supervisor, who proved to be quite rude. He, too, pretended to be a Time Warner representative and insisted that my account is in collections. I told him that I paid my final balance ($20) by check and that a Spectrum rep had assured me that my account balance is $0. He got incredibly nasty with me and finally admitted that my account is not in collections. When I asked him what prompted his call, he hung up. Please check up on this business as its practices certainly include ethics and legal violations.

    So after like 6 years of not having Sprint and they're almost off my report I get a call 2 weeks ago from them. The guy was super nice with me and understanding. Well I get a call today and the dude is a straight up ** telling me I have to pay something soon or the amount will go up. I told him I don't have money to and it's reasons why and I prefer not to talk about it as it is family issues and not some bill collectors business as if they'd care anyways. But he proceeded to tell me I have to put a card on file so they can take their money to pay Sprint. Do I have a legal job, how many hours I work a week and how much I make a week, can I afford $500 down and $300 a month for 3 months plus interest that they will add after the first $500 payment. For me to make sure I pay it or I'll never make it in like anywhere and crap like seriously?

    ERC is collecting on my AT&T internet account. I'm confused because of the amount they are asking for. When I called to set up the internet through them, they told me the total price for the first month plus installation would be $160. That included the installation. They said I get a discount because I was a new customer. So, I agreed because the payments would be reasonable and I would have unlimited access and the price would be the same.

    Or so, I thought. After a month and a half, I received a bill for over $400. I called them and just got flimsy excuses for such a large bill. They lied to me. Now, when I checked my credit score and clicked on ERC for AT&T, the price jumped to $522!! I think this is extremely unfair. How do I get them to lower the price to what I owe for the 6 weeks? I don't mind paying the $160 because that's the price they gave me. I don't have $522. It would take me 4 or 5 months to save that. But, like I said, that amount is unfair.

    This company fraudulently used my information to place a 250$ collection in my report. As a result my credit has suffered 25+ points and there is no evidence from this company as to where this debt originated from. This is a scam. I understand collections is a business but this company is fraudulent and they are violating several FDCPA laws, negligence, so on and so forth. I strongly urge everyone to join as a class to sue this company.

    The ERC don't care who or how bad they screw someone's credit up! I'm looking at my report right now and ERC has me owing $569 and also $706 both reported on 1/21/2017 but opened 02/07/2013. Now the only phone service I have used is prepaid because I never had the credit to get contract service and when I found out that T-Mobile was one of the companies that used ERC for collections I called T-Mobile whom I had been a prepaid customer with since 1998 while they were a small company called Powertel and then VoiceStream then they became T-Mobile and service got worse. Anyway I was told I did not call them and tell them I had switched or stopped my service on my PREPAID phone. I ask the man with the accent, if T-Mobile thought that maybe the reason I didn't buy more time.

    Now these places will turn your phone off if you do not pay for more time the instant it is due and they charged me for months of service I didn't have or use because I did not call them and let them know I was switching prepaid services. Which I did and I switched to Verizon Prepaid and am very happy with them. T-Mobile and ERC can both kiss that money goodbye and be ready because I am looking in every corner to try and have charges of fraud brought up against both companies for fraudulent claims and a few more charges. Let's put it this way, my father's a retired Investigator for the sheriff's dept. I'm going to have him and an attorney look at some records I have with these people.

    They have ruined a lot of people's credit and have not helped but a few straighten it out when they were in the wrong. I have worked and done without a lot and brought my credit up from 450 to 619 now and these two charges which keeps updating themselves when they get old are still on there. But by having working credit instead of it just sitting there idle it continues to go up even with the old IOUs. I have credit with WebBank (Fingerhut) and a local furniture store and keep them paid and I add Items when the account get paid up good so that it keeps the credit going with good ratings from the debtors. It's not there but it's getting better.

    Fraudulent claim. ERC left me a message on my office phone to state that they are attempting to collect a debt of $619.38, for Charter Communications for service at my rental address, which is in Florida. The supposedly person who opened this account in my name had my personal information. When I asked them to verify my personal information, they could not provide it to me. ERC informed me they will mail me a Fraud Form to take to the police station to file a report.

    Upon receiving this vague form, I contacted ERC. I immediately was suspicious when they gave me a different service address from our conversation 5 days later, which was now in St. Louis. I asked for the contact number for Charter Communication, the company I allegedly owe. They informed me that they did not have the number and I can google the number. Upon reviewing the ERC reviews, they are a fraudulent company. I can imagine how many honest hard-working people who thought they were doing the right thing that was defrauded by them. ERC should be thoroughly investigated by the appropriate Florida agency and shut down!!!

