    TransWorld works with New Standard Equities. New Standard Equities runs an apartment complex in Hayward, CA called the Mark Apartments. Way back in 2019 someone opened a lease with a similar name to mine. The lease only lasted a year but the person(s) stayed about 1.5 years longer. Apparently this is when some $35,000 of debt racked up. Fast forward to November of 2023. I find out that there is a huge debt to my name from an apartment complex 500 miles away. Huge surprise because 1- I've lived in the same county for 30 plus years and 2- I've never even visited Hayward in my life.

    I've been dealing with trying to resolve this for over 6 months now. Went through all the usual methods that the FTC and Credit Bureau have spelled out for victims of fraud. But up to this point there's only person from the company who is reachable, sometimes, and that is Mursal **. 1 Local Sheriff and 1 Hayward PD Sergeant have done what they can to help me resolve this but no avail. I've looked for contacts on their website, looked up emails tried calling and there doesn't seem to be any real people, other then Mursal who ignores mine and the Sergeant's calls.

    This is something that should be easily resolved but there aren't resources to communicate with anyone properly to fix this issue. I've done more research on this company than I care to remember but when you look into it you notice a lot of smoke and mirrors at play here. I wouldn't be surprised if I weren't the only one dealing with this. From the looks of the other reviews I wouldn't be surprised if this place is some kind of front for fishy business. Transworld claims that NES has CONFIRMED the debt but when I request the proof they claim they can't share it. I've made dozens of calls with all parties involved but cannot get any solid information. I don't know how Transworld can collect a debt without correct personal information.

    This company is a nightmare to work with. The agent told me they would take automatic payments from my account every month and they did not which resulted in me being late and having to contact them to resolve the issue. When I contacted them to resolve the issue they stated it's no longer in their office? But they failed to contact me when the payment was not automatically taken out. It took 2 calls and multiple reps to locate my account and to even get any assistance on what's going on. This company is horrible. I have never heard of them before, this being my first experience and it's just awful to jump through all these hoops because of mistakes on their end. I would never recommend anyone to use this company. Customer service and assistance of any kind is useless.

    This company is totally worse… They are so mean and so rude. Before I paid my full last payment I ask about some extra charge and issues. They said everything will be ok after I pay but after paid the full amount they act like don’t know nothing. Keep saying contract with credit card company, my thing is if the credit company already put in collection agency and they contract to me for collect money. How they ignore any questions or issues. They have to talk and discuss about any issues, especially the manager. He act like he is president of the world.

    This company is the absolute worse! They don’t have the up-to-date information for what I owe that I already worked with a law firm to settle. They have literally harassed my family members, friends and an old job by calling all times of the day/night. They have even called after 9pm! Which is against the law for debt collectors! I would strongly suggest no one do any business with them until doing a VERY deep dive into their practices!!

    Explained that I am on maternity leave and waiting for disability payments. He said, "Well can’t you just pay $20." I said, "I need to pay my mortgage and gas and electric and buy food and diapers for my baby first. Once disability came through I would pay." He said, "Well how long until that comes through." I told him I didn’t know and asked them to stop calling me for now. That it would get taken care of. They still call everyday.

    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!

    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.

    Having lived in this home since the 70s, there is no way Verizon would have not bothered to collect this way back then if he ever owed any money. Nor would they have not attempted to get it from my mother in the two decades she was here before I took over. Simply put, this is a shady company that looks for old accounts to tell people they owe money that they never did.

    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 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.

    Since they didn't ask for my information or my ph# that they have been calling, but instead made up some name of a person they are trying to reach, this leads me to believe this is a FAKE business and they are trying to scam people. I will continue to BLOCK their number and will call and bother them at random times during the day whenever I get bored.

    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 go to call them tonight asking for my username because the website won’t let me in the account that I have with them. I called the collection agency tonight the woman that answered, refused to help me, talked over me, repeated herself multiple times after I specifically said that the information that she’s giving me I already have but I need help finding my username. The woman then hung up in my face and blocked my number. Completely unprofessional and I really hope these people go out of business.

    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!

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.

    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 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.

    However, FEMA knows nothing about this debt I so call owe. It's been 15yrs since Katrina and 4yrs since the flooding event since I've dealt with FEMA so I am curious since FEMA knows nothing about this, how can someone come after me for something that FEMA knows nothing about. FEMA has everything from my past claims on file so I am a bit confused. They say they will garnish my wages at 15% until paid in full. A 15yr so called debt with FEMA that nobody seems to know about besides TRANSWORLD is very suspicious.

    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 seem to remember getting numerous calls from this company and eventually had to block 10's of numbers because they were always unprofessional aggressive and never would tell me what they were calling about. I also receive about 30 messages every 2 weeks from their 888 number that just says to call Bryan. This is a harassing parasitic company that illegally tries to charge consumers far more than they owe on a debt and they don't even remove the debt from your credit or apply the funds to the debt. They are scum. I have contacted a law firm and am dealing with them that way.

    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.

    Once I finally did get one (could have been another scammer) she told me that no one ever processed the account. The apartment complex said they had to update that any account was ever paid!!!! So the apartment kept tell me to call the company back that took my money because they have no knowledge of anything. I asked the rep for an address and website to report Transworld and she had no clue of either. Since I can’t get the correct information from the company to sue, I’m going to reverse the charges. I’m going to take the apartment complex to court. Civil court I hear takes time but at least you won’t be scammed.
