sunrise-capital-management sunrise family of companies Demanding Payment of Other Party's Debt Farmingdale, New York
I'm posting this complaint on behalf of my mother and grandmother in hopes the illiterates at Sunrise Family of Companies will see this.
Several months ago my retired mother and grandmother, who is 89, began recieving calling calls from this company looking for a different individual who owed money to Publishers Clearing House. They have requested time and time again to have their phone number removed from this bottom feeder companies auto-dialer with no luck. They have explained they are NOT the party this company is looking for and still get calls every day mon-sat.
Regularly it's a man claiming his name is "John" with a very thick middle eastern accent demanding payment and making the usual threats. "We'll put a lein on your home or car, garnish pensions or freeze your bank accounts." And the ]ever popular "If you want me to stop calling pay the bill." He has refused to disclose the companies name or an extension where he can be reached, instead he hangs up when this info is requested. He has disclosed the actual debtors name, address and other personal information. Well guess what?
I finally got the companies information! Karmetic retribution is swiftly on it's way.
What I can't understand is how he can have all of the info on this woman and continue to call a phone number listed under a different name and address, or why the supervisors continue to allow it? He's gone so far as to tell my mother he doesn't care if he has the right person, he has A person with the same FIRST name and thats enough for him to continue calling.
And now the fun begins all over again. Filing with the FTC, BBb, Atty Gen. offices for WA and NY... If the calls continue, ALL information will be turned over to the media and a lawyer will be retained.
Several years ago I had this SAME experience with NCO financial, it took me TWO years to finally get that office of criminals to stop calling me. And what did they do? They sold the debt to ANOTHER company and supplied MY phone number to them and I got to pay for the number to be changed.

FTC has gotten the Sunrise Collections to stop calling my elderly mother and grandmother. Apparently they kicked the debt back to Publishers Clearing House, who has already called my mother twice today looking for Carol Haas.
After my mother threatened a lawsuit for harassment she was informed by PCH billing agent "You can't sue us, all we want is our money and we have the legal right to collect it. We have the legal right to call until we collect our payment and theres nothing you can do about our calls.". This woman refused to give even a first name or telephone number and when asked to give the call over to a supervisor she hung up. The phone number on the caller ID is 360-859-0251. This number does not accept incoming calls.
The person responisble for this debt is Carol Haas of Vancouver, WA. age 45 - 49. I know this is the right individual, the address provided to us from Sunrise Collectiosn matches. If I was able to find Carol Haas's phone number through the dexonline white pages why can't they?
If PCH reads this I strongly suggest they stop harassing my family, I have already spoken to a lawyer who is waiting for you and your collection agency to break the cease and desist letter which have been sent certified with return reciept this morning. Your calls are being recorded, the voice mails are being saved for an impending law suit against PCH and Sunrise Family of Companies collection office. We are tired of being hounded to pay debts that ARE NOT OURS. IT IS harrassment and IT IS someting we can take legal action for.