    My sister received a bill for over $800 for an AT&T account that was delinquent. She has never used AT&T, has no credit, and is only 19. I called AT&T on her behalf and they said the account went delinquent in 2012 when she would have been 14. They could not give me any info on the account citing privacy reasons and they wouldn't give any info to my sister either stating the same. I called ERC, and they refused to give me any info and when my sister went on the phone, they hung up. We will most definitely be calling a lawyer.

    In 2014, I notice a bill on my credit so when I called, they told me I owe AT&T, which I remember the bill and I knew one day they would put it on my credit for $102. So I called and settled an amount with them and paid it. After several months pass, I notice it was still on my credit and they told me they would remove it. So I called AT&T collections and they said they do not see a bill for that amount. So today tried to called Enhanced Recovery Corp. and googled them and the building is close down, so how do I get this off my credit?

    Fraudulent charge from fivr.com over PayPal Credit. Received call regarding unpaid debt. They had my old California address, but my current NY phone number (We've lived here for 15 years). I explained that I didn't understand what was going on and through our exchange we both came to the conclusion that the charge had been fraudulently made. They had an unknown gmail address for me, that I had never created. ERC was nice once they realized that I was simply trying to determine what had happened.

    Now the fraud will continue through the process; PayPal Credit fraud dept, paperwork filing, possibly police report & credit check to see if it has been listed. If so, then more paperwork to resolve that. I had noticed that my credit rating had dropped a little bit, but I attributed it to having opened another credit card, and as checking your score does not give you details this issue may be on it. I must say -- this problem is NOT the fault of or by ERC, however, it does appear from reading up on them here that it is possible that they take on a lot of fraudulent claims.

    ERC sent me a collection letter a few months ago in regard to Comcast. I do not, nor ever have, lived in an area serviced by Comcast. I called them and they quickly discovered I was not the Debbie ** they were looking for. They assured me this wouldn't impact my credit and they would correct their files. Instead, they reported me to Transunion, Experian and Equifax and my bank alerted me today that my credit rating had dropped and that a derogatory report was showing on my credit report. It was Enhanced Recovery Company. Now, I have to take time to write all 3 credit reporting agencies, along with ERC to get this corrected.

    A few days ago, I was checking my credit report and it appeared that I owe ERC $715, and they supposedly got the debt from Sprint. I called Sprint because I had an account with them before I transferred to Boost Mobile. The last bill I got from Sprint marked $0.00. When I called Sprint informed me they didn't transfer my account to a debt collector. What a crock... Seems like anyone can add derogatory items onto credit reports. I will not pay ERC $715 dollars and nobody knows where that came from. I think debt collection agencies need to research consumers before purchasing debts.

    I randomly pulled my credit to find I had a collection from Time Warner. I vaguely recall canceling the service when I switched to AT&T in 2012-ish. ERC alleges I owe 164.07 and they said my last payment to TWC was $161.44. First and foremost, I would never ignore a bill. My credit is important to me. Secondly, TWC never billed me for the alleged "164.07" nor did I ever receive anything from a collection agency. I think TWC actually does this on purpose to people. Or it's ERC... I know of quite a few people that have TWC collections for no reason and since it was 2012, I have no records... my faux pas.

    I was informed by Credit Karma that I had a new collections account and when I went looking it appears that it is this ERC people. They are trying to collect on the behalf of TMobile. I will say that I did have an account with TMobile back in the day and I ported over my phone number about a year and a half ago. When I did the porting I contacted TMobile and talked with them about what I owed and what I was doing. TMobile talked to my new company and myself and the representative from TMobile told both of us that I owed nothing and I was completely caught up on my bill. The representative also told us that I was probably going to be getting a refund.

    I completed my porting of my phone and continued on with life until I got information saying that TMobile had sold my account to a different collections company (Who is still trying to collect from me as well) and I disputed that as well. That company found my information correct and it is still showing open on my credit report, but is not being reported. Then come October of this year and I have ERC showing that I owe TMobile again. I call them and explained to both TransUnion and ERC and neither of them say that they can help and the only thing I can do is contact The Presidents Office and talk with them. When the girl put me on hold from ERC she came back and told me that no one is available and I have to call back. She didn't give hours or what time zone so I had to ask her and she said that she didn't know that she had to tell me that.

