General Revenue - Phone abuse

Abuse by phone, upon verbal request not to contact me by phone, GRC associate stated he'd call as often as he wanted and keep calling.

Spoke with Michael Schneider @ [protected] sent fax to: [protected], notifying them not to call or contact me unless through the mail.

Mr. Schneider was kind and stated he'd move my phone number to the no call list.

If it wasn't you then I'm sure they were apologetic. Thats why they go thru the verification process of DOB & the last 4 of the SSN. If you didn't
verify or wouldn't verify it was you they have every right to call. Until you tell them that is not me and thats not my last 4 of my ssn#.
Learn FDCPA laws before you spew you fkng Jew punk [censored] fkng Lawyer [censor] of the fkng earth mouth you baggy eyed denture wearing Zionist Jew scumbagg fkng Lawyer [censor]. The Fedl' Government allows them to skip trace people via whatever means is approved. If its not you then you tell them so. If it is you and you don't verify, they will continue to call until you have verified its not you. I hope you go to hell for becoming a devil worshiping Jew Zionist NWO Pig fkng lawyer. The laws of this land were written by scumbagg rich and it talks in circles to benefit the well-to-do in this world. God know who you lowlife mthr fkrs are, and you will pay with your eternal soul. BUrn you fkng Zionist Jew pig skank lawyer [censor]. Your real holocaust is coming this time you lowlifes of the earth. I wan't to be on the match lighting squad that burns you mtha fkrs for real this time. Fkng holocaust was a big fat propaganda [censor] lie. Hitler himself was a Jew who changed his name, All od this was done to create Jew sympathy. I have no sympathy for you lowlifes. You are the reason the world is in the shape its in with your money and brow beating - Jewing people out of their hard earned money. A richman will not enter the Kingdom of heaven, show me a rich person and I show you a fkng Jew skanky [censored] crook who fk'd or screwed someone in a shadydeal down the line in his or her career. For that you will pay pay pay... The meek shall inherit the earth not you stinky rich Illuminati, NWO, Zionist Jew pig mthr fkrs.

In response to that last worthless post. I do not owe student loans however was called by this company at work. I was told that I had racked up 12 grand in loans from University of North Dakota. I then had to provide them with personal information to prove that I was not the person that they were looking for. This is complete [censor]. Now I have to wonder which family member they called and now thinks that I have a debt collection agency after me. Their research practices for people that actually owe them money is one thing but I DO NOT! They can just pull [censor]ing names out of a hat and harass them at work...and putting my number on a no call list...[censor] THAT! Take my name and personal information from your computer all together! Learn how to do your [censor]ing research! When I returned their phone call the first time they said the person that owed the money had the same birthdate as me and so I called them back to see if they were legit and now they say they are looking for someone with the same name but a different birthdate. Do they even [censor]ing know...Well thank you General Revenue Corporation for bothering someone at work who doesn't even owe you money...I am innocent and the [censor] will not even remove my phone number from their system. [censor] YOU GRC [censor] YOU!

General Revenue - Harassment / malpractice

Want to get them back?!

The companies real name is GRC, or General Revenue Corp. They are owned by Sallie Mae and do all of their collections for the company. GRC's Info is below, along with 3 easy steps on how to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for Illegal Practices.

The following link takes you to a site which outlines what collection agencies are and are not allowed to do (like calling you outside of normal business hours at work, or whenever you specifically say it is inconvenient for you) - (http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/rules/collection-calls-5.html). They were recently sued for malpractice and if you read the link above you were probably a victim of malpractice, like myself. They are relentless!

Or call Michael Schneider of GRC...He responded to the BBB letter submitted below saying that their employees are "thoroughly trained" and my statements of harassment were unfounded...
His number is: [protected].

If Mr Schneider doesn't believe my claims, perhaps a few hundred calls will convince him of his "thoroughly trained" employees illegal practices.

PLEASE CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ABOUT THIS COMPANY.

