CONSUMER WARNING: EXTORTION IS A FELONY IN ALL STATES.
IF A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTS IT, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POLICE OR THE FBI. GIVE THEM THE NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND EXTENSION OF THE DEBT COLLECTOR COMMITTING THE CRIME.

extortion
n. obtaining money or property by threat to a victim's property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of a right (such as pretending to be an IRS agent). It is a felony in all states, except that a direct threat to harm the victim is usually treated as the crime of robbery. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing, damaging information to family, friends or the public.

John H. Hernandez, CEO

BIG on intimidation, threats of legal actions, lies and garnishment.

VERY sleazy, disgusting collectors such as the one using the name of JOHN ELLWOOD AT EXTENSION #317. He called to harass a client 14 times in a row one day, AFTER being told NOT to call at work and receiving a cease-communication notice. His threats of immediate legal actions and wage garnishment are proof that criminals DO work in the industry and need to feel the long arm of the law. Mr. Ellwood did not realize that with subpoenas, his REAL name, his social security number, and home address can easily, be obtained. Then, the wheels of justice start turning. Making threats via telephone, across interstate-lines is a criminal act, with SERIOUS repercussions. Mr. Ellwood will find out how the law works sooner, rather than later.

CEO Robert H. Hernandez should spend more time on getting better employees, then train them properly on the law and customer service. Garbage like Debt Collector 'JOHN ELLWOOD - Ext#317' is living proof how current/former ex cons can give the business a bad reputation. It is scum like Ellwood that encourages me to WARN consumers NOT to send money to illegal debt collectors such as National Financial Systems.

Instead, use the cease-comm letter to tell CEO Hernandez that his illegal debt collectors will not be paid anymore.

Poor on FDCPA compliance. I would watch anything they report on your credit files, record their conversations (if legal), and dispute everything they place on a credit report. NEVER give a debt collector your banking or credit card information. This crew of collection nightmares should NEVER be trusted.
NEVER give a debt collector your banking or credit card information.

NEVER do 'checks by phone' as debt collectors could empty your bank account.

REMEMBER: Debt collectors have NO power and NO authority and should NEVER be trusted. They will lie and cheat you to get at your money.

RECORD conversations with debt collectors (where legal) so they can be prosecuted for breaking the law. Find out if taping is legal in your state: Can We Tape? (www.rcfp.org/taping/)