    In asking all for a bill showing that I actually owe the money, no one can provide that for me. They are ruining my credit by reporting this twice and not actually listening to the information I have. I suggest that if you ever see them on your credit report that you contact them right away as this is going to be a long fight for you. They don't care and they have no clue as to what they are talking about.

I never received a bill via mail or a call whatsoever. They were sending this mail to another address which I have never resided at. I contacted TWC and they stated account is closed. There is a zero balance. I requested multiple deletion letters by fax and mail and NONE WERE RECEIVED. Every rep tells you something different. I spoke with Nikki ** at the President's Office and she kept claiming they are disputing it or deleting it.

    I lodged a complaint with CFPB and I am awaiting a response. This company is absolutely fraudulent in nature. How the credit bureau even accepted this collection is beyond me. If they do not rectify this I will take them to court. They destroy people's credit for a living whether or not the debt is valid. This company should be shut down because upper management are incompetent all the way down the chain.

    I have read others comments and have had issues dealing with ERC as well. I have sent letters to the CRA's and directly to ERC. No problem with Experian. They removed the negative tradeline immediately but I have had a heck of a time with Equifax. They investigated and reinvestigated and came back to me that they have verified the debt and confirmed it belongs to me. I contacted them to request their method of verification and was told that ERC has confirmed my name and social security number. What a bunch of crap. They suggested that I once again contact ERC. I have sent several letters, all certified, return receipt, to ERC to validate this debt and have received no response whatsoever.

    I have now sent my FINAL warning letters to both ERC and Equifax that unless this debt is validated, I will take to court and sue for punitive damages. I have informed Equifax that since ERC has ignored my validation request, they are in violation of the FCRA act and must remove this tradeline from my credit report. I hope this letter finally works and it is removed immediately and I do not have to deal with this issue any longer.

    I was contacted by ERC in late October 2015. They claimed I owed money on a AT&T cell phone bill from 3 years ago. I listened carefully to the collector on the phone. I did not admit or deny the bill and I did not make a promise to pay or entertain a settlement offer. I was with AT&T for over 4 years--they robbed me each month for their service when my contract was over. It was over. I did not renew. This was in 2012.

    As the debt collector spoke I knew he didn't have a leg to stand on but he tried and I didn't take the bait. They called me every morning at 9am like clockwork from their office in Providence RI. I never picked up again. Just recently in early December I saw they reported the old cell phone debt to Equifax and Experian. I could not believe it. These crooks actually reported it as a new delinquent account 1) that's against the law it wasn't a new account so it was falsely report under as a new contract; 2) it was illegal to collect from me on such a old debt.

    Why you ask? TIME BARRED. This is a federal law. They cannot make me pay this or make a promise to pay on this account it was well over two years and they gave false information to these agencies to validate this. The contract was over and I was done with AT&T. Case closed. Of course I disputed this and it was deleted from my credit report much to my surprise from Experian. I have not tried Equifax as yet but I will.

    These people are smart enough to think we are all stupid about the laws. According to federal law if I so choose I could actually get a lawyer and sue them what they tried to do was so illegal. PLEASE read the laws before you commit or admit anything to debt collectors. Their LAST call I told them I knew about my rights and I knew them very well. I know they broke federal and state laws. They never called again.

    My credit card was virtually stolen 2 months ago. The bank unbeknownst to me shut down the account. All accounts with auto pays were shut down. I have been paying for my original AOL dial up service for 15 years (I know, I know!). I never use my AOL account, I have a free account with someone else. I happened to look at the mail the other day (there is 10's of thousands of junk emails) and there was an email from "AOL" failed payment notification. It says that I owe $36.99 and to call their "AOL member services team".

    I called that number and explained what happened and that my husband called a month ago to cancel the account (finally!). They said that I owe $75 but they could reduce it to $25. I asked for a supervisor who told me the same. I told them that my husband called AOL last month but it must not have been cancelled. I started asking for department names and phone numbers. They gave me names but said that they didn't have phones. I informed them that I would find it the old fashioned way then. They put me on hold for the "head of department".

