In July of 2006 my husband and I (the bill is in his name) decided to get a wireless service with Cingular Wireless( we did have phone service with them at the time), I had went to visit Canada so I intended not to use this service unless I had to. Well when we got back we had been given a bill from Cingular Wireless for 2531.59 and quickly terminated the service.
We then continued to make payments as we could each month to Cingular Wireless and apparently they wanted the bill paid and monthly payments were not good enough.
In Oct. 2006 we received a letter from First Revenue Assurance a collection company that Cingular Wireless uses to get their money. We told them we can pay what we can. Even though the bill is in my husbands name they continued to talk to me and laugh at me because I was making 50.00 payments to Cingular and that we needed to have the bill resolved. So we paid what we could. We then gave them 400.00 to pay a portion of the bill. I tried to gather up all my bills and the last bill I see from First Revenue Assurance is Dec, 12, 2006, we didn't hear back from them. We had forgot about the bill, I know it was our responsibility to follow up but we didn't.
Then we got another collection notice from Nationwide Recover Systems in August, 2007. We paid them 150.00 in Oct. 07. They also gave us collection fees of 394.26, so our bill is 2584.00. My husband talked to them recently and they wanted 800.00 for us to pay. They said some words to my husband that were harsh and when my husband called back and told them we couldnt afford 800.00 they hung up on him because they told him he refused payment, but he told them that we didnt' refuse payment we just couldn't afford 800.00. We were willing to negotiate a payment.
Right now I am so frustrated with Cingular, First Revenue Assurance and Nationwide Recovery Systems, Im not sure if this is something to post here, but I feel people should know about this.
Thanks

look at your service agreement

First of all you need to read the service agreement when signing up for cell service for a 2500+ bill you used your phone more than just a little. Everyone knows roaming charges apply, also collection agencies that are hired by people you owe money to do not add collection fees the people you owed do. You also seem to think 50.00 a month is acceptable that was not even what you were supposed to pay a month

I Feel Your Pain
AUTHOR: Roger - (U.S.A.)

This same company, First Revenue Assurance keeps calling me, multiple times a day sometimes, for weeks on end, then they stop for a week, and continue again over and over.... Their calls go to Google Voice now and they are blocked, however a record of the calls is kept for me to use.
I did not know what this company was trying to collect by calling me over and over. I have not had Cingular for years, and the claim with them was settled back in 2004, when their 3rd party agent screwed me out of a refund, and I eventually took them to the BBB and settled for the return of my monies spend for the phone I had, and the monthly payment fees.
It looks as if they are still trying to collect on something improperly reported as a debt. Which is fine, as the S.O.L is well over at this point.
I feel your pain, and understand what you are going through. Have you contacted them with a cease letter so they stop calling? You may want to do that, and there are many sites that can guide you on how to do this, and properly mail/serve the letters, and keep legal copies for yourself so you can have a well documented record. It starts by making sure you have the calls documented.
Hope this helps.
