(800) 731-7766

My wife got scammed by this place. A warning popped up on her laptop that somene had hacked her computer. Shew as told to call Micrsofot Windows 10 fraud dept. Long story short, they got into her computer and quickly hacked 4100 off her discover card.

Do not answer

The reason they won't take action a***nst them is because it's not a scam. Which I am sure they told you, but you probably thought your post would sound better if you left that part out, right?

They called me too. The same number #260. And so did chase, for Joseph Blanche.

holy s**T! 1.800.731.7766 #260 calls me for Joseph Blanche! SO DOES CHASE! He obviously doesn't know his number. I keep calling back but they won't let me take my number off. If any1 has any info about this PLEASE tell me.

Jessica Lawlor does not live here anymore

This number calls everyday and leaves a message that they have put a check through my bank and there were non-suficiant funds and to call back right away. This is completely false and I am tired of the deceptive calls everyday on my message ma****e. They are also contacting my cell phone when they have been told not to and leaving messages that they are going to sue if I do not call. What a load of abusive ****!

This company calls even when you tell them not to. I refuse to work with a 3rd party collector, and no longer answer their calls

Been in the telecom industry, I can tell you s****ing is illegal, you can always use other resources to follow thru. You may want to contact The US attorney general, the FCC as well as the FTC. Also if this is interstate you can actually contact the FBI. Based on the law, they cannot contact you at your place of business. They are only legally able to contact you at your home; you can also send a stop and desist letter via certified mail.Record their conversation, when you speak to them if you do, many of them have no clue of the law and make drastic mistake threatening people.  They can't make any statements in which they can destroy your credit, call your family, call your work and or tell everybody that you have debts and you do not pay, this is protected by the law. In this case now you have the upper hand, as now they open the door for a lawsuit, you can actually sue the person that called you as well as the company as they are liable for any statement of guaranty that they make, almost any attorney will take this type of cases on contingency. Is an infringement of your rights and punish by law. This people use scare tactics to scare people and even collect many times the same debts that have been paid previously. If you speak to them  ask them to send the do***ent in which it shows you owe any money in general they no longer have it so they cannot prove you owe any.The reality is nothing that they can do to you, if you do not or can't pay, they must take you to court and get a judgment a***nst you, and then they need to be able to collect. Of course they must serve you first and have proof of such.You want to get even, call then day in and day out, to their numbers use redial, and have anybody that you know do the same, do it day in and day out, that will shut down their PBX system, if they do it to you do it to them.Yes annoying, but effective if ***dreds of people do the same and saturate their phone lines.Let me give you info on some of the worse in the USA.You also can talk directly to the company that you owe money and make a settlement, in many cases for example let say you owe them 15,000.00 they will settle for much less, also make sure they do not report you to the IRS for the full amount if not you will be force to pay taxes on the portion unpaid, Make sure they clean your credit if not is no purpose of having a settlement, make sure you get all in writing first. Also ask them to send the do***ent in which it shows you owe any money in general they no longer have it so they cannot prove you owe any.RGS Financial http://www.rgsfinancial.com/P.O.

Go to sue4abuse.com and ask for Julie or Ian Lingklip! They only practice consumer law and this VKI can't do what he's saying AND Val & Kreb people cannot contact you (with the exception of ONE final written communica) a***n if you write them and tell them they can't!!... I had a collection company pay LOTS of money for contacting my neighbors! And for continuing to call after I recorded a call where I told them DO NOT CALL A***N!

We are a business and we repeatedly get calls from this 800-731-7766 that are **** ups. I have called to inquire why and was trasferred to about six different people. None being very helpful. Did finally get that they were Valentine and Kebartas a Collection Agency. After going through about 8 of our business #s with them and them not being able to pull a name for any of our numbers, I gave up. Or should I say I was rudely told that he would try one more # for me and that's it. This is after they call our business at least once a day sometimes 2 and 3 and **** up.

Got 2 calls this morning, just the number on caller ID, no name. Checked into and found this thread of postings. Have put the number on my reject call list on my phone.To Paula:  Call them one more time. Advise them you are recording the call and that you want the letter they have said they would send indicating the settled account. Then tell them you will follow up with a written request. Send the written request to their corporate address via certified mail, return receipt. That way you have proof you sent the letter and proof they received it. Be sure that on your letter you reference the USPS tracking or serial number of the return receipt ticket. And make sure you keep a copy of the letter for yourself.  It's a bit of work, and will cost about 5 bucks for the postage, but it's worth it.  They will know you mean business.

