The Bureau of Collection Recovery Inc. - Calls a Pittsburgh Consumer a deadbeat and a liar!

Bureau of Collection Recovery Inc. “BCR” is a debt collector.  BCR purchases old cellular phone debts.

A debt collector employed by BCR contacted a Pittsburgh consumer regarding an old cellular phone bill.  The consumer repeatedly told the debt collector he paid this bill and not to call him anymore.  Like many debt collectors, they didn’t take him off the calling list. 

The consumer then sent a letter to the debt collector disputing this debt.

As for Bureau of Collection Recovery Inc.  (that name alone is intimidating), they of course took the road most debt collectors take and kept on contacting the consumer. 

BCR even went as far as calling the consumer a deadbeat and a liar.  The collector told the consumer he was going to ruin his credit if he did not pay this debt.  But why should he?  He already paid this debt, years ago.

The consumer contacted Jeff, who filed a lawsuit against BCR.    BCR stopped calling the consumer.   The case settled after BCR agreed to pay the consumer.

If you are contacted by a debt collector, do a little research.  The research can be as simple as “googling” the debt collector’s name. You will be surprised what you find.  Don’t be left in the dark.  Know who you are dealing with and what they are capable of doing.   And as always if you are having any problems with a debt collector, call Jeff.
