Transworld Systems Collection Agency Reviews

Contacted TRANSWORLD to actually pay the debt I owed. Was told that I should dispute the debt. I paid 1 dollar to retrieve my credit report, to look for errors. The dollar paid went to a company called 'IDENTITY IQ'? I unknowingly subscribed to a credit monitoring service, that's been a nightmare to cancel. Charging my card 20 dollars a month. Ultimately I was forced to make a fraud claim, cancel my card, and now I don't know what to do about the debt. Business ethics have changed drastically in this country. Very sad...

Our office engaged Transworld Systems Inc. for collection services, facilitated by their agent, James **. Unfortunately, my experience with their service is extremely poor. Despite prepaying for 100 collection accounts over a 2-year period, the service proved highly ineffective. No collections were made, and the collection information on their portal was all incorrect. Attempts to address the issues with James ** were met with resistance, as he refused to refund the remaining unused accounts. The lack of transparency and cooperation and their ineffectiveness left me dissatisfied with their services. This company was a waste of time, money, and effort. NOT RECOMMENDED!

We tried to use this company to collect a debt. They were not able to collect anything or even find the people that owe us money. The debt collection was pending for about 2 years and was completely useless. Waste of time!

Our office used Transworld for over 10 years to attempt to collect unpaid patient bills, reducing our administrative burden. "Attempt" was pretty much all they did (for a fee). Their accounting was extremely misleading - I estimated that at best we broke even (i.e. what they collected versus what we paid). However, they claimed to be benefitting us significantly. I would not trust this company at all and am now embarrassed that we used them at all, versus just writing off unpaid bills after, say, 3 months. I can't recommend them except as a tool to make you (as a client) feel that you "are doing something".

Just received a debt collection attempt under my father's name at the home I grew up in where he lived before he died in 1997. I knew what it was and ripped it up to toss in the trash same as the other collection agency who tried this ** two years ago. But I wanted to post here about it so people realize this is a scam to bleed money from people. Why did it take 26 years for them to 'decide' he has a debt to pay? Because they must have some information about an account he once had 26+ years ago.

This robocall collection company claims "this is a business matter" when they leave a message and does not disclose they are a collection agency but state they are calling from the Federal Government. They call every single day which is against Canadian Law. Collection agencies have laws they are to follow and they will be reported. Impersonating a government official will get you up to 5 years in jail.

This co. has called me off and on for years. I owe nothing and they just started calling again. They are not BBB accredited however the BBB has a government warning about Transworld and their practices on their website. BEWARE!

This place is constantly calling me and never leaving a message. I have nothing in collections, and I'm up to date on all bills. I called their number back 888-899-6650 and talk to someone. I asked why they keep calling me and never leaving a message. He didn't ask for a ph#, my name or any other identifying information. He just said they've been calling because they are trying to reach Eileen. No Eileen is at this phone number. Funny thing is I called from my work phone, which is a private number as I work in healthcare so there's no way for them to pull up who it is registered under.

I have never experienced such unprofessionalism and such stupidity, such rudeness in my whole entire 21 years of life. Not only do these people not know how to follow rules. This is the most unprofessional, collection agency, known to mankind. These people have called me, harassed me over a month for money that I have already paid, but I’m paying it again so I can go to school. Harassed me about money I have given these people money over the phone and they have misplaced my payment.

I have never received a letter or call from these people yet I had two collections drop onto my credit from October and March during which I lived in completely different states. I have never gone to the doctor or hospital in either of these months. In March I had Tricare and it would’ve all been paid for anyways. This is absolutely a scam! Tried calling the number and it doesn’t go through to anyone. Reported it to Transunion and they took both off within minutes. That leads me to believe they’ve dealt with them before and already know they’re fraudulent. I can’t believe this is a legitimate company. Hopefully not for much longer. They need a lawsuit against them and it might be from me!

On 05/28/2021 I called to resolve a debt through them. They had me enter a credit card through the phone. The operator said it did not go through, so I entered a different credit card. They both were charged it turns out. I've spoken to them numerous times, and they promised a refund on one of the credit cards. On which card it would be refunded to "they did not know". I have not received a refund and it has been over two months.

This company is trying to collect "debts" from medical bills that have already been settled by insurance. This is insurance fraud. I received a "bill" last month from Transworld Systems on behalf of a doctor's office that was submitted and paid to insurance several months ago.

Transworld Systems is extremely unprofessional, they will make your call in a circle and then the rude customer service will hang up without any explanation. Not sure, why I give them 1, it should be 0 (Zero). I'll complain to Better Business Bureau, I urge, please report to BBB in your state so these company may learn their lesson (which they will not).

I had a bill that had gone to them while I was in the process of requesting financial assistance at a medical facility. I spoke with Transworld on three occasions, and they were extremely kind and understanding. They even wished me, at the end of each phone call, a good day and to stay safe.

