A client received a harassing call from 866-971-2193 claiming that they were taking them to court over unpaid debt. This client had just filed bankruptcy and the claim was false as all debts were included in the bankruptcy filing. Our office called the collection company operating under the name of URG and spoke to "supervisor" Tonya Barns at ext 271. She would not provide my office with a mailing address or any company information to send a a cease calling letter and to lodge formal complaint for Consumer Federal Protection Bureau violations. They are either buying bad debt and illegally continuing to collect on it; or are sourcing publicly available bankruptcy records to prey on consumers for quick cash.
