Pioneer Credit Recovery Reviews

They started calling us every single day over a month ago. I've told them a dozen times there is no Alicia ** here and I've had the phone number for over 21 years. They promise to adjust their records but call the next day and every day. No matter who I talk to or how many times they continue to harass us on a daily basis.

I got a call yesterday from a Brenda with them. She gave a reference number but didn't tell who we supposedly owe money too. Very vague and no amount owed. We don't owe anything, never have and have perfect credit and also never had student loans or a business. I left a message with them saying not to call us again but send us something in the mail if we really do owe money to someone. Our 32 yr old daughter used our address for a year so will double check with her but know she always pays her bills on time and has almost perfect credit. She just bought a condo so that would have come up... So what gives??? If they call again I will contact the attorney general's office and BBB with a complaint. This company not even saying who the supposed debt is from-- are very shady! They should be shut down.

I have been calling them back for a week. They are calling my workplace stating, "Ms. ** owes a debt." Well my last name is **, when I call to give my work # and my # cell they said to disregard since they cannot find either. I told them I do not owe anybody a past due balance that now it is being spread thru my workplace that I am behind on a bill. They told me that they will take the # off the list. Well if you do not have the phone # in system then how can you take it off a list. I am about to report them since they are still calling my work and it is embarrassing since it's going thru my work that I owe a past due amount when I pay all my bills 1 month in advance.

My income tax refund was offset this year and last due to me defaulting on my student loan. The department of education said Pioneer Credit is handling my student loan, and I would need to make 9 consecutive payments within the year in order to receive my tax refund for 2019. I have made my payment on time every time. My payment is only $5, but sometimes they charge me twice a month when my payments should only be once a month. Twice they have double charged me, and twice they have overdrafted my account causing an overdraft charge of $28.

My spouse is the new Pioneer’s client. He joined after listening to Ukhozi FM. His account has been Debited three times (Months) as agreed but he is still receiving messages from the Services Providers claiming that they been not receiving settlements. He Phoned Pioneer. He was asked to wait for 7-10 working days for the urgent matter like this. Their turnaround time is not acceptable really.

Look. I don't know why these people's writing me talking about I owe 13,641.89 cents for what I'm still in school and can't no monies be collected unless I'm out of school. It's a damn shame how the government is allowing these foreigners come up here and call us Americans and disrespect us like we some type of animal. I Pray President Trump Send all they scamming ** back where they came from. How can these people allow this!! The government needs to put a stop to this. Even the Metro PC business doing it too! I don't know how these people keep calling me. You not getting no info that you don't already have. Plus I will be calling my Attorney General here in Minneapolis Minnesota to let them know that we have imposters!

On 11/30/18 Bethany called on # 1-302-261-3462, and left a message for me to call her back on a different #, 1-844-622-1807. She said to mention reference number **. I ignored the call because it sounded like a debt collector, and I don't owe any debts. Then Connie called me from the 302# and left the 844 call back# and same reference number and told me it was regarding my neighbor Bryan **. I was shocked that they would call me about my neighbors debt, so I called the 844# and told them to stop calling me for someone else's debt. On 12/18/18 Sharon called me from 1-765-588-5864 and left a message for me to call her back on 1-844-622-1807 regarding Reference number ** and Bryan **. I called the 844# and again told them to stop harassing me for my neighbors debt. I guess we will see how long it takes for them to call me from a different number. If they continue to harass me for someone else's debt I will have to take legal action.

I called them to tell them the IRS has taken close to $20,000 of my tax returns since 2011 on a 2,000 debt. I find out only $80 one year was paid but they've taken all my mortgage interest payments. I asked when was enough enough? 20 min later Enterprise Alabama fire dept, rescue squad, 2 cruisers & an SUV were in my front yard. The police kicked the front door in. I was not clothed. Why are you here??? They received a call from a "neighbor" that I was going to harm myself. One of the responding officers walkie talkie says PIONEER CREDIT!! They called the authorities because I told them I don't owe anything! I want my money back owed me! This happened in the last couple of hours & fortunately I wasn't KILLED by any officers fearing for their lives.

This business is calling and leaving voicemails based on "you have a past address that is the same." When I politely requested they stop calling, they got quite snooty and tried to get me to confirm my identity for the numbers in my household. I realize this business needs to get a little shady to collect on many people. I realize they probably deal with bad attitudes all day, but my original request was calm, polite and to the point.

