Diversifed Collection Services ripoff: This company sends out letters to anyone with the name of the person they are seeking to collect from. They do not care if you are the right person. They tell you on the phone when you call that if you are the right person then they have suceeded. But if you are not the right person they send you a letter telling you that you owe thousands of dollars to firm you never heard of. Livermore California
This company sent me a letter stating I owed them in excess of $7,000.and that they were going to "use any authorized approved means available to secure payment." I called them and told them I did not know what this was about and who the bank was that the claim was for. They said they send out letter to every person with my name trying to find the right person. They asked me if I was born in a specific year and I said no and they said I was not the person they are seeking. I told them it was very upsetting to receive a letter saying you owed all this money. They basically said to bad this is how they locate people to get them to pay. I asked for a letter saying this was not me and they were mistaken and they said they would not do so. They would remove me from their database is all they would do. This practice of upsetting innocent people to locate a person that didn't pay their bill is very nasty.

I hope you still have that letter. Copy it and send it to the FTC and Attorney General's offices in CA and NH. Neat scam, isn't it? How many people who got that letter flipped out because they weren't sure what it was and made a payment? Lots of easy money in one little fishing expedition. Make sure they get busted.
