Have been paying them auto pay for years. Sept 2024 payment was returned, so I tried to contact them. Finally found out they are no longer in business. Sold their debt off. I was never notified by them or the new agency. Had to track down who they sold it to, only to find out the new firm is trying to garnish my wages now. Now, I have to hire an attorney.

Why cant I find any phone numbers that work? I have been paying them but I cant find out how much I still owe if anything they take $100 a month for years. I don't know what (I Owe) when ( the term is over) or how long until they send something?

I had a debt I settled back in 2008 with this collections agency. Fast forward to 2024 and I have this same debt sold from Schiff to ****** ***** *** and they are now after me for the same debt (ALREADY PAID IN 2008). Not sure how to resolve this. If you Schiff have my paid paper work please let me know how I can resolve this and maybe bring some credit back to your name. ****** *****

After paying my account in full after nearly 6 months Howard Lee Schiff has come back voiding all my payments. It’s extremely shady that suddenly they’ve closed and you cannot view anything on their website but they can void your payments further destroying your credit.

Was charged so much fees during COVID when I couldn’t pay and called my credit card company, when Howard took over in court he wouldn’t remove any late fees and my debt was around 800$ and I’m paying over 1900 for this debt. He wouldn’t budge on anything at all.

My true opinion of this company is there not willing to help people what so ever!! I’ve settled with other debt collectors no problem these crooks won’t budge to help me I tried to with no luck and they put a lien on my house which I never heard of this happening to hard working folks like me I wanted to give them a fair offer I was told nooooooo where getting it all. So my dealing with them is there definitely a horrible company. I’d go with zero stars that’s fitting to that company!!!!! 

Business response:

*** ***** Thank you for your feedback. I am unable to locate your file with the name you have given. If you would like to provide me with additional information, I will research this further for you. There are times when we are not permitted to do what consumers ask us to do. In most cases, that is because we have clients who give us instructions, and we are required to follow those instructions. Please keep in mind that you are not our customer. BBB calls this a "Customer Review," but that is not the case. We cannot represe... read more

These are horrible people preying on those that are going through misfortune. They work for debt collectors. They have repeatedly lied about sending out paperwork. They lied that they would work with me but reneged on their promise. They have added erroneous fees bloating the original amount owed. These people are the worst. Stay clear. I wouldn't allow they to do a simple legal task after messing up my life 

Business response:

After a review of *** ************ case, it appears that a judgment entered against her in 2017. At that time, she was ordered to make payments of $35/week. No payments were ever made, so a wage execution was issued in order to enforce the judgment. ****************called our office and asked us to release the wage execution, but we cannot do that since there are marshal fees involved at this point. She spoke to an attorney, and was directed to call the clerk's office about it. There have been no "lies" about sending out pap... read more

Unscrupulous, morally devoid, not to be trusted-Had Attorney ****** negotiate a debt to **** ** ******* charge account to settle for 75 % of owed amount-paid in lump sum, they returned check no reason-having served me summons in Superior Court, I sued them and ***in District Court for $10,00000. Pending. The reason in their denial of motion to dismiss to the Court-Attorney ******is not now working for me and the agreement was not finalized. Chase settled in the same time frame 50 % and this already shows in my credit report.... read more

Business response:

We disagree with the statements by *** ******* in his “Customer Review.”* *** ******* owes a balance on his **** ** *******credit account. In November 2020, our office was contacted by his attorney, Marshall ******. Attorney T***** wanted to refinance the Mr. W******’s home to pay off this debt. Our office was in contact with Attorney T***** relative to this matter, and he was given an offer to settle this debt. He responded with a low counteroffer which we were unable to accept. While these discussions were on-going, a comp... read more

I would give these idiots a zero if I could. I have been out of work since March of this year because of COVID. They submitted a case against me which I answered in July and said that I could start paying March 2021. That wasn't good enough for them. Now I have a virtual court hearing with them on December 15th. Today is December 11th and I just got the letter from the court. My mother has to have major spine surgery on December 21st and we are meeting with her entire surgery team on December 15th. I don't have a fax machine... read more
