This collections company keeps calling my job. I've told them time and time again to stop. I've suggested them to take me to court and to quit calling my job. I work in a call center the phone lines are for customers and family emergencies. I cannot have personal phone calls. They call very rude and unprofessional. I can't get any information their telephone number is 855-868-2577. Please make them stop calling my job before I get fired.

    It may be that your landline is set up to block disclosure of your number, and their number is set up to block calls that block number disclosure.

    If you call an 800 number, normally they can snag your number regardless of whether you block it.

      "Employment verification" is a common illegal debt collection tactic used as cover for illegal third party disclosure, as part of debt collection shakedown rackets.

      In the absence of already having a judgement in hand, there is NO legitimate reason for any debt collector to "verify employment".

    I just received a call from TSR, they said I owed a payday loan. They told me that I owed $515.00 and if I did not pay them that they would call my job to verify employment... when I asked them if they could send me something they told me no they couldn't..... then they would take me to court for over $14,000. Can they do that?

        Complaints are reporting illegal collections in violation of FDPCA, including falsely implying "lawsuits", using threats to evade validation, and attempted collection on faked "payday loans".

        Most collection agencies do not show this pattern of complaints, whereas debt collectors caught engaging in fraudulent collection often show these and similar violations.

        If you are receiving threats from a debt collector, or they are evading your attempts to obtain documented proof of the alleged debt, file complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General, and get an attorney.

    Please call the Federal Trade Comm at 877-382-4357 on this company. I received several calls from them today requesting money and threatening to call my job and verify employment to attach a garnishment to my wages. I made a complaint with the FTC and obtained a claim#...FTC told me this was a SCAM!!!!!! They requested the phone numbers that they called from and if this was a reallo collection agency they would have stated the "Mini-Miranda" as well as sent notification in the mail. TRS refused to provide the fax number and address..they gave me inaccurate information regarding checking account numbers and email information. THIS IS A SCAM!!!! They tried to get me to pay them $500 via a pre paid debit card. The people that called were so rude, they called me at work 6 times within a 20 minute period. They represented themselves as Jeff Jackson, Sherry Williams and Ms. Bradford-she wouldn't provide a first name. They called from 855-868-2577. Any real collection company knows the FDCPA Act and would be reluctant to violate in the manner in which they have. This is a SCAM- do not waste your time, hang up and notify the police, state attorney general, FTC and record all phone calls with them...I have done all of this and they are investigating this. Additionally, another place was calling me stating that they were an Officer Albert and when called back, they kept hangin up the phone in my attempt to get their company's information.

    The number you list, 855-868-2577, is showing a number of complaints consistent with a fake "payday loan debt collection" scam, including other reports of abusive, threatening, and deceptive collection tactics.  

    The complaints agasint this number are consistent with fraudulent collection of fake "debts".

    This is my second post.  I thought this had stopped but I have received more rude disposition phone calls from an Alex Gaffney at 508-947-9433 stating "you know what this about" and "that my attorney or myself needs to call back and make a statement about this matter" since they have to make a decision on what is on their desk."  This is getting ridicuious since this guy also contacted people out of state asking for my numbers, and when the person refused then Alex "stated what kind of mother are you", but the person replied "hopefully the same kind as your mother".  The ironic issue is that the person, Alex called is not my mother.   I will file a complaint with the appropiate agencies and if this guy continues, I will sue since I have no idea what issue this is about and I have not received anything in the mail, all I have is the above name and number which I googled and found supposely it is TRS.  But if this is legtimate then Alex needs to be more professional and tactful and provide details according to the law.

    Just off the phone with Alex Gafney of TRS. Even though I am clearly NOT the correct person he is chasing down.....he persisted in asking probing questions about my life, my job, my family and my extended family in trying to figure out how he needs would be best served. That is after leaving several threatening message on my home phone for all my family to hear over the dinner tabel........Dear.....Mr.. S......my office has been trying to reach you for several days in hopes of avoid needing to pursue legal course on a very serious manner.....blah, blah, blah.....I would hate to be good at his job.......Anything that I can help to do to nail this guy would be modest satisfaction.......Again, I am NOT even a person of interest to him and he still harassed me.....several calls, several threats, several intimidating verbal comments.......unbelievable.

    TRS has a history of complaints of harassing and abusive calling, that may be difficult to stop even when they are calling the wrong number.  As you found from your direct conversation, it is not likely that he will cease harassing you for any common sense reason.

    It is illegal, violating FDCPA, for debt collectors to engage in abusive, threatening, or deceptive collection.  That applies even when they subject you to it "by mistake".  Run that recording by an attorney.  You may be able to sue both TRS and the specific employee who left that message, for violating FDCPA.  FDCPA allows courts to award actual and statutory damages, as well as attorney fees, if you win.

    If all they are doing is calling, then they probably don't have any garnishment order, since that would have to be mailed to be effective, if the employee were still there.  

    "Employment verification" is used by unethical debt collectors as an implied threat to embarass the alleged debtor and disclose the debt to the employer.  

    The other possibility is that this is a fake "payday loan debt collector".  They commonly call employers to deliberately harass their targets, since they are basically extortion rackets.  They often get consumer information, including SSN, DOB, addresses, bank account numbers, and employers, through fake "payday loan application" websites.  

    Many of these criminal operations are foreign, often calling from India.

    Again, this follows the pattern of the fake "payday loan" extortion rackets.  They may be using TRS name as part of their scam.

    Calls to employers, threats rather than validation, trumped up lawsuit threats ("$14000") all point to a scam.

    Two ways you can handle this if you can get a real name from the person you are talking to because i'm sure they use fake names, get it then sue the so called collector don't even try for the company the company will go underground all their stuff is leased they have nothing for you to get they have nothing to loose but if you report them to the attorney general now that is criminal they cant run from that theses people are a scam and just want your money DON'T DUE IT PLEASE their is a law firm here in Texas that has suits on these ppl before, they change their name and move every time please contact the attorney general office in your state.This has to stop. then the so called collectors their wont have a chance with a real collections company they cant collect without the treats that's a no no, so please do your part make that call and know your rights.this company has changed their number now i do believe every scammer there has their own # to their little desk now and they did away with the 855 # so multiple numbers can call now.
