Was searching through my states website that lists whether or not a CA is licensed. I noticed that OSI is listed, and shares the same address as Transworld Systems. I remember from previous posts, LKH, you said OSI is Gulf. Could this (TWS) be yet another name Gulf State is using?
I couldn't find anything to match up address wise, but if it's the same address as OSI and Gulf Schmucks then it probably is another name they use. If I'm not mistaken, North Shore Agency is yet another name they use.
Yes, OSI is gulfstate. They switched names on me when I sent them validation on a very old debt. Then they started using the OSI name. I don't know if they were trying to throw me off, but I checked it out & they are the same credit mafia family.
Check this out. OSI is apparently DBA RWC Consulting Group: http://www.osi.to/public/cfm/second_text_links.html.
Yep. At the OSI site under links is RWC, Transworld systems is listed, North Shore is listed, but the famous Gulf State isn't, but we all know it should be. So, now we have 4 different names they use. There probably are more.
Just to add one more to the list, In Indiana they use Indiana Mutual Credit Assn. or IMC Credit Services. You can find a list of all the subsidiary names by examing the From 10K that OSI Portfolio Services has to file with the SEC. Go to edgar.sec.gov to search. The list has at least 20 different names.

Yup, and there's one I didn't include - appears to be a manufacturing enterprise - steel casting. Doh? Perhaps it is a disguise, hehe.
I've already made North Shore Agency go away with their tail between their legs. Now they're back (under a different company name) with a different debt. Where is the light at the end of my tunnel? <edit> Of course they're in disguise, they have to be. They need to hide behind 20 different company names.
The TWS address I found is local for me. Think I might just go down their, so them the hand signed letter from the original creditor that told them to back off and forget everything, and tell them if they don't stop playing games with this new "alleged" debt they'll find themselves at the defendants table in court fighting a losing battle.
North Shore was an easy victim for me. I sent them the validation letter and within a week I had a return letter that they were closing the books and deleting it. They did and I've never heard a thing further. Look at my sig. I told you they were a terrorist org. They have as many branches as Al Queida.
*NORTH SHORE AGENCY INC* This is the ones who tried to EXTORT $19.95 or some such price out of us for a FREE GUITAR magazine...
