Takhur Collection Agency fraud Niagara Falls,, New York
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.

I contacted the company who Takhur Group say I owe by doing a google search. I sent an email to them. They responded by saying I do not have a balance with their company and that no collection agencies should be contacting me. So now I have written documentation that this is a fraudulent claim. It is now time for me to go after this company. 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' If you have been scammed by this company, do not send them money. Do your research first.