Settled an account with Valentine and Kebartas 11 months ago .. I am still waitng for a letter stating that the account is settled! I continue to call and they keep telling me they are going to email it to me, numerous times. Any ideas on what I can do now?

Someone call my mom house asking for Dudley Boudreaux to call them it was in emergency. Why they are call my mother I have no clue? I called the phone number and I get a recording, so I left my name and number. No one has returned my call yet. This is crazy, hope ya'll can stop this from happening to other people.

I OWE A BILL BUT THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT TAKE AN MONEY NOE TAKE WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THEM, THEM CALL, 8 TIMES ADAY THE SAME TIME

They call my house repeatedly looking for someone who has never lived at this address, and we've had this phone number for 13 years--don't know if he had it before, but how bad do you have to be at your job to use info that's over 13 years old? Tried to straighten it out; first they ***g up on me. Now they promised to remove the number. We'll see.

A John Anderson,  from 876 333 4418 called my friend to tell her she won 700.000 and need her to withdraw $700 and wire it to this other woman and then they will bring the check and car. Can anything be done about a scam like thisThank you.Eva***-322-1893

Got a call from Valentine & Kebartas about a Dell computer leased from a company I used to work for.  I have no****ociation with that company any more and don't know why they called me.

call phone like 20 times a day and calls before 8am

Keeps calling numerous times even on weekends. Refuses to talk to spouse. And obviously refuses to take our number off of their lists. Refuses to send letters just calls and annoys. They have been warned to stop calling this is without a doubt harassment. I have back traced this number to VALENTINE & KEBARTAS even though it showed up as Unavailable on caller ID.

Seems to be a scam.  I am VERY good about paying all my bills and have no debt -- I got a call from "Linda" last night on my answering ma****e.  It has to be phishing or they've just decided to call every single "me" in the phone book and hope one fits.

Got a message on my voicemail from a brusk "Linda" last night -- This has to be a phishing scam in my case or they're calling all the "me"s in the phone book because I owe no one money and have no debt (sorry to those of you who do -- don't hate me).  I also ordered a copy of my credit report to make sure my iden***y hasn't been stolen but this phone call has me worried that someone is charging up debt in my name.  Also... it is so very sketchy the way these collectors seem to never tell you where they're from when they're calling.

they are looking for "stacy" i have told them that they have the wrong number, but they still call. "stacy" must of had this number before me, its a cell phone.

THEY ARE CALLING EVERYONE IN MY APT COMPLEX   LOOKING FOR ME .  WHY DONT THEY CALL ME .

they keep calling me too and i am sick and tired of it....i have never owned a dell and after this never will!!!!!!

They constantly call about an account I previously had with Dell Financial Services.  The account in question was part of a debt settlement arrangement (that Dell agreed to) when I became unemployed.  Now, Valentine and Karbartas is attempting to collect on a debt that was already settled.  Seem to be somewhat shady.

COntacted me back in APRIL. Advised an Angie to not contact my work and to send a statement. I had no idea WHAT they were calling for. I do have dept, but two items were disputes with original merchants and I had no idea if she was calling about those two. I got calls from two other reps (no mail from these people by the way) over the next couple of months. In June is when it really escalated. I got a call from an Antonio. He actually called my phone three times @ 5pm when I was leaving. twice he ***g up, once he left a voicemail. He called a***n before 8am on June 19th. I told him I advised his company not to call me already and asked for a fax # which he provided. I wrote up a notice and faxed it over. He called me a***n a few times and s****ed to get beligerant. I advised I just sent him a C&D notice and he is still calling? he called me a liar and said I sent nothing and he never gave me a fax number. UH YEA YOU DID! He called a couple of more times. We finally had a seemingly grown up conversation. He admitted that my account was in fact noted NOT to contact me at work from back in April. I explained A***N they are not to call me at work. I have no other number. He cannot only send me noticed. I requested a notice and I got FOUR in the mail a few weeks later on the same day. Thats nice! He called my office yes****ay and left a message stating so****ing along the lines that my account was pending escalation to litigation (keep in mind these guys are NOT an attorneys office, nor do they OWN my debt, nor do they have any capabilities to take it to court) Antonio called me seven times on 7/16/09 in a four minute time frame. So. I am contacting a NY attorney. This agency has enough pending lawsuits a***nst them. they really should be shut down. These collections tactics are ALL ILLEGAL. if you have ANY debt you should MOST DEFFINITELY read the FDCPA. You have rights!!!! You are NOT a bad person because you have debt, and companies like this should be shut down for the **** they pull!! Valentine & Kebartas needs to be shut down!!!!

got a call from them at work; said it was "a personal matter"; i got a laugh out of it. extension #287 was given and i'm supposed to ask for pamela. what's going on?

