I received a message from equifax that a new account had been opened in my name. I checked my credit report and it listed a debt for $1642.00 which i am unaware of. I have no clue who these people are. When I called their number it was answered by Midline Management another debt collector. What's up with this?
#1 - gina smith - 11/20/2008 - 12:35
This is as bad as highway robbery. The debts are old or unreal. The time is past for when anyone would have documentation so they are left at the hands of some other company to deal with. No one calls you priior to reporting it to the credit reporting agency. AND they don't care.
#2 - Pamela Dubis - 03/04/2009 - 16:02
I think this outfit is a scam. Not only are they sending me letters to repay off a debt. They are reporting to a credit places. I have a lawsuit pending against this company

Mail Order Houses

#4 - Morgan - 04/15/2009 - 15:05
My credit report also shows a charge "mail order houses" for $237. Never had such an account. I called Jefferson, complained... and told them I was reporting them to the BBB.
#5 - Rick H - 05/15/2009 - 10:44

#6 - JOHN DOUGHTY - 05/15/2009 - 15:42
I also received a letter from this company claiming that I owed them 218.00. I have no idea who these people are and I have never heard of them before.
#7 - Sjordan - 08/30/2009 - 13:30
I also had two things on my credit report from Jefferson Capital. I disputed it and asked for validation. I sent the letter registered/return reciept. Never heard anything so I sent a follow up and ordered a new credit report to find them no where listed. If you have a problem try sending them a validation letter return receipt. Keep really good records and stay on the 30 day time frame with the first and the 15 day follow up. These people will try to scam you with an Emblem card notice...don't do it.

I settled with this company in April 2009 for $175.00 and they are still on my credit report as owing them.

When I called them recently I was advised they sold my account to another collection company.

JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS PUT A DEBT ON MY CREDIT REPORT. I DON'T KNOW THIS COMPANY. I DON'T OWE DEBT. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME BEFORE PUTTING THIS AGAINST MY CREDIT. DON'T TRUST THESE PEOPLE.
#19 - CHERYL - 03/13/2011 - 18:57
For the past year I have been trying to find out why you have a claim against me on my credit report with Sprint. When I contacted Sprint, they said I DON'T OWE them a dime. There is no record of me with them in 2008. So lets get this fixed.Please contact me. Thank you.
#20 - gregory curler - 03/14/2011 - 16:04
OMG, Me Too Cheryl #19. I just got a letter on 3/11/2011 from First National Collection Bureau from Creditor: Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC saying I owe $112.96 for Sprint Services. I haven't had a Sprint phone in 6 years. This is the first I've been contacted. Come to find out it's also on my credit report. How do i get this taken care of??
#21 - Nikki - 03/17/2011 - 16:05
I just got a letter from 1st national collection bureau, inc. on march 7,2011. with creditor as jefferson capital systems,llc for an at&t bill for $100.75. When i called 1st national, she could not give me any info on the bill, as I am a current customer with at&t, and pay my bills, I was confused. I was also confused if they have all this info, then how come they cant tell me what it is for. I called at&t and they said I had no outstanding bills and that they did not send me to collections. I called 1st national back and the lady was very rude, when I would speak she would hold down a button so she could not hear me, her name is linda ext #3187. She told me that at&t did not directly send me to collections, that they would have no record of sending me to collections, and that they sold my bill to jefferson capital. She said it is probably from 11 yrs ago and it could have only been a couple of dollars, but over the years interest and fees brought it up to $100.75. I asked for info on jefferson capital and she could not give me any, I wanted to know what was the original bill and she could not tell. I tried calling back and they would not let me speak with here. SCAM SCAM SCAM! Scary that they have all my information.
#22 - jefuller - 03/19/2011 - 10:56
I received a bill from First national Collection Bureau out of Sparks, Nevada, concerning a bill for $111.75 from AT&T. I do NO business with AT&T. I called and they wanted my ss#. I am sending this letter to Lisa Madigan our Attorney General to file a complaint.
#23 - Lynne - 03/20/2011 - 19:31

#24 - Dottie - 03/21/2011 - 14:48
IS THIS A SCAM?
I just received a letter from "First National Collection Bureau, Inc." and they said I owe "Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC" $194.67 because they bought the bill from AT&T. This bill was back from 2005. I am so confused. I paid all of my bills and they spoke to me like I was retarded. I called AT&T and they said I did not owe anything.
#25 - Cindy - 03/25/2011 - 18:27

#26 - KIMBERLY HOELTKE - 04/20/2011 - 21:03
they sent me a bill telling me I owe someone money, I found out that after a company says you are a "right off". They sell information to places like Jefferson credit and they come after and hound you, threaten you and. your name and info remains in the duragatory column of your credit report they are scamming you
#27 - Donna - 04/21/2011 - 15:23
$1000!!
Jefferson Capital is a fraud. I can't even get in contact with these people. Wouldn't you think if somebody owed you that much money they will have every contact number in the world for them to be reached? They say its for some credit card I never heard of. They are making my credit look bad. The bad part about it: it just got on my credit as of May 5, 2011.
#28 - Jamin Howard - 06/02/2011 - 17:15
Just got a letter today, from a Attorney's office (Morgan & Pottinger, P.S.C., out of Kentucky, stating that Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC, is suing me for $945.30 and Court Costs of $149.00, no Attorney's fees and no Intrest. Looked very fishy, the payment web address is a broken link, the Cause # listed is not valid. The phone number does not match the Attorney's website, no one signed the paper, and I never heard of these people until this letter came, hum, scam! Has anyone filed a class Action suit against these people?
#29 - Deron Kosloski - 06/27/2011 - 13:56

