Also received a call from ***ter &****ocs from 877-322-2023 and also a Logan Wallace saying he was from Federal Recovery Group.   Well if you check both of these web sites they are exactly the same!   And have the same Fax number and are both in Georgia.    Its a scam.You need to send them a letter and tell them to contact you only via mail under the FDCPA.TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:Pursuant to my rights under federal debt collection laws, I am requesting that you cease and desist communication with me, as well as my family and friends, and my employer, in relation to this and all other alleged debts.  Please contact me either via e-mail or by mail.You are hereby notified that if you do not comply with this request, I will immediately file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office or the state office of which you are certified.  Civil and criminal claims will be pursued.I do  intend to pay this debt and I am currently working with a financial advisor to settle my debts and will contact you shortly.  I apologize for this inconvenience.Thank you.

I agree totally. NEVER pay ANYONE ANY money that claims you owe them or an "orginal creditor". ALWAYS get so****ing in writing IN THE MAIL. I think that the state of Georgia PERIOD is into these types of scams because I have received calls from this agency as well as others (all coincidentally in the same area) and when I challenged them to send me written do***entation of the alleged debt that I owed, they s****ed telling me some BS that they were not required to send me anything. Even after I quoted the law(FDCPA) and told them that they were. Never give them ANY of your information. If they are legit they will have it. Just tell them to send you a certified return receipt letter explaining what it is you supposedly owe (a***n, if they are legit, they WILL have your correct mailing address). Then, get their mailing information and end the call... On your end send them a certifed return receipt letter requesting the information as a follow-up to your conversation (make sure to include a sentence or clause for them to not contact you anymore. They have to abide by this written notification because it's the law). Then, wait for a response. If they are legit, you'll get what you are well within your rights to receive (detailed information on the original debt) and you can proceed from there. If not you'll either hear nothing whatsoever or get a letter saying that (as "Concerned Citizen" so graciously & helpfully said) there will be no further contact or the case has been closed or dropped or so****ing of that nature.

I'm getting calls from ***ters And****ociates Investigation Firm, LLC  and the investigator (hahah yea right) is Logan Wallace. They're calling my stepmother's house and that isn't even my phone number, and leaving threatening voicemails. They have never validated this supposed debt I owe and I know they are fake. I filed a FTC and BBB complaint today a***nst the fraudulent company ***ters And****ociates Investigation Firm, LLC . Don't pay them! Whatever they say you owe. They're fakes.

I just paid these scam artists without doing my research and not only did they take they my payment but they took it out twice!!!!! Don'y make the same mistake I made this is def a scam no matter how legit they sound!!!

Am I the only one who has noticed that the messages left here on this website dated NOV 19 by Keith, NOV 19 (gee what a coincidence two people claiming how they were in the wrong and the collection agency was in the right on the same day! )by Michelle and a***n on Dec 3 by Rob all happen to have the same funky font?  And that all 3 "claim" about the terrible terrible trouble they got themselves into by daring to snub their nose at this high and mighty collection agency!  Look at how “Rob” even goes through the trouble to post a link to their website for the common good!  How so very nice of “Rob”!  How ****** do they think people are?  I don’t know about anyone else but I can see as clear as day that Keith, Michelle and Rob ARE nothing more then the low-life debt collectors from ***ter and****ociates posting as debtors to try and scare people into thinking they are a legit outfit and that we should all be shaking in our boots if we dare owe them any money.  Oh please!!!  What they are doing by claiming to be an “investigator” and claiming to bring “civil or criminal case” a***nst anyone violates the federal debt collection laws.    They use nothing more than scare tactics and they hope that people are dumb enough to fall for them.  Don’t fall for it!  Know you rights!  So ***ter.....you can kiss my *******!!!!!  I'm not falling for your tricks.  You will never get a dime from me.

