(800) 706-6208

I got the same call today in my cellphone as of today!... but i don't trust this company if i were you.  Yes you and I maybe drawning from debt but who is to blame but ourselves.  This time of hardship - we must dicipline ourselves.  Lets s**** from paying down our debt how? I don't know.  maybe pay more alit bit than a minimum in one card then until it gets paid off then the next card lets do the same thing.  And lets see how we progress.  Second discipline is we must stop buying I myself can't stop buying i dont really need but i'm doing my part now as in now not to buy things i don't need.  ... let's give it a try guys there's nothing to lose.   we're already drawning so we might as well save our own.  goodluck to us.

Phil called from Financial Freedom, a US Gov't organization in the Banking Dept., Dept. of Treasury. Gave address as [no street #] Hiatus Road and website as southeasttrust.com. They don't have a written DNC policy, and have called before. Phil claims he got my name/# from Equifax. 954-746-3126 showed on cell phone caller ID

I received a message on my cell phone exactly like grace.Why has this been going on for over two years...and they still haven't been stopped?

I received almost the exact same message as Nora, only the message was from Cathy with Southeast Trust (instead of Financial Freedom), and instead of "You may recall receiving a letter..." It said, "we're responding to your online inquiry." You've been approved to consolidate you credit cards to as low as a 1.5% interest rate. This is not a new loan; you have already been approved by a certified non-profit agency. So if you can please have your statements ready when you call, my number is 1-800-706-6208. A***n, may name is Cathy and you can reach me at 1-800-706-6208 until 10 tonight.

I received the very same call on my cell phone.  I later called the number to investigate.  They proposed a credit card reduction plan to me under the Obama plan.  I said I would like to think out this and give them a call back. After speaking with them, I called my creditors myself and they said they had no knowledge of the Obama plan.  BUYER BE BEWARE!!!

Same deal ie; Financial Freedom 1.5% 800-706-6208 Kathy etc., on 7/30/2009 @ 9:30am caller ID for this call was 402-982-0718.

We receive these calls daily at our company.  Please stop!!

They call me a***n! Wont be pretty!

These people are calling cell phones, which is illegal. They left a message on my cell phone voice mail saying I'd been "pre-approved" for their credit and should call back with my "do***ents." Nine chances in ten it's an iden***y theft operation.

Received the identical message on my cell today (12-11-2008). When I called the number back I was told that they use an auto-dialer, since my cell is on the Do Not Call Registry. I also asked if they had run a credit check on me since the language states that I am "pre-approved" and was told they did not.I did not attempt to opt out of them calling because often that is how they verify a number is valid and they will just keep calling it.Their number did not show up as a missed call, it went straight to voice mail.

I received the same message as Nora (thank you):"Hi, this is Cathy with financial freedom. You may recall receiving a letter saying that you have been approved to consolidate you credit cards down to as low as a 1.5% interest rate. This is not a new loan; you have already been approved by a certified non-profit agency. So if you can please have your statements ready when you call, my number is 1-800-706-6208. A***n, may name is Cathy and you can reach me at 1-800-706-6208 until 10 tonight."

