On November 1, 2004 I called National Recovery Services @ 11:00am. I spoke to Johnny Valdez. They wanted my information not only to do a background check but also to charge me for Job Training Materials they said would be charged because many people receive the materials and never do the work. (Let me say right now after learning, NEVER EVER think you have to pay someone to work for them) He had me post-date the check for November 3, 2004 so that by the time they did the background check I would have the money in the bank as I was going to have to borrow the money to deposit in the bank.

I called back a few minutes later and asked Johnny for more information about his company so that I could feel more secure. I told him I would check them out with Better Business Bureau. He became defensive and told me that they have nothing to do with Better Business Bureau (Ok Large Flag to my already cynical mind.) I immediately went to check them out and found that they are only listed as never responding to Better Business Bureau.

I called back and spoke to a guy whose name I believe is Jason, I may be wrong, that tried to get Johnny on the phone but he would not come to the phone and the guy got back on the line and told me he would let him know that I did not want to work for their company and wanted the check voided and all of my information including Social Security and banking, dumped. I also emailed them after speaking to this guy and wrote the same exact thing. All this took 1 and 1/2 hours on the same day.

On November 8, 2004 They submitted an unauthorized check number 9999 to my bank and not the original check number I gave them of 0210. I had $1.18 in the bank, which put me in overdraft status being charged $30.00 because of it. I called my bank and was told that I am on my own even though clearly fraud is going on. They did however send me a copy of the check NRS submitted.

I called NRS and did indeed speak to a guy named Jason who was not only surprised about the check number but was surprised when I had another address listed for them that I got from the bank and on the check that looks like it comes from my bank only the bank's name is spelled incorrectly. He informed me he would let Johnny know (indeed he should.) I have to send everything I have gathered to them now and hope that I am reimbursed and before my bank sends me to collections.

This is obviously a con job in the most despicable degree. They are taking advantage of people (mostly women from what I gather) who have life circumstances that they need to be able to work at home like me, who may have children that they need to be there for after school or disabilities that this would be a perfect job for them. Preying on people's vulnerabilities is the worst sort of crime.

Let me add that this kind of insurance refunds from states requires no middleman. A person can call their states IRS or other refunds that they may have put up like for houses. These people are scumming people that aren't even needed to do this job. I got their ad from my local newspaper and I am notifying them, the news stations, and attorney generals office, Better Business Bureau of all 50 states. Until these people are stopped. I am printing out the other report to take to my bank and attorney generals office.

#5 Consumer Comment

NRS LLC in Ottawa, KS

AUTHOR: Me - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, January 15, 2010

If this company is so good and does its job legally, than why did I receive and email this week saying that they are going to take out the payment out of my account that I arranged? I never talked to ANYONE there let alone arranged for a payment out of my account. Thankfully for my sake, I changed banks a while back so you cannot have that account information unless you got that illegally too. This is why I did change banks considering that I was tired of a few too many fingers dipping into MY bank account whenever they felt like it! We will see if they take any money out today, and if they do, you bet I will get a lawyer and come after them.

#4 UPDATE Employee

No connection to National Recovery Services in KS

AUTHOR: Leanne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, November 06, 2009

There are a few different companies with the name National Recovery Service/s and even more that go by NRS with an online presence.  Due to similar business names, it is imperative to keep track of contact information on all debts; even when times are tough or you do not feel responsible for the bill.  If a collection agent calls and you do not have a letter from them readily available; get their call back number and address prior to ending the call for your records.   

As an hr director for National Recovery Services in Kansas, I can tell you that we are not connected to the business described in this "rip off report"; as one of the respondents suggests.  The respondent's vilification of our business is libelous and should be regarded as such.   

We are a small business and all proceeding facts are verifiable.  We began our business in October of 2007 (and this initial complaint was made in 2004).  We  are not affiliated with National Tracers.  Further, we would not be in business very long if we illegally and/or randomly debited accounts of consumers. 

Regardless, we continue to receive many complaint calls and letters on behalf of other agencies.  Why is this?  -It is easy to mistake similar names and we are easy to find online.  Our website is the usually the first one people come across in their search.

There is another company Called NRS in Ottawa Kansas. The collect on internet payday loans.I know they have a sister company in Utah as well. Not sure if they are the same company but there are reports and i do know for a fact they do go thur accts. and do unauthorized debits. I have seen this happen. The accts. they aquire have the bank info that come with acct info and they go thru these and call the 800# automated mach. and check for balances ramdomly and if they come across a bal. in an acct. they will take it! And as far as setting up a payment w someone that has made arrang. w them for a certain date, NRS has no problem taking it before its due or even after the person the acct belongs to that made the arrang. calls them to change the payment date or even cancel payment, THEY will still process the payment.

Please contact any one with a problem with UPDATE criminal case against National tracers Association & National Recovery Services

AUTHOR: Dorothea - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, November 19, 2004

I called the Attorney Generals in Salt Lake City who referred me to the Consumer Protection office there at the following number 801-530-6601 Address: 160 East 300 South Salt lake City, Utah 84114. It turns out National Recovery Services uses National Tracers Association for their cashing checks fraudulently. National Tracers Association has a criminal suit against them by the South Salt Lake City Police Department. CALL THEM at 801-412-3606 at least your banks wont hold you responsible for consumer fraud making you pay fees you can't afford. Obviously one company is the other. I called information for the phone number of National Tracers Association. They couldn't find it and when asked what was the address they said no business by the name of National tracers Service was listed at the address of 2862 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah although that was the address listed on the check. I did get another phone number for National Recovery Services if indeed information gave me the correct number as 801-536-8500
