Shady? Oh yeah. Website asks for account number and last 4 of SSN. Not a chance.

I called the number to tell them I had disputed the charges with all three credit reporting agencies. While checking those credit reports, I saw they had checked my report 3 times in September. Ernesto, their rep that answered my call after just under 2 hours, told me they first tried to collect in October.

I've noticed a different phone number on all these complaints here too. This is just shady.

Ernesto told me I could dispute the charge with them in writing within 30 days. I told him that gave him 29 days to prove to me it's legit.

Had another collection agency contact me in 2005 and 2006 about a $73 debt to Cingular. That also was apparently not real. Both times I asked for more information, was assured I'd get it, never heard from them again.

Don't give them any more information than they already have, and I wouldn't even confirm any they do have.

Be very guarded, from the list of complaints here, and the dates on them so grouped together, I'd bet, well, the $200 they're trying to steal, that it's a total scam.

Dispute the charges with the credit reporting agencies right away!
