Burt and Associates reviews and complaints
harassment
I work for a company in Washington that received a call from Burt & Asst trying to solicit MY business. The timing never worked out and Robert Fouse called me repeatedly trying to get me to give him accounts to collect for me. I told him repeatedly that we are a small company and I run the reports at the beginning of the month. Apparently when I told him...

DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES AND FRAUD: Burt and Associates (www.burtcollect.com), is an explicit copy of the NRS (https://www.nrs.us/privacy.php), or NRS & Associates aka National Recovery Systems (which is rum and operated by liars, cheats and thieves such as Mark Wilson). They hire ignorant non-industry people, feed them full of lies, which the ignorant help believes. They use circle-jerk rooms with loud music to create the energy and motivation needed to motivate idiots to do their scheming work. They tell the help this is the only (non-professional) system that works. For lying, cheating and stealing, they are probably right. You could receive a voice mail saying you must contact them IMMEDIATELY, before noon that same day to resolve a case. When you call them back, they will have some personal information on you and will claim that a company is filing a nonpayment claim against you.
They will feed you some info about yourself to seem legit, but then when you ask for any official document or proof they will say that they are not at liberty to provide that. One of my biggest tip offs was how belligerent the individual on the phone became when I asked for some sort of proof or documentation.

etthical and confidential laws broken/ rude and unprofessional
Burt and Associates Caller harrassed my employee in shouting rage. She spoke rudely, calling me names. She even gave my employee some of my financial informaton.
Upon the return call, when I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor was treated worse by him! I have never been spoken to so rudely in my life.

As Consumers lets get together and file a class action law suit against these idiots
My company was not the debtor, but an employee of our owed a debt and we were harassed daily by Burt and Associate demanding "employment demographics" such as date of hire and pay rate, which they said were "public information"--please!.
I have filed a complaint with the FTC for unfair debt collection practices and suggest anyone else with problems with these people do the same. These guys are slick and very forceful! They violated so many rules of the FDCPA in their conversations and emails with my company that it is amazing they are even still in business and have not been shut down by the FTC!
We are looking into legal action against them as well for the same libelous behavior. We were paying our debt as agreed with the orgininator. We asked for something in writing, and were told "were not here to be pen pals". They are calling 4 and 5 times a day, contacting neighboring businesses all over lies. Their assocoiates are rude, arrogant and can not produce a shred of evidence that will back up their claim when asked. We as business owners need get together file a class action and put these guys out of business.

these guys are ### - tried to make 3 monthly payments and they harassed my secretary saying it wasn't good enough. what a bunch of degenerates
THEY CALLED ABOUT A DEBT I MADE WITH WAMU BANK CHASE BOUGHT WAMU WHEN WENT UNDER AND LEFT WAMU WITH DEBT .DO I WAMU OR CHASE?
These guys are calling me almost daily at work. I hung up on them a couple of times. Then they left a message with my employer's HR Manager advising they had "important questions" about me and gave her a file number. HR manager gave me a "Head's Up" via email that they called and asked me what she should do. I told her not to call them back because calling me at work was a violation of Fair Debt Collection practices. If they want to contact me, they can do it in writing. She didn't return their call and I've saved the email as evidence of their violation. About a week later the calls started up again. Now I just pick up the receiver and place them on hold without talking to them. Hopefully they will get the hint that my employer is not going to help them in any way. Glad I found this thread. I'll be contacting Legal Justice.
Burt and Associates crossed the criminal line yesterday when they told me that if I didn't pay my son's debt they were going to have him arrested. We'll see who get arrested!
Kile is a complete idiot. He is even harassing my lawyer. Little do they know they have harassed the wrong lawyer. Do not answer their calls, and do not email them. A fun little game I played yesterday was answering and then hanging up. He called back a total of 13 times. Some of us have good reason for fighting disputed debt. Good luck and DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE!
Be educated! The FDCPA nor FTC can do anything. They only can regulate consumer debt. Do not answer the phone calls from Burt and Associates. Do ask for validity of debt, including original application, bills, etc. Do so by certified mail. Do not engage in conversation, nor disclose any information to them. Do hire an Attorney. There are some of us out there that actually dispute the debt for good reasons. A reputable company will let you know how they will proceed and follow through, not make threats and harass. Ignore the hostile person sitting behind the desk, making phone call after phone call after phone call after phone call getting ignored, and they won't have a job.
all these complaints and still making calls,
must mean something. stop crying cause you can not pay your
bills properly. you buy something, normal course tells us we have to pay.
fdcpa [censor]s is consumer. you speak so highly educated but yet dont read laws you quote.
fdcpa has no bearing on commercial debt. idiocy like this is high you people are debotrs.
lack of common sence, detail, and most of all, lack of willingness to listen.
show interest to pay the bill and actually pay, see how the exper. changes.
rember, we all know half of these rants are more ficticious than your lame disputes.

lets legally stop these illegal Debt Collection Practices
Burt & Associates are using unlaw tactics to collect debt, by harrasing, intimidating, talking to neighbors, employees, threating to sue, etc.. look what happened to another debt collection agency who did the same thing. as a consumer " you have rights" don't fall for their unprofessional acts, they are just a bunch of failed telemarketers who have nothing else to do but harras hard working people like you so they can collect their portion of your hard earned money. If you choose to pay the debt pay it directly to the person or company you owe and for the amount of the orginal debt. any thing you pay over the original debt is their fee. let them go get on government welfare and food stamps were they belong.
According to the FTC’s complaint, filed by the Department of Justice on the FTC’s behalf, the defendants participated in, or controlled, the actions of debt collectors whose unlawful practices included false or deceptive threats of garnishment, arrest, and legal action; improper calls to consumers; frequent, harassing, threatening, and abusive calls; and unfair and unauthorized withdrawals from consumers’ bank accounts. The complaint also alleged that the defendants failed to adequately investigate consumer complaints or discipline collectors, and collectors who were terminated for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) often were rehired within a few months.
In 2008, Academy Collection Service, Inc. and its owner, Keith Dickstein, paid $2.25 million to settle FTC charges that Academy collectors violated the FTC Act and the FDCPA while collecting debts, and that Dickstein failed to stop the violations. The settlement order announced today, negotiated by DOJ and the FTC, imposed civil penalties of $375, 000 and $300, 000, respectively, on Albert S. Bastian and Edward Hurt, who oversaw Academy’s Las Vegas collection center. The judgments were suspended upon payment of $7, 500 each, based on their ability to pay. The full judgments will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition.