VALENTINE & KEBARTAS, a collection agency based in lawrence mass

received a call from Tim Pelletier a representative of VALENTINE & KEBARTASPhone #1-800-731-7766 Ext 338

call at all hours of the day, don't identify who they are, what they want.

We purchased as system from Dell and when we could not make the payments because of no Money coming in, they turned it over to Valentine and Kebartas.  We get sometimes 5 to 10 calls a day from them.  They are representing themselves as the Law Offices of Valentine and Kebartas.  I have contancted them concerning this and have asked them for information as to who they are and for them to prove that they represent dell and they will not provide us any information (we have since settled with Dell) and they will not stop calling us.  they say we still owe them.  The want us to make a credit card payment to them over the phone.  When we say we will not, they get pretty nasty with us.  They have called all hours of the day including after and before legal hours.

Amy ext 243 called stateing they are a collections agency or a law firm that they represent dell ( Dell does not have a third party collections agency) wants a ballance of $2500 paid off which is wrong, spoke with dell financial they dont know who the company is.

Kept calling me for a Marion El Acontar or so****ing like that. Connected and told them it's the wrong number and they just ***g up on me. Rude people.

The Trash Company.............

Pre-recorded call stating, "Our records indicate your credit cards have been compromised". At that point I **** up, this is an obvious fraud looking to steal personal information. I notified the FTC and the *****chusetts Attorney Generals Office, neither would take any action a***nst these people. I guess they pay off the poli***ions to well.

said I owe a very large amount from a charge card ( Chase Bank) I dont have....company name Valentine & Carvartes was to speak to a joshua carter 1-800-731-7766 ext 407...

They got my number at work, and called during my office/work hours. This interrupts my work time and performance. Call at home or don't call at all.

This caller contacted my parttime job.which in my state of wisconsin is illegal.

ANOTHER AGENCY LOOKING FOR FOR THE WRONG PERSON. I KEEP TELL ING THEM WRONG NUMBER THEY DONT BELIEVE ME IM ACTUALLY QUITE TIRED OF THIS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A PHILOMENA HACKO OR SO****ING

my brother been getting harassment calls from a guy name Andre Fabian who said he worked for Valentine and Kebartas,and he called to collect a debt for credit one in the balance of $500.00 when my brother told him he can only send what he can afford he asked my brother what about $150.00? my brother told him he can't afford to send him that much because he is not working,he asked my brother for his bank information, and asked my brother if he plan on filing taxes this year?anyway my brother told him he can send him a $100.00 money order, he told my brother they dont accept money order, what collection place dont accept money order? but he told my brother to western union and to put it in his name, my brother did, and he haven't send my brother any statement, i told my brother dont send him any more money until he send him a statement he have that right or just report him to the state attorney office.

They called and left a message to call back regarding a fedel hamis. I don't even know this person. I called back and they switched me to three different people, all of who I told that I did not know this person and to stop calling. The final woman they placed me to looked it up and said she couldnt find him, and she didnt know and then rudely ***g up on me. I can't stand rude people!

Had a voice mail on a corporate cell phone from these guys indicating that they were an attorneys office - they are not, not even close. Appear to only be licensed in the state of *****chusetts so reporting them from Florida would be a waist of time. The rep Chris CLEARLY said 'From the law offices of Valentine and Kebartas' and we have it recorded and transcribed into digital WAV and MP3 format and submitted to our legal department. The kicker is it was a wrong number since the name they were asking for does not match anyone at our organization.All beware - these guys must be bottom feeders to resort to misrepresentations such as this! We have been advised to record any future communications (if any) with Valentine and Kebartas - legal in the State of Florida without second party notification or consent, check with your state for statutes regarding phone recordings.

they called and left a message and wanted me to call them regarding another person I don't know. I called them and told them my nameand they couldn't even tell the purpose of their call. I kept asking what type of company they were and he (****ell) couldn't give me an exact type of businessthey have. That made me very su****ious, so I looked them up here and found out about this website , and I want to report them

continues to call when we have ask them to stop calling

Why are they calling me? I don't own a dell or any cc's. I am not in debt. they called early in the morining. Phone rang twice then stopped ringing. I hope they don't call a***n. From what I have read they are real ****s!

