Check Processing Bureau ripoff unable to provide documents to prove debt New York New York
My husband has recently received a letter from this company. We called them and they could not give us any information except for the amount, the company the check was supposedly written to and the date. When we asked them for the bank the check was written from the replied we don't have that information. When we asked what address they had on the check, they didn't have that information either. They kept telling us that they got the collection case from a check insurance company which pays the check and then allows them to collect for them. We asked them for a copy of the check they said when we go to court. We spoke to the supervisior Mr. Wheeler and told him that we wouldn't mind paying this if we were sure it was ours.
We have found that there is another guy with my husbands name in our state and he also works on the same base as my husband. We told Mr. Wheeler this and then he told us to just send him a letter from our bank that said we never wrote that check number. Me being worried that this is a scam did not do that. Now we got another letter. I spoke to a Mr. Sutton, I asked him for the name of the attorney who is supposedly reviewing this debt, he could not give me that information either. I told him i need a phone number and address so that my attorney can contact them and then he told me to call his supervisor, the same mr. wheeler we spoke to before. well all i got was his voicemail. then my husband called mr. sutton back and he told my husband that we have to call tomorrow because mr. wheeler is in court, this was after 5:30.
I believe that I as a consumer have a right to proof of this "debt". I know that if i request a copy of a statement from my utility company's to prove i owe something they give it to me, so why is this different? I have done some research and i have a strong feeling that this company is somehow connected with a guy named Barry Sussman, i have read that this guy and a few others have been sued for the same things. I have not been able to find anything through the internet or bbb on this company nor the company the check was supposedly written. i called our local bbb and nothing. anyone else had this issue with this company?
