Miriam, The physical address for TRS and TeleCheck is TRS Recovery Services, Inc. 5251 Westheimer Houston, TX. 77056 Tele. (713) 331-7600 BTW- Both companies use the same address. I don't know if Westheimer is a road, avenue, street, etc. This is the way the address shows up. You can also find out about their license numbers in Houston. I have a number but are not sure if this is the number you need. It's for the home office. Good luck, and put this company in the ground where it belongs.

Miriam, TRS/Telecheck IS a THIRD PARTY collector and IS bound by the FDCPA. Under this act, you have the right to send a CEASE COMMUNICATION request to them. Send this by certified mail, return reciept requested. Put the vertified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records. NEVER speak to ANY collector on the phone. It will NEVER do anything positive for you and in almost every case will make things worse. It is ILLEGAL for them to take ANY money out of your account without your SPECIFIC authorization. It is a FELONY to do so. It is LARCENY. However, most collectors are really stupid and will certainly try. You really should close that account IMMEDIATELY, and open a new one at a DIFFERENT bank. This is very important, as the same bank would tie the two accounts together for legal purposes such as garnishments, etc. Change your phone number to an unlisted one. This is really the easiest solution, and it can be done for FREE if you tell your phone company tou are getting harassing and/or threatening calls from and UNKNOWN caller. Forget the BBB, they are a useless and corrupt organization that is absolutely powerless to do anything. They have no legal authority to do anything. Go to FTC.gov and file a complaint online every time they call.
