A Quote From Their Website: "Debt collection requires a delicate balance of both collection technique and knowledge of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. All Allen, Lewis & Associates personnel are thoroughly trained in debt collection." Jeannie Hecht and husband Robert Hecht are the owners of Allen, Lewis & Associates. Allen, Lewis & Associates, Inc. is NOT, I repeat NOT a law office. There are NO attorneys there. Only a bunch of jerks who like to beat up on people over the phone to try and con you out of your money. Jeannie Hecht and hubby Robert Hecht, the owners of Allen, Lewis & Associates DO have lawyers. They hire them to defend themselves against the many lawsuits filed against them for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Sleazy, liars, con-men and lawbreakers, like to collect using threats of legal actions and intimidation. This is a SLEAZY group of social misfits, untrained and unprofessional money grubbers who will tell you anything, so long as it results in them making money. The Hecht's are why we have a FEDERAL LAW to regulate the activities of debt collectors. Liars, thieves and con-men aptly fits this organization of losers and con artists. Here is what they say on their website, is this truth or more collection agency b.s.?? "Debt collection requires a delicate balance of both collection technique and knowledge of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. All Allen, Lewis & Associates personnel are thoroughly trained in debt collection. Every employee realizes the importance of representing your best interest by treating your customers with courtesy and providing knowledgeable information and facts about their responsibilities in resolving their obligation with your organization.  At Allen, Lewis & Associates, both you and your customers will be handled professionally and respectfully, with careful attention to details that are important to you." DO YOU THINK THEY ARE WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONALS? WERE YOU HANDLED WITH RESPECT? WERE THEIR COLLECTORS KNOWLEDGEABLE? HOW ABOUT THE COURTESY? Paying ANY money to this sleazy band of collectors will only make you worse off than you are.
 
CAUTION : I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email  the details w/your location.  Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.      Email for Assistance  

"I was told to try & work something out with the original company but K&S told me its already been turned over to this collection agency." - Do you owe K&S any money?  Because from this statement, it sounds as if you do. 

"you had time to deal with the nice people now you have to deal with the bad people".  - Why didn't you try & make good with K&S BEFORE it got sent to the "bad people". 

Obviously, I don't think anyone deserves to be treated like a piece of dirt, BUT if you have a debt you are aware of, choose to ignore it, and let it get to this level, then the blame's on you. 

They cannot touch your wages. I would not even tell them were I work at.  I also believe this caller is trying to scam you. I would not even answer the phone . I would see about putting a block on thier # or change it have it unpublished and no imformation given on the new #f I would unstruct  people who you give it to not to  pass it to folks you do not know.  If he calls again I would tell this caller that if you take me to court I am not paying your legal fees.

I agree do not give any bank imformation such as checking account or credit card  #s.From what I read this could be a scam I would tell this caller to stick it were the sun don't shine and do not give SS #

ask they send you dunning letter, they should by law send you one five days after the initial contact.  when you receive the latter, send them debt validation, or FOAD letter. they cant threat you by court or any garbage they say. get hold of your self and do not answer any phone from them, if you do ask that every thing should be in writing. do not give any bank account or any things to those sewage pp. do not take any abuse from them either.