Easy step to follow:

1. Go to Better Business Bureau Website:
https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/GetStarted.aspx

2. Use the Info above for GRC City/State/Web info to file against Sallie Mae/GRC

3. File a complaint addressing your issue, similar to the one I filed, below.

BBB Representative,

I have mentioned several times to both to GRC (General Revenue) and Sallie Mae Representatives that it is both inconvenient and inappropriate when GRC (calling on behalf of Sallie Mae Collections) is calling me any earlier than 8am Pacific Standard time or on the weekends.

This morning (Sunday) as well as yesterday, I received several calls from phone number [protected] (GRC) without any voice message or contact information. All were received before 8am and another was received as early as 6:15am on Sunday morning! While at work I also received a phone message from a family member saying that GRC had contacted them. GRC not only disclosed the dollar amount that I owed, but that I was delinquent and they inferred she would be responsible if they were unable to get a hold of me. Obviously, this family member had no idea what the situation was and became frantically worried about me. She had no idea (nor had I at this point because no one had left a voice mail) that my account was only 10 days overdue and not one late fee had even been assessed yet! This family member is in no way related to these loans and was randomly called.

All of my information listed for Sallie Mae is both current and valid. I believe what GRC did by contacting someone about my debt and disclosing my financial information is bordering, if not blatantly illegal.

It is NEVER appropriate for any collections company to call my family member/neighbors/co-workers etc about my financial issues, nor do these have any influence in the situation. There would be no reason to contact them.

I have several Student loans through Sallie Mae and I have never made a payment more than 30 days past due.

I understand my rights and I have notified both Sallie Mae and GRC that I have reported them for poor business practices. If their employees do not know my rights they should have them review the following link:

http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/rules/collection-calls-5.html

Particularly Section 805(a): Collection calls to consumers. If it happens again, you may expect a call from my attorney.

I have received multiple rude calls from these idiots attempting to collect a debt from someone I've never even heard of. I don't recognize the name. I've told them repeatedly I don't know this person and to please remove my phone number from the account in question. They get rude and snyde each time, calling me by this person's name and telling me that if I just pay the bill they'll go away. I am not this person, it's not my bill, and I will not be paying it. How do I get these ###s to remove my number and leave me be?

What CTU- Online in my case was fraud. I never attended any class online, never had a teacher or subject. I never seen a contract, nothing. What CTU did was call me get all my info full name, social, and address and then when i quested them as to what the costs where they gave no answer, they made untrue statements and that is fraud no contract is valid when you have no idea as to what your siging up for . They just kept calling and then when i did not cooperate they sent me a 713.00 bill. Lets speed up now. we are 3 years later, that bogus bill went to 3 collection companies and was rejected . They have had the BBB on their ### and now have sold that bogus debt to another college that I have had no contact with . I only know because the last collection co said so. They refused to give the new school / paper mill/ address & phone to me . At no time was this false debt valadated. It was all fraud, CTU knew they could not fit me in a class and they never gave any dollar amount . They just wanted to send a bill of 700 to as many people as they can weather or not if they could offer a service. It's called Fraud. Duress
When someone unlawfully pressures you to make a contract against your will, it's called duress. A contract made under duress isn't enforceable. An example would be a person holding a gun to your head to get you to sign a contract.

Fraud and Misrepresentation
Fraud and misrepresentation are false statements used to get you to make a contract. They must relate to a present or past important fact that you rely on. A fraud is a deliberate misstatement of a fact. An example would be if someone sold you a table they said was an antique, knowing it to be a reproduction. A misrepresentation can be an innocent misstatement.

If you're a victim of fraud or a misrepresentation, you can cancel the contract. A defrauded party can sue the wrongdoer for damages too. A victim of fraud may also have other remedies under the law of consumer fraud

I just moved into a new apartment and I made the mistake of getting a landline. I just receieved a phone call from General Reveue Corp asking me if I knew my neighbor. I don't any of my neighbors. What is unnerving is the fact that she addressed me by name. When I asked her what this was regarding, she informed me it was to collect a debt. I asked her how she got my information. She hung up on me. I called the number back and this time got a different person. When I asked him for the companies contact information he told me he didn't know it. He informed me that the company was well within their rights to contact the neighbors of an individual in order to collect the debt. I don't think this is true so I reported it to the BBB. Not sure how far this will go, but it is a start.