As a Purple Heart veteran, this company are heartless and do not care about military personnel. Call them, and you'll see what I mean. Other companies are willing to help and work with you, not this guys. If I could give it a zero, I would.

Apparently, I had an outstanding payment from a doctor's office of $69 from 2015. I have not received communication since I last paid and thought it was paid off years ago. Today, I see my credit score dropped by 64 points because they reported a missed payment of $69. I ordered a Truck recently and it arrives this week. Unbelievable. Just send a bill by email, mail, whatever every month if there is balance! I am not sure it was even correct. Clerical errors exist and companies with such poor ratings are likely mismanaged leading to further errors and bad behavior.

I got a bill in the mail from Transworld. There is no name on the account. Just my address. They say I owe Fedex $800!!! I have never used Fedex in my life. Well I've tried calling for 3 days and when I call the 800# it doesn't even ring I just get "thank you for calling we are not available now" and it hangs up. Is this even a legit company?

I checked my credit report and saw an $8,000 dollar debt. I’m not tracking any reason why that should be there. It’s listed as TRANSWORLD SYS INC/926. I went to their website, selected “contact us”. Link doesn’t work. I call their contact number, and the voicemail says the mailbox is full and can’t accept new messages. So they are allowed to negatively impact me by posting on my credit report but they are not available to give me a chance to review the validity of the debt? Shady and unfair!!!

I got a letter from Transworld in re: to Disaster Relief Hurricane Katrina (2005) FEMA saying that I owe $5003.38!! However, in 2016 when we had a huge flooding event, I was eligible for FEMA and FEMA said nothing to me about a debt I owed them. I would NOT have gotten approved for assistance if I owed them money. Principal is $5,003.38. Accrued Interest $419.26. Penalty Charges $2,520.79. Admin Costs $15.00. Other Fees $2,546.37. Balance Due $10,504.80.

No help with a incorrect debt. They are called a Parasitic Company, now I know why. I will never pay this bill now, even if they did have some proof. It is a hospital by my insurance. They don't care if you owe the money or not. Thieves!!!!

I received a bill in the mail addressed to my apartment complex at my address without my name. They claim money is owed to the local power company. My name isn't there, only the address and a bill. There is an account number as well, which is not mine. Very strange. Bad business.

I had Transworld Systems Inc. send a wage garnishment letter to my new employer for a military star card that I haven't used in over 4 years. They informed my employer that I owed $2390 and would be garnishing my wages all while acting like a branch of the federal government. I called the star card customer service and verified that I did have a balance but it was only $1400. I also called Transworld Systems Inc. to figure out what this was all about and was asked for an account number that I explained there wasn't one on the paperwork they sent my company. They hung up on me.

I am going to call the bank tomorrow and reverse the charges. I was notified that there was an outstanding debt that was not on my credit report. Bogus charges from an old apartment complex. I let the rep convince me that taking them to court would cost almost the same amount they were charging. I paid this company 2000 dollars. No one can give me proof this was paid in full when I requested this multiple times. I spoke with many people who refused to give me a supervisor.

I never heard of this company until it made derogatory remarks on my credit report. I had disputed charges made by an apartment complex. Maybe they sold the so called debt to Transworld without knowledge or response to my dispute.

I've received several calls from this company. When I called them back thinking it was with a bank I was applying for a loan through they just stated "Transworld Systems INC". When I asked who they are and what they represent the lady screamed at me through the phone. I cursed her pretty righteous and hung up then blocked the number. I read they are a collection agency but I don't have any debt behind so I had a feeling it was a scam.

I have a legitimate medical bill I owe that happens to be with this company. I wanted to take care of it and set monthly payment arrangement for it since I'm on a tight budget. Well I guess the rep decided that I needed to pay it faster and changed it to bi-monthly arrangements. Which as you can guess, over-drafted my bank account, which is embarrassing as I haven't had an over-draft since I was young. When I called and demanded a refund they tried to get me to keep the payment as is and change the arrangement from there. Nope, as it is it's a good thing I have a little cash on me to get me through the 4 days till payday. They say they are refunding it but can't tell me when that will happen. I'm not holding my breath that will happen at all. I'm usually smarter than to fall for something like this. Thank goodness my bank is working with me and refunded the over draft fee. Whatever you do, DO NOT set payment arrangements with this company.

About a year ago, I received correspondence from this fraudulent and nuisance of a company that the US government has allowed to continue to harass and cause emotional and mental anguish and anxiety to innocent consumers, such as myself. They have purported a scheme that I have a debt with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Agency, Bureau of Fiscal Services in the base amount of $5006.08. They then tacked on accrued interest costs of $226.46, penalty charges of $1,354.28, administrative costs of $480.00 and other unknown fees of $2,261.06, to the tune of $9,327.88.

I've received numerous calls from Transworld Systems Incorporated. Each time they claim to represent UCSF Medical stating I owe money and they are the collection agency. They are lying. UCSF Medical has their own billing department and I confirmed with UCSF Medical that I owe zero dollars. Transworld Systems Incorporated is a parasitic company. I don't understand how they remain in business. The leadership needs to be in prison for fraud.