Phone Number Owner: Southeast Trust,LLC d/b/a The Debt School.Phone Number Report: The Debt School, LLC a florida limited liability company recently c****ed its corporate name in Florida to Southeast Trust, LLC. They offer debt consolidation services to individuals and for business they offer supposed discount credit card processing services. The purpose of these calls is to get hold of your bank account information. Southeast Trust or The Debt School (or whatever they may call it today) is a typical boiler room operation run by an infamous telemarketer and spammer couple by the names of Paul Adam Wexler [Social Security Number 553-47-6555]and his wife Jenine Renee (Grossman) Wexler [Social Security Number 551-67-1834]. The Wexlers live either at 3850 E. Coquina Way, Weston Florida 33332 or at 1947 Harbor View Circle Weston Florida 33327. The Wexlers have been previously been fined $15,000 in October 2006 by the state of Missouri and recently subject to a cease-and-desist order in Indiana for spamming operations. The Wexlers filed Bankruptcy in Colorado in 2003. The Debt Schools accountants are: Siegelaub and****ociates PA of 2881 University Drive in Pompano Beach Florida 33065. I am not sure how it is done but the spamming phone calls appear to originate from the Richmond Beach section of S****line in the state of Washington. There appear to be a group of telephone lines and numbers all tied together which are listed as supposedly belonging to King VanLines. The telephone numbers are: 206-629-8606;206-629-5676;206-629-8614;206-629-8615;206-629-8636;206-629-8639;206-629-8642;206-629-8655;206-629-8662;206-629-8664;206-629-8671;206-629-8673;206-629-8674;206-629-8675;206-629-8676;206-629-8678;206-629-8691;206-629-8693;206-629-8694;206-629-8695;206-629-8697.There appear to be several versions of the recorded spamming calls. They are all from a "Cathy" and sometimes claims that she from 'Financial Freedom'. Each of the calls directs you to call 1-800-706-6208. The current registered address for Southeast Trust is: 4700 Hiatus Road, Suite 256 Sunrise Florida 33351. The telephone number is 866-396-9996. The website is thedebtschool.com. I suspect that the calls are all probably received at the Sunrise address.

Same situation as many mentioned above.  I called that 800 number back. Now you have an option to enter your number to be removed from their database.  I hope they won't call me a***n.

This is for a debt management plan and is an alternative to bankruptcy.  Please be aware that if you enter such a plan, you will not be able to get any new credit or borrow any money while you are in the program.  Most people who enter into DMP's are better off with a Debt Settlement company, or filing for bankruptcy.  If you do go into a DMP, please make sure you check the company out thouroughly as the FTC has many warnings due to the high number of these companies that are nothing more than scams. Don't be fooled by the term non-profit as in most cases the owner simply pays himself what would be profits in the form of a bonus.

I received a telephone message at my work on 6/26/08 from a lady leaving a message similar to the one described by others in this webpage.

I have received the same message several times on my cell.  It is exactly what Nora wrote,  "Hi, this is Cathy with financial freedom. You may recall receiving a letter saying that you have been approved to consolidate you credit cards down to as low as a 1.5% interest rate. This is not a new loan; you have already been approved by a certified non-profit agency. So if you can please have your statements ready when you call, my number is 1-800-706-6208. A***n, may name is Cathy and you can reach me at 1-800-706-6208 until 10 tonight."

OK, after some research, here is the information.I've verified that the company "Financial Freedom" is actually a business name for "The Debt School".  The address for the Debt School is 4700 Hiatus Road Suite 256, Sunrise, FL  33351 and the website is www.thedebtschool.com.  The BBB report for The Debt School is at:http://www.bbbsoutheastflorida.org/B***eb/For ... pan***=23006932While the callback number on the message is 800-706-6208, the caller ID comes up as 206-629-8606, which is a non-working number.  That in itself is a violation of telemarketing laws to my understanding.File a complaint with the FCC at http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm.  Make sure you list the company's name as "The Debt School d/b/a Financial Freedom".

someone called my cell from 1-206-629-8606, scam?

someone called my cell from 1-206-629-8606

I was called at work and I work for a legitimate financial counseling agency. I thought it was odd to get a pre-recorded call like that at work so I did some investigating. It turns out that the calls are from an out of the country point of origin which cir***vents United States FTC regulations. The only thing anyone can do is never return the calls. Sadly, the calls will take months to stop

I got the same message today at about 10 AM on my office desk phone.The number on my phone says it's from 12066298606, but the VM is just exactly like what Nora said above. This is second time I am getting this. I received the same some time before.

This was the call content:Hi, this is Cathy with financial freedom. You may recall receiving a letter saying that you have been approved to consolidate you credit cards down to as low as a 1.5% interest rate. This is not a new loan; you have already been approved by a certified non-profit agency. So if you can please have your statements ready when you call, my number is 1-800-706-6208. A***n, may name is Cathy and you can reach me at 1-800-706-6208 until 10 tonight.
