Review: I received a notice from free credit report.com today that Tate & Kirlin has turned my account over to collections from [redacted] in [redacted], West Virginia for the amount of $200. This account was supposedly opened 7-1-2014. Not only did I not go to [redacted] recently, I don't think I have ever been there, I have received no bill or notification from them at any time. From what I have read on the internet, this seems to happen a lot from this Tate & Kirlin and associates. I do not owe anyone over due money and would like this erased from my credit report. I don't know if they just have the wrong person or if this is some kind of scam.Desired Settlement: I do not require a settlement, I just want this collections charge erased from my credit report, and for what it's worth I think this illegal, but I dont know.

Review: I am constantly being harassed by someone calling from [redacted]. I have done my research and it is from a company called Tate and Kirlin Associates. Their address is [redacted], PA. I am contacting you because they are in your area. They constantly call me at [redacted] at all hours of the day or night for a “[redacted]” even though I do not know [redacted]. I have sent “cease and desist” letter,emails and faxes to them the week of June 30th and still they do not stop. If anything, they got worse after I sent these letters as if to spite me. I have a list of the dates and times that they have called. I have told them via email and I have also called them asking them to stop and they just get nasty and refuse to stop. I do not know what else to do. I am ill and I need my rest. I cannot have them calling me at 5:55 in the morning even after I have told them that it is the wrong number. I recently got my new cellphone at [redacted] and that is when the problem began. Please assist me in this matter. Thank you.Desired Settlement: I want them to stop calling me.

Review: The company is reporting an account on my credit report that does not belong to me. At the time the account was opened, I was living in another state. Since then, I have filed a police report, and FTC affidavit to report the matter. When I contacted the agency I was hung up on repeatedly.Desired Settlement: The company needs to delete fraudulent account from my credit report.

Business

Response:

WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE CREDIT BUREAU TO REMOVE OUR NOTATION. WE HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL TO YOU AND THE CONSUMER

Review: On March 4, 2013 Tate & Kirlin received my certified letter requesting validation of an account they are attempting to collect (2219). I have not received a response. While they are not required under federal law to respond, if they dont respond with proper validation then they are required to cease all collection activity. Proper validaton consts of copies of some type of current creditor records, not records which only verify that the collector believes an account is valid. As of April 7, 2013 they are still reporting a collection account on my credit reports. Under federal law, I could sue them and ask for $1000 per violation, since credit bureau reporting is considered a collection activity. However, I am confident that by channeling this dispute through the Revdex.com, a more simple resolution can be made. If they delete the account, cease reporting it to the credit bureaus, and provide me written confirmation of the same, I will consider this matter resolved. Thank you.Desired Settlement: If they delete account, cease reporting it to the credit bureaus, I will consider this matter resolved.

Business

Response:

We received this account from our client [redacted] The request for deletion from the credit bureau was completed today 4-8-2013.

The account is closed in our office.

We hope this information is helpful to you and the consumer.

Review: I just received this crazy, phony, erroneous letter in the mail trying to say that I owe $22,791 and their going to settle with me for $3, 418. It also states that the previous creditor is called "[redacted]". Well, I wrote the Revdex.com probably about a year ago about this "[redacted]" because I had seen that they had fraudulently slapped on my credit report some crazy thing that I owed about $20,000 to their collection company. This was COMPLETELY FALSE and fraudulent, erroneous, I never ever owed $20,000 or anything like that, so I wrote the Revdex.com and they resolved it for me and [redacted] was forced to remove this false information from my credit report. Now, I get this ridiculous letter from "Tate & Kirlin Associates" about the same thing! This is ridiculous and completely false and I will pursue legal action against this company if they do not remove this false information. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT OWE $20,000....Stop harassing me this is insane. Again, if this does not get resolved I will sue this company for fraudulent practices and making false claims against me.Desired Settlement: I want this company to get my information out of their system and stop sending me threatening, erroneous letters that I need to pay something that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT OWE. If this company does not remove my information, I will be contacting my lawyer immediately.

Review: I received a bill statement in the mail stating that I had been granted an opportunity to resolve a debt at a lower cost. The company that is listed on the list is no one I have ever dealt with. When I called the company to inquire what this was about they wanted more personal information other than the account number that was listed on the letter. This caused me a red flag and I refused to give any personal information. I am a person who knows what debt that I have and this is not one of them. I do not have anything in collections. This disturbs me because these people are getting over on people and just down right wrong. Thanks [redacted]. [redacted]Desired Settlement: I want this company to be put out of business so they cannot take advantage of people who work hard for what he or she has. I want to insure that nothing will appear on my credit report in regard to this claim that is just a scam.

Review: A bill from Tate & Kirlin, a collection agency, sent to our home with my son. We have the same name, I am a junior and he is a third. This bill was for my son. By coincidence, I had an outstanding debt for the exact same dollar amount that had fallen into collections. I asked my wife to pay and she mistakenly paid the one to Tate & Kirlin, since the source of the collection was not identified on the bill, it was the same dollar amount and his name did not appear correctly on the statement. We realized our error when my creditor called looking for the payment I had arranged to pay. Immediately, I called Tate & Kirlin and explained what happened to Steve M. He identified the error and he said we could expect a refund to be mailed out shortly. A payment was never received. I called back a couple of weeks later and Steve M. said the same thing. Nothing came. My wife called back and spoke with Mary T. who also identified the error and said they had to get the money back from the creditor and it would take thirty days. Nothing came. She called back again and spoke with Steve M. in late August, who said a request needed to be made again and a refund would come. No refund has come. I would like to get this situation resolved as soon as possible.Desired Settlement: A refund for $310.40.

Business

Response:

Tate & Kirlin wired refund of $310.40 to customers checking acct. on 8/25/14. Tka called customer on 9/23/14 at 9:00 Am. Customer confirmed receipt of refund