These people Robocall my home constantly. I keep blocking the number but they use a different number with every call. My credit score is over 800, and I have no debts past or present. There is no earthly reason for these people to contact me, and I can only assume they are lying. On one call, they actually threatened a court case. One time I did answer the call to them, and told them to put it in writing. Naturally no letter ever arrived. I have never had any dealings with Transworld Systems Inc., I have never contacted them, and I have never given them any permission to contact me. I am on the National Do Not Call list.

I can't pay the small amount I owe. I'm stuck, because they don't answer the phone during normal business hours and their website is useless, as it glitches constantly and doesn't take any of my credit cards. Their help line listed is no help either, as they can't have an access to the account. You can't even hear them, it's all cracking and breaking. What a waste of time! They are based in Philippines.

I received a call on my business cell from a "local" number. The person barely spoke English and asked to speak to my son by name. I asked what it was regarding - "private matter", asked for a number to have my son return their call - "we cannot give out our number". Asked what type of company they were -"Financial Services". Asked directly if they were a collection co - "repeated financial services". Told them I would not give out son's number but would have him call them.

Charged me 1700 in collection fees on the first day of them getting the account. I called in and spoke to someone who said they would work with me on the collection fee. Now two weeks later I called and they said, "Nope. We don't waive the fees unless your account is over 27 months delinquent." What? You haven't even had the account for 3 weeks and you won't work with me? Unreal. They need a class action lawsuit.

Transworld is a scam, do not fall for it!!! I received 2 letter from them (1 a few weeks ago & 1 today) stating that I owed $ to Blue Shield of CA (BS). I knew this was not true,, as I had never received any letters from BS saying I owed them any money, plus my FICO score is 862, obviously, I have excellent credit and never had any accounts go to collections. This letter sounded very suspicious.... I immediately contacted BS and told them about the letter. After checking my account, the agent said "no, you do not owe us money and there is no record of having your account go to any collection agency." After I gave him the 800 # on the letter, he called them.

They call me every day. I have no debt. I am a banker and would lose my job if I had anything in collections. Already been thru credit background checks, NO debt at all. They insist I need to send them money. Someone gave them my number, I get other scam companies calling now also, many from California. I had to block their #. Don't send them any money, SCAMMERS!!! THEY ARE.

I am getting calls from Transworld Systems. They leave a message to call them back and when I do I can't reach anyone. I believe they have the wrong number. How do I stop these calls. Very annoying!!!!

I received a phone call from Transworld Systems Inc. on May 8, 2019. They left a message on my machine. The automated voice message was from someone called Kelly **. Their phone number is 888-899-6650. The message said they were trying to collect a debit but did not specify what the debit was. The message said I should call them. They even assigned an ID number that I should provide when I return their call. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DEBIT with any company, or individual - that includes IRS, local or state government, Bank, Credit Card company, any private company or citizen, etc. This is a total scam. I did not return the call and will not try to contact them.

So I defaulted on my Star Card back in 2010 (that was my fault) and it was sent to collections. Fast forward to 2019 I got a letter saying my Federal taxes were taken to pay a debt to AAFES. Oh I had no Idea I forgot about this and it needs to get paid, so I call the number and talk to someone, her name was J. **, I found out that my card was sent to collections and after 9 years of sitting in collections I owed a total of (after the feds sent them my $1200.00 tax return) $9,046.08. I was taken back to say the least so I ask how that was possible. Well they charge a 17.63% interest rate. My Credit card is lower than that by 1.60%.

I contacted this company after receiving mail with my first and middle name. Person was rude, wouldn't work with me. Said even if made payment wouldn't stop from taking my social security. Basically bullies. Military star says the collection company will work with you, but they'd rather make me homeless and lose my daughter.

I work in Quality Assurance. This is a scam. Please do not give them any information. They are trying to get your money and/or personal information. They called me 4 times in one day. One number was an 800 number, the next was a private number, the third was a local number to look like it is from my area, and the last was a SCAM LIKELY caller ID from T-Mobile. Please be diligent with your personal information. When I called the SCAM LIKELY number and the 800 number, they all came back to the same company. The other two lines were "busy" every time I tried. They weren't consistent in saying all calls are recorded. I even had to ask why they only told me one of the two calls was being recorded and why it was being recorded as they did not say.

I received a Disability Severance pay from the military that was taxed. I spent some time in and out of physical therapy rehabilitation. During this time I fell behind in payments of my Star Card. When I called Star Card to pay a balance about $2000 and was informed that my account was transferred to TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC. I was informed by Transworld Systems Inc. that interest and fees had caused my balance had more than tripled. This company wanted me to pay almost $12,000. I begged both companies to forgive some of them with no success. I agreed to pay a fee debited out of my bank account each month.
