Sent me a collection saying I owed Direct TV $157.11 but would settle for half - $78.56. They also had space to pay with credit card, etc.

I have never done business with Direct TV. Just another scam to get money and credit card information. They need to be stopped. This company is ATERSO01.

They only had a post office box and city on their return address which was P.O.

Box 1022 - Wixom MI 48393-****. They indicated that their client which was Direct TV was willing to settle for half of the money and I could send it to them and pay with credit card.

Monetary Loss: $157.

Location: Greenville, South Carolina

This is in my mailbox today.. I'll post where it's from later on.

Guest

Our adult daughter got a bill that came to our home saying she had Comcast and owed them just under $1,000. We've never had anything but AT&T and DirecTV for over 20 years.

They offered to settle for over $600.

Again, no real address, just a P.O. Box and when I did a search, I found a big lawsuit against this company.

Guest

It could be a scam, it could be real or someone stole your identity.Take the time to write a letter rather come here with the other bleating sheep.It could save you a lot of time after they decide to sue you.Stop the drama in its track and ignore those who tell you to do nothing.I'm betting they have low credit scores and are vets at debt avoidance.Send the registered letter today...

I just got a letter from Budget saying that I owe them over $400 for rental car damage. I called Budget customer service, not the number on the invoice, and they said that there was no record of damage.

I will call customer service again tomorrow, but I am concerned that somehow someone has stollen my personal information. I rented from Budget and the dates on the invoice coincide with my rental.

Just got a bogus debt collection letter for an unpaid toll from SRTA "State Road & Tollway Authority" of Georgia. It was VERY official.

It had a photo of my license plate, an exact time and date I supposedly did not pay my toll. Fortunately I live in SC and was not in Georgia at that time, but WOW. The only way I found out was by going to the actual SRTA website where the Peach Pass is, and type in my violation number & discovered there was no such violation. It asked for payments via charge card via online website or phone number or you could mail in a check or money order.

WHY ARE THESE POST OFFICE BOXES not investigated??? This PO Box 1022 Wixom, MI 48393 has been scamming for years based on the comments on this website

I believe there is a SCAM underway involving this agency, and it may be an internal job - or they've been hacked. I live out of state and received a similar notice regarding a toll violation from 2014(!) from the State Road & Tollway Authority of Georgia (but I've only been to the Atlanta airport during layovers and never left the delta terminal, and I have proof I was at work on the date listed) for a personalized license plate that I ATTEMPTED to get in my state many years ago, however, my request was denied because the phrase I wanted could be mis-interpreted to mean something inappropriate.

So the plate was NOT issued to me! On mypeachpass. com the violation doesn't come up when I put in the violation number listed on the letter BUT when I connect through that page to the payment page (now via peachpass .com rather than mypeachpass .com) the violation does come up. The letter has two addresses on it, one of which is the same P.O.

box that was listed on your letter in Wixom, Michigan.

My letter does not have a picture included of the plate/car. The letter is nearly an exact replica of the sample one on the peachpass .com site but the logo at the top is on the right instead of the left and the header at the top is fuzzy which is suspect IMO for alteration. Also, some sentences are missing or have been altered.

Has anyone else received a similar letter?!?

I REFUSE to pay this. The only part I don't understand is why the legit Peach Pass website would link to a fraudulent site; this is why I think it may be an internal job.

Why does the violation not come up on one site but does on the other site it's linked to? Either someone bought the site name out from under this agency because they accidentally let their domain name renewal lapse and forgot to update/correct the links on their site or something very, very suspicious is going on internally!

Received a letter, that claims from AVIS, regarding a claim from last year. That we owed a bill $221.57 for damage.

So unsure, until I searched for telephone# given on statement. And we use AVIS but this just didn't seem right, not giving any information to anyone--definite SCAM

Did you try to report it to AVIS? Did you know I got the same letter with correct Rental agreement number and everything so who ever did this stole Avis information and your information as well.

Guest

I had the same letter , said I own Sprint but never did business with them .

Guest

Same...caller said they are with Avis company and want to discuss damage?......this message was as a voice mail. And left a different 800 number to call than from which they called...SCAM.....I never rented a car from them...I have not rented a car in last six plus years

Guest

I also have received two letters, one with Eden MN and one with Wixom MI address, Budget letterhead. The dollar amounts owed for damage are different on each one.

When I called after the first letter the gentleman actually forwarded through email, photos of a car being repaired and the repair bill, but never verification of my rental agreement. So glad to have found this website and know that this is a scam.

Guest

BEWARE!!!

I just received a notice supposedly from Budget Rent a Car with a claim for "damages" - $612, same phone number 1-80*-***-****.

This is obviously a bogus letter.

Lets have some fun too!

Guest

10/1/14...Just received a letter from the same location on AVIS letterhead. Says I returned a rental car with damage in Sept 2013!

The invoice is for $650.

I'm considering calling from the office and having some fun with them. Maybe I'll ask for a copy of the Rental Agreement and the claim paperwork for starters.

The remittance address is PO Box 46030 Eden Prairie, MN 55344

Phone number listed is 1-80*-***-****

I just received one from them the other day with the same phone number and address. I actually rented from the company though.

When I called they couldn't give me any reasons for the damage stating that all the claims haven't come in yet.

Makes no sense if they already sent me a bill. I'm glad I didn't give them any cc info or my ssn.

I just received the same letter from Budget. It states that I rented a car last year in JUNE and now I owe for damages.

Well correct me if I am wrong, when you turn your car in and you do your walk around, they assess the damages at that point. They say yes or no. If you have no Damages you are free to go and they give you a form and you leave. I am looking at my Form right now.

Good thing I kept it in my suitcase because I am lazy. lol. But other than that, The mailing address on this letter is not a Budget address, nor the phone number. I also called budget and they have no record of a claim for me or the vehicle that I rented.

I just wanted to let everyone know that they are scamming everyone. They have no right to do this.

Guest

I have a letter from them here, they are still operating and asking for 838 dollars, but will gladly accept 417. They would not give me info with out giving them my SSn, which I refused and told them I would give them the Convergent acct #.

I was told they could not take that 'because of privacy reasons'I hung up on them. I am still checking things out but am sure this is not legit in any way shape or form :p

Guest

same thing happen to me but it was Comcast and we do not and never had it. and wanted $3,107.97.

for collection . gives phone and extension number but when you it call it on one there.:(

Guest

I fell for this also. I did receive a website and the mentoring , but never received the 1,000 mailers I was told I would receive( the invoice was dated July 16, 2013.) I had already mailed out 300 circulars (which the PO tells me should have been printed with the fold not at the position it is, but at the bottom.) These circulars were a seperate purchase the I had made.

I continued to receive offers from Zaken for a while, but they stopped abruptly.

It was probably thought we have gotten all we can out of this sucker.

Let's move on to another. I could tell you more, but I think you get the idea.

Guest

The very same *** from Convergence came to my address with my daughter's name on it...collecting for Time Warner Cable. They wanted her to settle for half and give credit card info.

This is without a doubt a scam. She has never had cable.
