I received a call just now from the Northland Group and they asked to speak with my husband who is not available. Before I could even ask who was calling and if I could take a message they hung up on me. I decided to call back the number on the caller ID. When the representative came on the line I explained that someone had just called my house looking for my husband and then hung up when I told them he wasn't here. I asked who they were and what it was in reference to and was told very rudely that it was personal business for my husband and none of my business!! When he told me to just have my husband call them back I told him that wouldn't be possible as my husband was not in the country at the moment, he then asked me where he was and when he was coming back, and when I told him that I wasn't sure he started yelling before I could say another word that how could I not know where he is and when he was coming back, he never was giving me the chance to tell him that my mother-in-law was very ill in Bermuda and that he had to take a leave of absence to go and be with her!! He was so rude and disrespectful and just kept yelling that I should just have him call them back. This just got me so aggrevated because he wouldn't even give me the slightest idea what this call was for. I even tried saying that if it was in reference to some debt that he should tell me at least what company the debt was with so when I spoke to my husband I could pass on the message to him and perhaps I would be able to take care of it for him in his absence. But no...he just kept yelling telling me to have my husband call them and I told him no way was I going to have my husband call them from Bermuda while he is attending to his mother. I then proceeded to tell him as a matter of fact don't bother calling back the house again...if they have something to say put it in writing!! But he continued on like a child telling me they would just keep on calling and calling. What kind of company trains their employees to act like ignorant, beligerent children. How can they possibly think that anyone would consider doing any kind of business with them and send them any money at all. From some of the other complaints I've read they buy old debts and try to collect on them after adding their own fees...well I've got news for them we've only been in the country for 10 years and the only credit card we ever had was a secured credit card which we had opened to build up our credit so we could buy our home and after we closed on our house we closed the account and got back the $500 we opened it with!! I guess the next time they call it will be me hanging up on them instead!

I recently received a letter from this company claiming that I owed JC Penney money. I haven't had this account in many years and said that I owed themn 1730.30. This account was closed at least six years ago.

I WAS SENT A LETTER SAYING I OWED 1, 378.56 ON A CREDIT CARD FROM CAPITAL ONE, AND I'VE NEVER HAD A CREDIT CARD.

I pay for the calls on my cell phone and they do not have the right to call me repeatedly.

Sent a collection letter claiming that I owed money for an outstanding debt that was paid off over ten years ago. This is the second attempt by a fraudulent collection agency to collect monies on a line of credit opened with Zales over ten years ago that went to collections but was paid off. There is no record of it on my credit record yet they still try to harass people into paying out money for fear that it will affect their credit score. Don't give these fraudsters your money you are being scammed.