I WAS CONTACTED BACK IN FEBUARY BY AN INVESTIGATOR FROM THIS #. i WAS TOLD i  OWED A DEBT FOR $1200.00. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS MATTER WAS A CASE OF CHECK FRAUD . I DIDNT BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME WAS TRUE SO  I ***G UP AND IGNORED THEIR CALL WHEN THEY CALLED BACK. THEY LEFT A MESSAGE ON THE MA****E STATING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FOWARD  OVER BUT I DIDNT BELIEVE THEM. ON APRIL 14 OF 2009 I WAS PULLED OVER FOR A TRAFFIC TICKET AND HAD A WARRANT IN THE COMPUTER FOR CHECK FRAUD. I WAS SENTENCED TO 6 MONTHS IN JAIL AND ORDERED TO PAY A $2000.00 fine. I  NOW KNOW THAT IT IS THE REAL DEAL SO I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WITH DOUBT ABOUT THIS CASE TO BELIEVE IT IS REAL. THE MESSED UP PART ABOUT IT IS, I HAD TO SERVE TIME AND PAY A FINE BIGGER THAN MY DEBT

I RECIEVED A CALL FROM THIS # AND TALKED TO AN INVESTIGATOR WHO HAD ALL MY PERSONAL INFO AND SAID THAT A CREDITOR WAS LOOKING TO MOVE FOWARD A***NST ME FOR CHECK FRAUD SO I DID MY OWN INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB TO LOOK UP WHAT WAS GOING ON AND FOUND OUT I ACTUALY DID BREAK THE LAW BY GETTING A PAYDAY LOAN AND NOT PAYING IT BACK ON THE DAY I POST DATED MY CHECK FOR. I ALSO SPOKE WITH A LAWYER WHO SAID THEY DID HAVE A VALID CASE A***NST ME. I TOOK ADVISE FROM MY LAWYER AND PAYED THE LOAN BACK AND RECIEVED  A  CERTIFIED LETTER IN THE MAIL SAID THAT THIS LOAN WAS PAYED IN FULL. I CHECKED OUT THEIR WEB SITE @ WWW.***TERANDASSOCIATESFIRM.COM TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE A LEGIT INVESTIGATION FIRM AND THEY WERE EXACTLY WHO THEY SAID THEY WERE.

I HAD RECIEVED A SUMMONS TO GO TO COURT ABOUT MY DEBT AND TRIED TO CALL THIS COMPANY UP TO HANDLE IT. THEY WERE VERY NON CHALANT TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ANYMORE. THEY SAID THAT THEY TRIED TO CONTACT ME A MONTH AGO AND HAD NOT RECIEVED A CALL BACK AND HAD TO FORWARD THE CASE OVER. I FEEL THAT THEY COULD HAVE WORKED WITH ME INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF OF WORK AND HAVING TO GO TO COURT WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED OVER THE PHONE.

They are calling maybe once a month for a family member.  I told them to stop calling.  The lady stated she was an investigator.  I told her that's a fancy name for an unpaid debt collector.  Anywho, I told them not to call a***n and I was recording the call to report to the commission and asked for her name and SSN.  She ***g up.  Don't give these nuts any of your information.  They are not law enforcement (law enforcement will come directly to you not make a call).

Private investigaor Robin Benson keeps calling me at work asking for my social security # and leaving threatening messages on my voice mail being that I work for a government agency they are jeopordizing my job and I want it stopped now my ident***y has already been stolen once. I guess it's time to hire an attorney and stop the harassing and threatening calls and see what kind of legal action can be taken.

Logan Wallace needs contact about a matter concerning Criminal and Civil investigation.This is a croc. It is a scare tactic for 3rd party collectors. don't believe everything you hear from these lowlifes. They hope for commission collections at any cost.I have an answer for them seeing as I come from law enforcement family. Let's do this! you bring your badge to the door and I'll have mine show up. ****

the representative introduced herself as an investigator and told me that criminal charges will be brought a***nst me. and asked me to verify the last 4 of my social so she could make sure she was talking to the right person, i did not verify any information but i did tell her i was going to call her back

Had a voice mail at my job stating that they were a investagor and that crimal charges were pending and that I needed to call them back. I knew it was a bill collector. Do not trust these people.  They need to realize IT IS a***nst the law to harrass anyone at there job.

Left no message. Called my cell phone twice. I called them back and the answering ma****e says that it is the investigative department.

Call from ***ter and****ociates