Have been recieving harrasing calls for months from these people. They have claimed to be the IRS performing an audit and then proceeded to pass me along to a "negotiator" who****cused me of being a theif by using a chase credit card. They have harrased my work and now are calling my private cell phone. I have offered them money and they won't take it...every person that calls refuses to listen to me, I repeat the same thing every day and I finally told them to sue me...they still call every day with various lies to get me to call them back and if I answer I get lied to more so they can pass me along to someone else to badger me more...they lie to you constantly on what they will take, do etc. This is the most horrible, conniving, harrassing collection agency I have ever seen and the lies and badgering are outrageous!! Calling at ALL hours of the night, weekend, days, multiple times (as in 22 times in a row)

your rights :The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is federal law which regulates the activities of those who regularly collect debts from others. Many states have adopted similar laws regulating the practices of debt collectors.A debt collector:may contact you by mail, in person, by telephone or by telegram during "convenient hours" (commonly between 8 AM and 9 PM)may not contact you at work if the collector knows or has reason to know that the employer forbids employees from being contacted by debt collectors at the workplacemay not contact you if you are represented by a lawyer (the debt collector must then contact your attorney)may not continue to contact you after you have sent him/her a letter telling him/her not to contact you (however, s/he may contact you to tell you that some specific action is going to be taken)may not contact you after you send him/her a letter by mail within thirty days of the first contact that you dispute all or part of the debt (however, s/he may begin collection activities a***n if s/he sends you proof of the debt)must within five days of the first contact send you a written notice stating the name of the creditor you owe money to, the amount of money you owe, what to do if you believe you do not owe the money, and the name of the original creditor if different from the current creditor (because the debt was sold or****igned to someone other than the original creditor)may not threaten violence a***nst you or your property, use obscene or profane language, repeatedly telephone you to annoy or harass you, make you accept collect telephone calls or pay for telegrams, or use false or misleading information in an effort to collect the "debt"If a debt collector violates the law, it is your right to write a letter concerning the activity to the nearest office of the Federal Trade Commission (you can find the address and telephone number in the front of the "white pages" of your local telephone directory under federal government listings). You can file a federal or state lawsuit a***nst the debt collector for violation of the law, although there is usually a one year "statute of limitation"; that is, the lawsuit must be filed within one year of the violation, to recover the actual damages that you have suffered, as well as up to a $1,000 in an individual lawsuit or $5,000 in a class-action lawsuit for each violation, plus attorney fees and costs.

Not sure who there are but they have called people we barely communicate with trying to reach us. I have no idea how they got their number. I am disgusted that they would call someone that we don't even really know. How did they get their number. We only owe one creditor and that is chase bank. I would****ume that this company collects for them.

This company was notified in writing, that all communiction was to done in writing and they are not allowed to call, under Federal Consumer Credit laws. But they continue to call numbers that they are forbidden to contact.

They call all of the time, threatening to sue. Only have a very small period of time to settle debt. They won't work with you and prefer to harass you.

Kept receiving calls from Valentine & Kebartas after my bankrupcty case was filed.  There is a "30 day stay" after you file and creditors are not supposed to call or harrass you.  Valentine and Kebartus were blatantly disregarding the law leading me to believe that Dell Computers is an unscrupulous company as well.  I will never purchase another computer from Dell.

This is a collections law firm that collects for Dell. These people are s***. They call and demand payment with out telling you who they are. They threaten you with jail time if you dont pay your bill with in 48 hours of them calling you. They harrass, degrade & humiliate people until they finally break down and give them some sort of payment information for them to drain your bank account.

call from 1-800-731-7766 ext 378 Mr Derrick Jensen accused me of being someone else and threatened to serve papers on me as using an alais. Said I owed money to jc penney

Man named Richard Steel called and said he was representing a law firm--Valentine and Kebartis. Dell Financial Services wanted to sue me for failure to pay. I told him I have never done business with Dell. He verified my address and said I was the wrong Jennifer F.; the correct one lived 3 counties away. He was pleasant, but how do you make that mistake?

This lady called harrassing our employees looking for someone that does not work here, does not have a spouse that works here and never has.  I am only allowed to verify employment, I told her that this person does not work here.  She is so RUDE.  She actually first spoke to one of our employees with the same last name as the person she is looking for and harassed them over the phone.  She said her name was Ms. Jeretz (sp?).  This is a place of business.  They need to get their information straight before harassing business offices.

A Steve Simone left a message regarding his client, Dell Financial.  I had an issue with Dell concerning a lease buyout and eventually settled it through the Washington State Attorney General with correspondence from both Dell and Washington SAG saying the account was paid in full and the State case was closed.  Regardless I have recieved calls from IC Systems, a Dell collection agency, and now Valentine & Kebartas.  I would strongly discourage anyone from leasing computers from Dell Computers.  I am reopening my case file with the SAG.
