Very shady
I will admit to having deliquency loans with Sallie Mae. I started dealing with a company this month called Allied Collection Service but have been in contact with them since January for a easy way to pay my loan off, yes I have some complaints on them but my biggest confusion is with DCS. I got my first call (EVER) from them on Tuesday but when I answered the phone I didnt have reception and I asked to please call me back because I couldnt hear her. Never got a call back after so I decided Id call back (yesterday) and see what it was regarding. The girl I spoke to told me she didnt call me back cause I hung up on her and I clarified to her that was not the case. After she got over that she stated they were trying to collect a debt for a school I never even heard of. I asked her to double check that as I never went there and she placed me on hold like 3 times trying to figure out what school it was and where the loan came from. I assumed right away it was for Sallie Mae but she didnt know that and even after placing me on hold she didnt see Sallie Mae anywhere. She advised I had a deadline to make a payment of $55 by 06/21/11 if not my account will be placed to garnish 15% of anything. I advised to please try to understand me, that I had already started paying another company for the same loan. She gave me the loan locator number (800-433-3243) to see where all the loans have gone but that I needed to make the payment before that date. I dont understand how I can several Sallie Mae loans open for a month's worth of school and supposidly a loan of over $5000. How can I make a payment without having anything in writing from them or such short notice? Is this normal?

STOP THE FRAUD everyday

ATTORNEYS NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE
DCS AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ATTORNEYS ONLY HAVE LICENSES TO PRACTICE LAW IN THE SUPREME COURT AND APPELLATE COURTS OF THEIR LICENSING STATES, THEY CANNOT PRACTICE LAW IN ANY CITY, COUNTY, DISTRICT, OR FEDERAL COURT. ASK ANY ATTORNEY FOR THEIR LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION. THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO THOSE QUESTIONS---- THEY CAN'T WITHOUT EXPOSING THE FRAUD. SPREAD THE WORD!

jamie pena
i have been trying to settle a dispute i have with DCS for months. i was told the dispute process takes about 60-90 days and it has been 6 months. my wages were being garnished, but when the garnishment should have been paid off, DCS tacked on $3500 in fees and penalties. I sent paperwork to dispute the debt to JAMIE PENA at DCS Nov. 19, 2010. haven't heard from them since they got the dispute letter and stopped the garnishment. i think they are just hoping i will be grateful i am not getting garnished anymore and forget.

cruel and unusual punishment
at 8pm as i was begining to sit down for dinner the phone rang when asked to speak with me i said this is she . i was informed of a 14, ooo dollar debt that had apparently been in default and was told that in a couple of days they were going to attempt to garnish my check the female on the line made me feel like i was being robbed at gun point from her nasty tone to being very short with me the moment i asked to speak with her supervisor she told me that she was not going to allow me to do that as if i wasnt an adult and that she wouldnt waste her supervisors time with me then hung up on me . when i called back the second time she pretend to be someone different and when i asked if she was a supervisor sheMARLA WHITE hung up again . the third time i called i got a guy named BRENT KING supposedly he seemed to be a little better until i asked for the website for the company and he informed me that if i choose to make a complaint the would automatically forward the account for garnishment though i was attempting to defer it and that because i had an account in default i had no rights and they only had to collect a debt not be professional or courgile to me .

Diversified collection services are an abusive scam company
Diversified collection services are an abusive scam company. They contacted me about an overdue student loan. Jen Decker told me my paycheck would be garnished this week unless I joined a repayment option/opportunity. I wanted to pay the loan more than I wanted my check garnished so I gave them allot of personal contact information.
At the end of the call I was told they needed a $400 “deposit” to gain acceptance. The company that they say they got my loan from isn’t correct and doesn’t appear on google anywhere. When I asked for them to put the agreement in writing and I would sign and return it with a check they said they wouldn’t mail a letter (even after stating they have made several attempts to mail me one, lie) and needed my checking account.
This loan has been in default for years. My address and phone have not changed for 10 years. They said they got the loan a year ago but couldn’t contact me. When I spoke with the manager Hailey Perry she told me she would not give me the contact information of the company. They got the loan from and urged me to give her my checking account to be approved tonight or have my check garnished tomorrow.
I told her I would contact the attorney general and the loan originator and get back to her. She was not happy, was harassing and abusive over the phone demanding my credit card or checking acct. This is a nasty unethical business at best and should be avoided by all business and personal interests.

