Scumbag collection agency filled with dirtbags. Can't believe they are in a city as gang infested as the Windy City. I've never been in a gang before or been to Chicago but from what I hear you can't even look at someone in the eye there. They try to pulling their collection tactics on a sworn gang ...

I ve had to call them at least 6 times now to see why they are calling. Every time they are looking for someone else. They say they will remove the number from their list but apparently that s not true. I ve blocked the number and every few months I get another voicemail from them. Frustrating.
