whatever you do do not pay Northland Group Inc.!!!
my mom asked me to help her pay them, and not that i know anything, but i'd never heard of Northland Group Inc. I googled them and all that came up was scam scam scam ! They'll either call and get you to pay with a credit card asap or mail you a letter and getyou on their website to pay and use your social and everything ! i saved my mom from losing all her money ! also, on there is this fake ass company they say is collecting . DONT PAY THEM! CALL THE COMPANY YOU OWE OR CALL THE POLICE !
[includes stupid settling amount, orignal account number and all other shit.]

Since about 3 years, I get each year one or two letters from Northland Group Inc. about some accounts which have beeing assignet to Northland Group INC. for collection. I always returned
and answered those letters in the past. But it is getting old and I know like the last assigned account from " Capitol One Bank" where I had an account years ago. I know for a fact that I closed that account with $0, 00 on it and was glad to let go on that. Well they must find out somehow, that I had a account there and made me a settlement offer. I wrote them back to send me the account
information and account statements I would like to see. No answer there. That was about 6 month ago, now they came with a "Target" account which I also had years ago and want to settle?
What? I don`t care if they wride me letters once a year or not, but I am not a American Citizen and
would like to know if you not answer, if you silently accept the balance to pay? That`s why I always answered them and told them that I do not know anything about it.
I just would like them to collect from people who owe someone. I`m just tired of this hole thing
and hope they will be adviced or whatever nessecary to fix this problem. At the end
I`m on permanent disability with no income at all. Even if I would owe, howe you want to grep
a nacked man in his pocket? This are hard times for all of us and maybe they should dtick with the real deal!

I was reading your complaints and read one submitted on Mar 08 this year from Lisa. She stated: Now, 2 years later, I get a bill stating to the effect that "in view of the tax season, our client is willing to reduce your balance by offering you a settlement." I have received one almost exactly like hers. I paid in full and closed out a First Premier SD $350 pre- paid credit card account almost 8 years ago. About two months later, they sent me a bill for "fees" totalling $167. I refused to pay these fees because I had paid the card off. So they sold my account to Arrow Financial who continued up until the end of last year to call, write and threaten me to collect the $167. Now Arrow has apparently sold the debt to Northland Group Inc. Now, this bill is over eight years and I do not feel it is a legitimate debt. I have answered their letter online, and told them I am not obligated to pay this bill and don't intend to. i feel this is a fraudulent practice to sell a debt and keep trying to collect and report it well after the amount of time the debt should be carried by creditors

I received this letter: Assest Acceptance Lic, the creditor of your account has assigned the above referenced account to Northland Group, Inc. for collection. ..Unless you notify this office within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion thereof, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of judgment... I have the copy of the settlement which I paid 40-50 cents of the dollar. I had better not find them on my credit report or I am going as high as I can to file a civil suit against these con-artists. The madness they have caused me, the harassment and fear they tried to instill in me has propelled me into writing to the BBB and anyone who will listen.

Their collection letter claims they are working on behalf of SBC. I have never had any service at my home by SBC. In fact, SBC doesn't offer service in this area. I have never lived in an area where SBC had service they could offer. I get numerous calls from collection companies that are just fishing out Mexican names - and they insist that I know these people, you see, because if a Mexican shares a name with whomever they are looking for, then they must be related. I'm tired of being racially profiled, harassed due to my race, threaten and insulted.

SBC has no information on any account using my name. So if SBC has never done business with my address, then why does Northland Group Inc. have the right to mass mail people that share a last name and attempt to turn a false claim into the burden of the receiver to refute?

I intend to send them a letter saying if they do not produce a valid signed contract from SBC in 30 days, then I will assume the debt they are collecting is a fraudulent attempt and they will be reported to the Attorney General in their district.