Non-existent Virginia Tax Debt
The first I heard from this outfit, they called my elderly mother late in the evening and just about scared her to death, by telling her that it was an emergency and they needed to get ahold of me immediately. She gave them my phone number, which isn't unlisted by the way, I have know idea how or why they would call her, I haven't lived at home in over 20 years. As soon as she hung up, she called me and told me someone named Trina was looking for me and it was an emergency. Well sure enough, about 15 minutes later "Trina" called me. After I realized it was nothing but a two-bit collection agency I chewed her up one side and down the other for scaring my mother, I finally determined she was attempting to collect a tax debt for the state of Virginia to the tune of about $2, 000. I was unaware of any tax debt as I always pay my taxes religously and thought the whole thing was a scam. So, I basically told Trina to go to h@ll and I was going to speak to the state of Virginia, she tried to convince me that I wasn't permitted to speak to the state because DCS was handling the account. "Yeah Riigght.." The next morning I called Virginia and was lucky enough to actually talk to a reasonable human being. They did confirm that they were showing an outstanding amount from 2005, but we quickly determined the issue was due to the fact that I had paid that amount to another state I was a part-time resident of that year, they had never received that information from the IRS and had taxed me on it in Virginia, a couple faxes later the mistake was corrected and I figured that was that. Well about a week later, my good "friend" Trina calls back, this time threatening to get a judgement against me to garnish my wages and levy my bank accounts, I politely told her the situation had been resolved through the state of Virginia. She claimed it didn't matter because DCS now "owned" the account. Well I told her to go right ahead and sue me then and hung up. Then next day I had Virginia fax me a letter saying no debt existed with them, and I sent DCS a FDCPA cease-communication letter, (a good one be found athttp://www.budhibbs.com/ceaseletter.htm), ordering them not to contact me anymore. Now I'm patiently waiting for them to sue me so I can make them look like idiots. Somehow I doubt it will happen though, they can sure run their mouths over the phone though.

Called neighbor, not cooperative
Jennifer Owen from Diversified Services called my neighbor and left a message for me to call her. When I called I asked why she was harassing my neighbor instead of calling me directly. She said it was because she did not have any other way of contacting me (in which she later contradicted herself). I asked her what this was in regards to and she told me it was for my student loan.
I asked several times why I haven't received any notices in the mail. She told me attempts had been made to contact me via phone and mail. I have NEVER received a phone call or mail correspondence from DCS. I asked why I had never received anything and she said they are not responsible for the postal service. HAHA How about you never sent anything?!
She started to give me the information of the company and when I told her I didn't have anything to write with she started being nasty and said she told me three times to get something to write with, which she never said! I asked her to repeat it and she said she would not repeat the information. She also said that she will hold the account until the 21st. It just doesn't make sense. If you want to get paid... then why be nasty about it?!

Abusive Practices & Violation of the Law
This company is calling neighbors on my block. This is in clear violation of the law. I had a neighbor, who I do not know, come to my house with a name and number of a person to call. Come to find out, it is a scavenger bill collector named Aaron Marks from Diversified Collection Services. I call this guy, and he asks me for my social security number, which I refuse to give him.
I called the FTC and they told me that this collector, and this company is in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Act. She said they will be hit with a huge fine. How can we stop companies like this from calling our neighbors?

TELEPHONE HARRASSMENT
After 4 years of paying off my student loans thru court d/t permanent disability, I am now being harrassed by this collection agency again. It seems my old bill went from one state to the other, and now the new collection department has different people calling me up on my husband's telephone demanding payments. They state they don't accept the discharges from the Los Angeles Courts, nor my previous physicians paperwork.
The state I took out the loan from, has agreed to discharge the unpaid portion of my loan d/t medical conditions. Yet the DCS agency is going to take all of my pay checks (which I don't have any), all of my vehicles, garnish my wages (don't have those either), and take my home from me.
Ms. Hawkins was last person to speak with me today from DCS from the telephone number listed above which belongs to Hal Leach, Jr., President of DCS out of Grants Pass, OR.