You obviously understood what I was saying Ms. Webster or you wouldn't have replied. Nevertheless, you should be proud that folks like me exist. Filtering out the [censor] in this world is a necessity for the average joe to get by in life, since we don't have deep pockets like you to pay for the rest of the worlds debt. Your [censor]ing high and mighty attitude has blinded you to the fact that 30% is added to all cost of everything because of theft and no paying irresponsible mother [censor]ers. I'm tired of paying for others to be [censor]ing dead beats, if you don't understand that, OH well sista go burn you stack of $100 bills in your fire place. You Highfalutin over educated, stupid blind to reality in the world, snippity [censor] Hag. Have a nice Miss Thang !

Hey, Thomas300, you can hardly speak the english language. Before you criticize people, why don't you make sure that they will understand what the [censor] you're saying. You have no comprehension of grammar, and your endless complaints lose any and all credibility when the person reading it can hardly understand what the hell you're saying. I get that you hate doctors, lawyers, and anyone who has pursued a secondary education, but maybe you should spend less time criticizing people who are trying to do things with their lives, and more time learning to speak and write the language of the country you live in. Here's one free grammar tip: highfalutin is one word, not two. If you can't use a word correctly, don't use it at all. If we're lucky, no one will ever hear your [censored] ramblings ever again. I'm embarrased to live in the same country with people like you, and you should get a [censor]ing life.
Sincerely,
Merriam Webster

You stupid college snot nosed little whip dick know all . Your School hired GRC, to forward paperwork to you to let you know something is going on with your account and the letter tells you why they are trying to reach you. But since you [censor]ing know it all, ignore it. Let your penalties and interest pile up into a massive debt. The schools do make mistakes at times when people are in default or in school deferment, it just happens, if you are to the good, it is the consumers responsibility to provide the proof. that's just the way it is. If you changed schools or had a lapse in attending and didn't file your deferment paperwork your loan will fall into the defaulted category and turned over to a collection agency such as GRC. Wether you are due in 2014 for you payments or not, you failed to file some type of paperwork, or else why would they contact you. Ah Duhhhhhhhhhhh
DO THE RIGHT THING AND CALL THEM AND THEY WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT YOU FAILED TO DO, OR provide them with proof of your
in-school deferment status, and you will be removed from the mailing and the calls on your account. Don't be so [censor]ing arrogant that you don't respond. It will cost you dearly in the end. TRUST ME, I forgot
to do this on one of my loans and it cost me 5% interest on the loan and
23.75% in collection fees. I didn't give them a change of address, so they had no idea how to reach me, so it when to a collections agency to
try and locate me and establish contact, they found me. It's easy to miss
one little piece of paperwork not getting filed, at the time I had 14 loans
out, all my others were in good standing, so I had to bite the bullet and pay on this on since I didn't follow the instructions on that loan, I flat out missed it. But they were very easy to work with me an affordable
payment plan to fit my budget. They were the most professional folks
I had ever dealt with in a adverse situation. Like I said sine you know it all go ahead and avoid the contact or the proof of ' YOUR RIGHT", AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. If you are right and the school is wrong, so be it.

BUT WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG... PREPARE YOUR POCKETS
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING... Do the right thing, make the contact
and clear it up quickly.

I just filed a complaint with the FCC for mail fraud committed by GRC. I received a letter stating my student loans were being reported as "severely past due" by the lenders of my student loans! Funny, my loans have been in in-school deferments for months and, therefore, no payment is due until 2014. Why would they send some phony letter trying to scare those of us who pay our bills on time? How odd is that?! I was told that they just want to let me know that in the event that I ever have problems paying my loans, that they are there to help. In the meantime, the girl puts me on hold to contact both of my lenders to confirm that my loans are in good standing. I even had to verify myself to DLS while the GRC rep was on the line, giving my SSN, address, and DOB. I should have declined the verification process and ended this farce once and for all.

If you are in good standing with your lender and have received this misleading bogus collection letter, be sure to report GRC to the FCC and BBB!