I was not given a name of the person that had been so rude and obnoxious, said they were from Pioneer Recovery Systems and I owed Money on a Macy's credit card. I have never had one of these cards in the first place. They call at least three to four times a day, every other week or so. They tell me they have contacted my employer and such, how can this be? I have been retired for nine years now, I have no idea what to do to stop this harassment, very tired of this whole ordeal.

They called my company and my company asked what it’s concerning and they said, "Oh he knows." I called them right away and they wanted my personal info before they would talk to me. When I gave them the last 4 digits of my SSN, they said wrong Sean **. That’s ** that they call my employer about some ** that ain’t mine and leave the wrong impression with my coworkers. This is criminal.

First, everyone should check out YouTube videos of how debt collection agencies operate. There are many different opinions but many speak of them as being a scam. One video I watched last night spoke how many Debt Collection companies operate. Most private debt companies buy a defaulted payment from whoever you owe. They now own the debt - not the company that you owed the money to. (I think this is called a 3rd Party Debt Collection). I just Google searched and found out that Pioneer Credit Recovery is a 3rd party collection company.

Representatives from Pioneer Credit have used some pretty aggressive and shady tactics. After verification of my location, they still proceed to call my neighbors, professional contacts, and even previous employer. They even had the nerve to ask one of the third parties for my date of birth and social security number. This company is for sure a little shady. Make sure to record the calls and know your rights.

This is a partner of Navient. They collect on school loans. My loan missed a $50 payment on it and they started calling everyone I have ever known. What has taken me over the edge is this. They called my neighbor a 75-year-old man and asked him to take down a pencil and paper and write the information down and take it next door to give it to me. Are you kidding me? It is not even 30 days late and those are the practices you are taking. Shame on you. The government better look for another company that is ethical in their practices!

Last night at around 8 p.m., which would have made the call placement time (Batavia, NY) around midnight, I received a call from Liz at 1-800-450-3915, wanting all sorts of information about our daughter (an adult). I asked what company or agency she represented and she told me it was Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc., of which I had never heard. I refused to verify our daughter's last name, address, etc., telling her that "I Never give out information on our children, friends, family, etc." Liz replied, "I totally understand. Would you please give her this reference number and ask her to call me: the reference number is **." I didn't ask her any questions or give her any other information. I have never heard of PCR before and certainly do not know Liz.

Caller was looking for a different person with the same last name as I use to have. The birthday is different and social security number was different. They have my ex in-laws and my children as possible relatives. I asked them to supply the information that they received those name from but they refused to tell me. All they said was they will block those names that I was related to. This is the 2nd time it happened. They said they would fix it the first time it happened. I spoke to them on the 9th and again today (10-25-17). Obviously it wasn't fixed because once again they were calling family.

The estimates they give and statements regarding them are inaccurate at best and dishonest at worst. The excuse of an estimate is often used but it is difficult to understand how a "professional" could be off by more than thirty percent, but they get paid no matter what. Almost $4000 in legal administrative fees for a little or nothing. Please refer to reviews instead of the mistake I made.

Violated Consumer Protection Law - This Company gave out my personal and confidential information unlawfully. They contacted people who are not my friends, not my family and disclosed my confidential information to them. Not only that, they were harassing and threatening to me and the people they contacted in an attempt to get ahold of me.

A few months ago I received a phone call from PCR demanding my accountant's information. I refused to give it to the lady. About a week later I got a letter saying we owed for our first quarter state taxes. We know that our accountant who has been with us for over 20 years never forgets it. Then she sent a letter saying we owed about $2000 and her company wanted $600 for their services. According to my math $600 is not the 10.7% the state of New Jersey asks for. We are still fighting it.

First of all, why don't we use this company to collect the 20 Trillions dollars the US government owes its Citizens instead of having to be nickel and dimed to death by Big Government and credit scores? When is it ok for some **-like company to sit there and decide it is OK to force people to pay municipal fines and fees. How often is court documentation correct. How often are police officers right when pulling you over for some routine BS traffic stop. Well in this case this company got my car impounded 5 times since 2012 and the backwoods money hungry boss hog courthouse that gave me a traffic ticket way back when my wife was being rushed to the hospital for delivery, well, the judge dropped it, but then the clerk decided to deny it anyway, and then they sent me to collections 3 different times after clearing this fine up!