#30 - karen jones - 08/05/2011 - 22:53
We need to know what item and what address this account was sent to. We don't think it is our account. We have found several things in our credit report that is not ours.
We called you but you wanted our address to send up a bill.
We need this straight out to
clear our credit report

just got off phone with these people. transferred me twice after waitin 35 minutes. result, call back tommorrow.
#32 - louism - 08/16/2011 - 16:42
Just got off the phone with Jefferson Capital. They are scammers. Tried to collect debt two different ways by transferring the debt to another. The debt was for a credit card for which I paid annual fee and other fees only to have them cancel the card after a month and bill me for the fees and a few purchases I had med before they killed the card and supposedly went out of business! Made a settlement with other company, Visions Financial) for half of the debt (which represented the purchases minus the fees!) and 6 months later it is back on my credit report. I called them and faxed them the settlement and they still refuse to remove it from the report which was part of the deal I made with Visions. Now they are saying Visions was unauthorized to make that deal but they were authorized to TAKE THE MONEY!!! SHARKS!!!!!! Better to not do a deal with these guys!!! And watch for their many "representative companies'.
#33 - Edris Cooper - 09/08/2011 - 15:14
WTF
I just checked my credit report and I had an account that was "recently opened" from Jefferson Capitol LLC, saying I owed them $704.00. It literally dropped my score by 58 points. Does anyone know what I can do???
#34 - Cody - 09/22/2011 - 19:11
Zombie debt
I just received an alert from my credit monitoring company reporting an account that was "recently opened" from Jefferson Capitol LLC, saying I owed them $404.00... It literally dropped my score by 85 points.

Warning to all, they are a Zombie debt collector... They specialize in old outdated account information in which the account had been written off and/or discharged by the original creditor.
#35 - Will - 10/31/2011 - 14:01
I am so glad I researched this Jefferson Capital Systems..I actually was looking to make an online payment for something they said I owed, something that was paid in May of 2011, they told me the checked was returned and I still owed it...and like the rest of you, they have reported it to the credit agencies and it appears negative on my report...why and how does this happen, and how do they get away with it ?
#36 - Carl - 11/19/2011 - 08:13
Will not stop calling being harressed by them and told them I was reporting them and the stupid idiots keep calling. No debt was used. Maybe ex-wife did it in my name.
#37 - Brandon Harman - 11/19/2011 - 20:37
Who are these guys?
I just received a negative score from these people over $83. I don't owe anybody $83!!!!
#38 - terry - 12/27/2011 - 11:08
Really... I don't condone debt collectors tactics, but apparently you all on here owed money on a prior debt whether it was 1,3,5,7,10 or what ever years ago and you all forgot about it and it's just now catching up with you because it was lingering on file with some other debt collector. So they pulled your file and called another debt collecting company and asked if they wanted to buy it. These smaller companies (Jefferson Capital) will take it cause they need the business! So they buy it from the previous DC for super cheap and then report it back to the Credit Bureau. If it's fraud and someone stole your identity the best thing for you to do is dispute it with the credit bureau's, if they are in your favor and remove it they will send you a letter of it's removal. Once you have that letter go ahead and write a letter to Jefferson Capital stating that your debt was disputed with the credit agency's due to fraud .. supply them with the copy from the credit bureau's and I'm sure that will clear thing's up.
#39 - Greg S. - 01/04/2012 - 09:12
Ignorant people
Called and Told them I wanted it deleted from my credit since in the 5 years I owed them for a banks fault I never received a bill or a single phone call I paid it though.I asked them to delete it they said we don't do that I asked why they said cause we just don't I said I would understand If I knew about the account or received a notice about it but I did not and he the supervisor told me you cant prove that you received no notice what a douche are government needs to shut this place down.
#40 - Justin - 01/25/2012 - 09:56
What is this?
I received a call from a company that said they are representing Barclays Bank and I owe $1,198.64 and they will do a 30 day settlement of $599.32. Why did they wait about 4 years to tell me this and they would not release no itemization now I get a letter from Jefferson Capitol saying I owe this amount. What is this?
#41 - Byron P. - 02/14/2012 - 14:28
Sprint
Jefferson Capital says i owe sprint $355, i contacted sprint, and they pulled info with my SS#, and full name, they said i owe them nothing. i also currently have service with sprint, and they said if i owed them money, i couldnt have service with them.
#42 - william s. - 02/20/2012 - 19:21

#43 - Joseph - 02/21/2012 - 08:04
Be aware they are reporting 120 day lates which they cannot do. They will also pull dofd out of thin air and change it. They have done both of these to me which is a clear violation of the FCRA. I am suing.
#44 - Tammy K. - 02/23/2012 - 12:37
They sent me a bill for something that I paid off over 10 years ago. The government def needs to look into this company for scams!!

Re-dating old debt
This agency is re-dating old debt and intentionally causing damage to my credit score. I have spoken to an attorney and if they do not remove it I will sue them.
#46 - AJ. - 03/12/2012 - 03:10
Has anyone tried to report them to the better business bureau? I just found out they reported on my credit report. I don't even have their number.
#47 - irene - 03/12/2012 - 13:53
Retired school teacher
This company keeps calling me about alleged debts I owe. I owe no one any debts. When push came to shove, the last time I had dealings with them, I proved to them I was not the person they wanted. They promised not to call me again, but they still keep calling and harrassing me. Reading similar complaints by others,why has nothing been done to stop these people? Identity theft is one thing, but preying on people who owe debts is just reprehensible.

This Jefferson Capital System appeared on my credit report in 2008 and I sent letters to the company to tell the I never opened anything with them & I don't understand why this is on my report. I even talked with resprentatives on the phone and they said it would be taken care of. And to this day its on my credit report I owe them 1,000 dollars. I never had any account with them. Plain craziness.
