    Someone named FIN COLL AGENCY ran an AR on my TU in early December. After intially being unable to provide ANY info on the inquiry, TU came back with this:

    FIN COLL AGENCY
    2675 Paces Ferry
    Atlanta, GA 30339
    404.333.6600

    I tried the number - disconnected and no info.
    Tried googling around the address...there are a lot of suites at 2675 Paces Ferry...none that seemed financial.

    My goal is to discover WHO this is...Does anyone have any good ideas? Should I put more pressure on TU?

    Can't hurt to try with TU. Wish I had more info for you.

    Good luck!

    My husbadn also has a AR from FIN COLL in Dec. 2002.

    I have no clue what it is. Please let us know if you figure it out.

    peace,

    Mine was on TU. I called customer service and asked for info. I would be very interested in what your inquiry had.

    ALSO - was your's a hard or a soft?

    Let's get these jerkies!

    His was on TU, as well -- a soft inq.

    But we've got bigger problems to deal with right now so it will probably just sit there for a while before I start poking at it.

    Still I AM curious and might ask TU if they have more info so I can do something down the road with it. I'll let you know what I find out ... if anything.

    peace,
    delilah

    This company tried to collect on me and what i did was try and have them validate the account .guess what they could not do this i knew at one time the FTC was looking into their actions.so i guess they were put out of business.

    Well, they aren't out of business...

    Could you give a little more info?

    Where did you send your validation? Did you send it Return Receipt? Did someone accept it?

    Anything else about the FTC?

    I'm pretty curious. Here's a company giving false info [ phone number ] or incomplete info [ partial address ] to a CRA - AND posing as someone with whom I have a credit relationship [ Account Review ]. Pretty slimy AND perhaps an indication of upcoming trouble.

    I think there are two liabilities:

    1. these FIN COLL AGENCY folks - false / incomplete info.

    2. TU - for not verifiying the info of the people they report to.

    Maybe I'm neurotic, but I think it's a big deal. I'll keep you posted.

    I have an AR on my TU report from this company in May of 2002. I just disputed this with TU, so I'll be interested to see what they come back with. I've never heard of this company, either.
