First National Collection Bureau, Inc.

This company is a scam and should be shut downJudging by their F rating and reviews, I can see I am not alone in thatThey keep trying to collect on a debt I never hadIf you do a *** search you can see they are notorious for that tooThey should be shut down and the people that run the company jailed

Got "the letter" from this outfit in the mail It was not I whom they were looking for, so I called them They had my address and name, so I was concerned about what other info they had I spoke to one of the rudest women I've ever encountered on the phone They are a big scam She didn't like it when I refused to give her the last four of my SS number Rotten, rotten people They should be put out of business Don't pay them a nickel!!!

FNCB sent my wife a letter claiming she owed some company about $1, As best as we can tell from the company name indicated on the letter we have never done business with the company they referenced We called FNCB and they would not talk to us unless we gave them my wife's Social Security Number - which we will NEVER do So, they ended the call
This is a huge scam, and this company is a huge scam company If they continue to send letters or harass my wife we will be forced to take legal action

I just got off of the phone with a gentleman by the name of Dereel R[redacted] a representative at the company. He was so helpful not only did he inform me about my total that was less than what I was expecting he was patient as well. Mr. R[redacted] helped me make the decision of making monthly payments so my total amount would not be so hard on my pockets. I was so frustrated after my [redacted] bill was sent to collections and R[redacted] made my day with his wise suggestion and informative info.

This company sent me a letter to settle for half the amount owed the creditor. They mailed me a payment schedule. The next letter said they received the first payment but, please provide your new reference number with next payment. After the BBC told me that their rating is an F (A+ - F), I looked them up and the whole screen lit up bright red. I looked at the reviews and said to myself "DUMB [redacted]", they got me for $100. I feel like getting a cheap flight to Nevada and cursing them out personally !!!!!!!!!. When they steal, they get a sunny vacation in Hawaii. When we steal we get a free all expense paid ride to the joint!

I called to speak to them about a case. Why is it that they have to be rude. They intentionally harass and treat you horrible. I think they do this so you will pay and they will go away. Its TIPICAL PRACTICE OF BAD BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WON'T PUT UP WITH THIS.GONNA GET THIS BEHAVIOR OUT THERE. MR. DON L[redacted] YOU KEEP IN MIND YOU ARE A FLOOR SUPERVISOR SO PLEASE DON'T THINK YOU ARE IN THE SAME CATERGORY AS A CEO!!!! SAYING THAT Why are you so rude and abrupt and make the people seem like they are all stupid? Please check yourself. This company will not succeed like this. Positive manners get you much further! Thats a fact!

The account was a fraud account why do we have to endure this abuse???
