Complaint Review: Takhur Collection Agency

These people first contact edme in January 2010 a my job. I almost got fired over these personal calls.  I must admit that I was naive and fell for their scam because they would have kept calling and I was afraid to lose my job.  They said I owed them $115 for some books I purchased. I asked them to provide me with a letter verifying that  I owe this debt because I did not know if they were legitimate.  I was told that they could not send me the letter  because they had already sent it to me in the mail.  I never received a  letter from them.  I told them that I filed bankruptcy the year before and all of my debts had been included.  The gentleman I first talked to told me that it was not covered since they had not received any funds from the CH13 order. 

I did remember ordering something about three years prior but I always paid the balance each time I purchased something.  I talked to a few different people before one gentleman told me to go to www.takhurgroup.com to see the letter and I did. Without calling my lawyer first, I paid one payment online, two at the Bank of America acct#********6304.  The last time I sent a money order for the remaining balance.  The first three times, I called them to verify that I had made payment.  I did not do that with the money order.  My intention was to wait a week until they received it before contacting them.  Then I forgot.  That was six months ago.  After six months, who would think to keep a receipt.  Well they called me yesterday asking me to pay $65 more because they had received only two payments.    The lady, Nicole left a message asking me to be an adult and contact them.  That was degrading.  I called them.  She was rude and angry. 

I felt like she was always trying to catch me in a lie until she wasn't listening to anything I said.  She hung up on me.  I called her back and she said we were disconnected.  She hung up on me to additonal times.  The fourth time I called, I asked to speak to her manager.   When he, Dwight, came to the phone I asked to speak to his boss.  He said there is no other boss but him.  He was rude and was not willing to listen to anything I had to say.  I asked him  if he was the owner of the company and he said no.  Well he hung up on me.  I called Niocle back and said your boss hung up on me and she said he sure did.  I asked to speak to him again.  I told him that the company was creating fraud asking me to pay them an additional $65.  I paid it but I refused to pay it again especially since I filed bankruptcy.  He took my lawyers name and number.  Today I contacted my lawyer and reported them.  People I was dumb. Do not let these people manipulate and intimidate you as I did.
