I received a message from another MCGC victim, "Debra" of Wisconsin, recently. She'd received a call from "Laura of CBS2, the Chicago CBS-TV affiliate. I called CBS2 on Tuesday and left a message with an assistant for Laura, but haven't heard anything back yet. Joe told me he's worked with his network's affiliate in Chicago in the past and will find and speak with Laura, then get back to me.
Another victim who called me last weekend, "Mike" from nearby Quincy, has also agreed to be available for Joe "if it'll help."
Joe was especially interested that Merchants' has some sort of branch office here in Massachusetts, in Weymouth, so it has a good local angle. I got a call from "Mike" on Saturday, another victim from Massachusetts. I just got off the phone with him and he's willing to talk with Joe if it's helpful.
If you live in Massachusetts, I need your help if you're willing to speak with Joe. If you are, please contact me and let's see if we can't shut this scam down together.
Finally, we're moving folks -- have got the right people's attention at last!
Keep fighting and we'll end this scam and bring down Merchants' Credit Guide Co.!

Email OIG At the FTC to Stop MCGC
AUTHOR: Ciro - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 19, 2006
I realized from postings on the site that complaining to the FTC about repeated telephone calls from MCGC was falling on deaf ears and that the OIG (Office of the Inspector General) at the FTC was not enforcing the law that prohibits such behavior from debt collectors such as Merchants Credit Guide Co. to:
"repeatedly use the telephone to annoy someone".
Email (OIG@ftc.gov) and let them know that:
MCGC at 888-249-4134 must go
and for the OIG to enforce the law!
Thank you.

Answer for Kate re: CFB Financial / Merchants..
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 15, 2006
This is a scam Merchants Credit Guide is pulling!
Merchant's OWNS CFB Financial.
CFB Financial is the side of the house that buys the old worthless debts, and Merchants then attempts to collect them.
That way when a debtor requests debt validation from Merchants, they just write it themselves under the alias of CFB!
This is the absolute truth.
Hope this helps

Merchants' Credit Ripoff
AUTHOR: Kate - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 15, 2006
I called again and they told me they no longer have my information it was given back to the creditor: CFB Financial III LLC. When I asked how to contact them he told me to call my local directory assistance and ask them!!
Now why does all that sound fishy.....
I responded to it with a very nasty letter on her behalf, and then threw it away.
The debt was less than $200!
Unbelievable!

If anyone has anything to add to what I already know, act fast to contact me through my website:
I'll let you know there later today after I learn when the expos will be broadcast, with a link to it through streaming video if CBS4 posts it, as is its usual practice.
I need a reply from you *now* if you have anything to add. I've made it happen; it has begun. Act now, please.