    Meanwhile, I looked her up on the computer and found that she doesn't work for AOL but for Enhanced Recovery Company. When she got back on the phone I asked again if she worked for AOL and she said yes. "So you don't work for ERC?" "Uhhhhhhhh, yea I do." "Well that's not AOL is it?" "Yes it is" "Uh, no. You are a collection company that bought an account from AOL, right?" "Well we can offer you to take care of this by paying $25." "No, you can waive my account and I don't appreciate being lied to." "I didn't lie to you, you didn't ask..." REALLY???

    I called an AOL customer service number (all of which are no longer based in the U.S. EXCEPT for the collection dept in Florida (ERC)) who can only refer me to the collection department (because they bought the account!). I informed the nice AOL gentleman that it is not an AOL department and they shouldn't keep lying to customers about it. The only reason they want $25 is because that's how much they bought the account for. I'll be damned if I am paying it. 15 years I paid $40 to AOL and 10 of it I never used it. I already paid my stupid dues...

I have not ever had a Comcast account and can't even get Comcast in my area yet it is now on my credit report. What a crock... Seems like anyone can add anything onto credit report then we play heck getting it fixed. I will not pay ERC for an account that is not mine. I think they all need to check out who they do business with and then check out social security numbers and addresses before trying to collect on a debt.

I advised I wasn't going to be paying those fees or any fees associated to processing my payments (I'm in debt collections myself). I know how this game works. They agreed and now I'm paid in full.

    Have a 522.00 debt from Comcast that was left over from my divorce 5 years ago (ex was court ordered to pay it and he didn't), I didn't know it was still around until I went to get pre-qualified to buy a house in March of this year and found out it had first been reported last October (weirdly enough ERC has it listed as a "loan"). Called ERC and got nowhere. My attempts to validate the debt got me nowhere fast, my attempts to make payment went nowhere. The last rep I talked to was adamant that I give her my social security information, full name, date of birth and bank account information (routing number included) before they would do anything. I, of course refused. No one has free rein with my bank account or personal information. NO ONE. When I refused she stated the call was over and hung up.

    When I closed on my house a month ago, they added the debt into my closing costs and cut me a check which I then mailed that afternoon certified, registered with a signature return. They did finally send me a debt validation letter a week after I closed on my house (mind you I sent out the initial debt verification request the first week in March) the documentation they sent me were 3 bills from 10+ years ago - the totals didn't even match the amount they were asking for (the bills totaled 612.56). I think it's amazing that it took them over 4 months to respond to my initial request.

    They claim they've never gotten the check even though I have documentation from UPS that says they did. Check hasn't cleared the title company and the funds continue to sit in my escrow account. It can sit there until hell freezes over for all I care. I haven't heard from them since. ERC wants your money but only on THEIR terms, which means total unfettered access to your bank account, which isn't going to happen - ever.

No, a real debt collect is going to call you with a real person behind it and deal with you as soon as you answer the phone.

My gut says this is NOT legit and I ain't buying what they are selling.

    I understand that collection agencies are buying up old debts (like more than 6-7 years old - the kind that have been written off). But when contact is made by the debtor, the clock restarts at day one. So a debt that had been charged off, is re-activated like new and the harassment continues. I have no business with whoever these low life's are and my advice is if you must have dealings with ERC, to have a good attorney do the talking. Don't try dealing with the mess this can become by yourself! Contact your states attorney general and insist they investigate these people.

I have called the number listed on the top of the letter, and it rings once and says the line is busy. I called the number provided on the top of the website and it also rings once and says the line is busy. I hit the contact tab and called the sales number, which rang and a recorded menu picks up. First I hit 0 for an operator and it rang then hung up on me. 2 seconds later I called the number again and this time hit 3 to call about my account and got hung up on again. There is obviously no way to get a hold of these people. Seems like a game.

    Focus Point: Use the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when dealing with debt collectors who do not validate debts in 30 days. My issue: I checked my credit reports and found a collection entry for $400 placed by Enhanced Recovery Corporation. I sent off a DV letter, certified and signature required. 30+ days later no response. I sent a letter to TU and EXP with my findings and disputed the $400. TransUnion deleted the trade line and Experian did not. Experian claimed the trade line to be 'verified.'

    How I resolved the Enhanced Recovery Corporation trade line? I contacted Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at https://help.consumerfinance.gov and opened a dispute and attached all my scanned documents. I had a response from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau the same day. Enhanced Recovery Corporation aka Enhanced Recovery Company, LLC submitted a manual deletion to the national credit reporting agencies.