I got a ticket in Richland, GA (also a speed trap, but that's another story), and paid the ticket directly to the Municipal Court of Richland and cleared my account with my local DMV. Then I began to get notices from Pioneer that I owed $560 ($560!!) for the ticket (about $200 more than the original ticket, mind you). Because I know I've paid the ticket and my state DMV knows I've paid the ticket, I'm content to let them keep wasting the postage to send me notices. Just know if you get a ticket somewhere, pay directly to the court and avoid Pioneer at all costs.

I was supposed to be in a hardship forbearance with my Navient student loan. Then I received a confusing letter from some affiliate of Navient saying I defaulted. This was not the collection agency, but it said I had to contact the collection agency directly by April 5, 2016 to avoid more severe collection action. I contacted what they listed as the collection agency right away. It was not a collection agency, it was the same people who sent the letter. They said to contact the collection agency and I said there was none listed. They said my account had not been assigned one yet. I asked how can I contact them if there isn't one. I called several times to ask if a collection agency was assigned yet, they said no. I asked how can I contact them by the deadline if they haven't been assigned? They had no answer.

I made a agreement with them and have paid every month, but at tax time they start sending letters demanding payment in full. I am totally appalled by their business practices and the threats to the people who have the misfortune of having to deal with their **!!!

I said I would pass it along if I see this person. The caller was not rude but the verbiage was very specific and tactical in order to gain confirmation of me and my relation to the person and solicit a contact number.

I know collection agencies get a bad rap, especially with how annoying and overbearing their phone calls can be. However, I have been working to rehabilitate my student loans through Pioneer and it has been an amazing experience. I know the actual Rehabilitation program is thru the government, but Pioneer's staff has been very helpful and friendly. They are never rude, always have great attitudes, and if someone can't answer my question, they ALWAYS find someone else who can. They have made sure that I understand every aspect of the process and keep a great line of communication with me if I am missing paperwork or anything.

This company is sending me letters telling me that there is a case opened against me for $637.00 but refusing to give me any information about this, also telling me that they are going to have me locked up. Well guess what? This is a scam and this is being turned over to the FBI and the Better Business Bureau.

They called my cell phone number, looking for someone that is not even the owner of the phone number. Looking for a person at my address that doesn't even live at this address. How or why did they even get my number or call me??? This is the third time they have called me and I have said this is not the number for whomever they are looking for. Someone need to tell the company to update their records and stop contacting people that have nothing to do with them. Very annoying!!!

I paid my real estate taxes late and the city was OK with that. After all, many people don't pay in Philadelphia at all. Suddenly the calls began from these people. So I blocked them from my phone and their robot messages go to the Google Voice Spam. Here is a Google transcript of a typical Pioneer robocall: "Yeah. This is an important message from Pioneer credit recovery incorporated. Yeah, this is Mrs. **. Yeah law requires that we notify you that this is a debt collection company. Yeah. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Yeah, please call us back today at ** yeah 18 yeah when calling back. Your reference ID is ** yank you." Well, yank you too! You'll never get anything from me because I moved!

I am not the subject of their credit recovery. I am no relation to the subject of their credit recovery. I have never co-signed for anyone, including the subject of their credit recovery. ** called me at work and went on and on and on and on that she is looking for ME!? Um, no... Same phone number for 15+ years, carry it with me 24/7, I'm not hard to reach! All my bills are paid. I said "I'm at work, what do you want?" She again says she is looking for me. I said, "Okay, I'm at work and this is my cell phone... what do you want?" When she finally mentions the actual person she is looking for... I wasted too much of my time. And she has no manners or respect for my cell phone bill or my employer or my employability (and I haven't done a darn thing to her or Pioneer or any creditor). No way... hung up.

For the last 2 years I have been receiving phone calls and letters from Pioneer regarding 2 traffic tickets. One from 1996 and one from 2007. The letters threaten loss of license and jail time if I don't pay. The calls, when I answer, also threaten me with jail if I don't pay immediately. I ended up changing my phone number to avoid the daily dozen calls from them. I contacted the states attorney Pioneer claims I owe money to and was told there is no traffic ticket and if there was it wouldn't have been sent to collections and I wouldn't make checks payable to the States Attorney. I would have had to make it payable to the Circuit Clerks office. I was advised to ignore the calls and letters and that they have received numerous calls about this. 2 years later I am still receiving threatening letters but I've yet to be arrested or have my license revoked. Don't pay these people!!! It's a scam!!!
