IC Systems complaint
I have received multiple calls from the idiots at IC SYstems. The calls are for a relative who does not live here, and I have told the callers that - and to cease calling by number. The latest clown said unless I gave him the number of the relative he was going to keep calling me. I informed him that was illegal and I would report his threat. I have done so. I let him know of the (very) low opinion I held of his type.

I will simply lift the receiver and hang up on any further calls until I get a machine hooked up to record the conversation - at which time I will take one last call to gather evidence for my complaint.

There are many attorneys who LOVE going after collection agencies because the agencies almost always lose.... in fact, in my case with a couple of illegal calls, the agency paid my debt plus $10,000... they didn't even fight it, because they can't. The second time it happened with another one I sued and they didn't even show up in court! I then put THEM on collections for debt plus $10,000 and when they wouldn't pay, I levied their bank account and got it anyway.... turnabout is fair play... and they never learn!

The FTC does not regulate debt collections. i suggest you get an education.

What should you do if a debt collector is intimidating or harassing you?  

 

 

 

 

 

(1) Find out if the collector is violating the FDCPA or your state's laws. If so, send the collector a certified letter, return receipt requested, telling them that you believe he is in violation of the FDCPA or your state's laws; and, if you want  

 

(2) Tell the debt collector you want him to stop phoning you at home and at work.  

 

(3) You can file a complaint online at www.ftc.gov. The FTC is the body in charge of regulating debt collection agencies. They will not handle your case personally, but you should report the agency anyway, since they will sanction the agency if it receives enough complaints from consumers.  

 

(4) Report the activity to your State Attorney General's office. They will investigate the matter.  

 

(5) You can also gather evidence by recording phone conversations with the debt collection agency. If you can prove the debt collector used illegal tactics, you can sue for damages under the FDCPA.  

 

 

 

38 states DO NOT Require you to let the debt collector know that they are being recorded. AND if they say that "In the state of XYZ we CAN call you at home just not at work". WELL Under FEDERAL LAW they are considered to be a 3rd party collector so YOU CAN ask them to stop calling you at home. The only time that does'nt apply is if they are the ORIGINAL creditor.