    I just discovered that AT&T uses debtor collector, Enhanced Debt Collector. I never knew why my final payment to AT&T in 2013 ended up with this debtor collector. After paying the final bill to AT&T I never heard from them again until I got a call from debt collector based in Fort Worth, TX, from whom I never heard from again until Enhanced Debt Collector called trying to collect the exact amount that I had paid AT&T. AT&T or its many debt collectors are not crediting what's paid them and continuously harass debtors of paid debts. No wonder even commercials are calling out AT&T for its worse service but it is in collusion with the worse debt collectors.

    I have received a couple of notices for $840 charges with ATT that are claimed to be overdue. I have had cell phone services with ATT since 2004 and my account has always been in good standing. I have had no other accounts with ATT. The account number differs from my actual account number. I spoke with ATT representative and he concurred that my account was current and that the ERC account number was not valid. He had me send a copy of the collection notice to their fraud department via email. I never received a response from their fraud department. Today I accessed my credit account and ERC is listed as a delinquent account on all three major credit reporting bureaus. I have filed a dispute and intend to follow up with ATT again.

    The incompetent buffoons at Enhanced Recovery reported a old disputed Comcast account of $65 without making a honest diligent attempt to contact me at my last known address. Thereby denying me the opportunity to settle this disputed nuisance collection account. They claim they were given the wrong address. When in fact I still live at the same where I closed this disputed account with Comcast. Which address did they try to contact me at? The address where I lived when I was in third grade?

    I called them up, even offered to settle this disputed account as long as they agreed to delete it. Which they refused. Strange since it was their negligence which resulted is this disputed nuisance account being reported. Without first allowing me the opportunity to settle this disputed nuisance collection account. How is that Enhanced Recovery is allowed to use ignorance as a excuse to justify their intentional attempt to tarnish my very good credit? It's obvious the only reason they are reporting this it to harass and annoy me. Nice bunch of folks.

    I paid my debt quickly and upheld my end of the bargain. Yet when I looked at my credit report, the Enhance Recovery Corporation is still listing my account as "IN COLLECTION". When I called to request that they remove the item from credit report, the representative said they will categorically deny any requests to remove items from credit reports even though it is in their power to do so. They choose not to.

    This is despicable behavior. They got the money they wanted and that is all they care about. They also only pretend to allow you access to your account online. There is a link where I am supposed to be able to access my account, but the link doesn't work... It's a bad script. So with the least amount of effort and responsibility or concern, this despicable company stays in business.

    It should not be allowed. This behavior doesn't allow people to improve their credit. It doesn't support making this country better. It only helps to serve Enhanced Recovery Corporation's bank roll and interests. They should be held accountable in the same way that you and I are held accountable for our debts. When the account is paid, take it off the credit report.

I told him the reference number of the letter that stated they had taken off credit report and he said he had no way to verify and I had to pay.

    Checked credit report. Found account in collection with them. I asked and was assured that upon receipt of payment it would be deleted from my credit report. They lied. They are deceitful. They accepted the payment under false pretenses and never deleted it from my credit report. Listen closely. If you pay an old debt and it's not deleted it may show paid satisfactory but is still hurting your credit score. The only way to boost your credit score is for the negative item to be removed. Paid satisfactory after being negative does very little to help your credit score.

    My parents have been making payments on a debt that ERC obtained. They agreed on a certain amount to be paid per month-- a hardship payment; which is all they have left each month, and they now want to have more than double this. It was explained that there was $130.00 left each month and will send that amount until it is paid off.

    The rep, Mrs. Cam, handling the account said it was not enough per month anymore and threatened legal action. She kept insisting and making my mom feel as though she had no choice but to agree to an increase. "There was no way it could be paid due to not enough money in the month", she told me. I told her she needed to call them and tell them there was no way she could pay over the amount she had left each month. Again the rep began to insist and make threats about legal action. It was asked to speak to her supervisor, I was told his name was Luis. After a long while, he agreed to $130.00 each month .

    But not 10 minutes later, the rep handling the account called to say the agreement she felt forced into, was broken and the account was not in good standing. I am very upset with this entire situation. My father has dementia and my mother has a bad heart. She's had one heart attack and every time she gets off the phone with ERC, she is stressed, crying and I am scared she's going to have a heart attack over this company not wanting to accept the amount that can be paid. When people are actually saying “yes this is my debt and I want to pay it”, why not let them pay? Why not accept the amount until it is paid off as long as no payments are missed?
