Late night calls
I got a call from representative after 8 without any clear statement for the reason of her call. Then she says that according to state law she can call me anytime she wants.
Confusing
I received a call from Simms associates from a man named Jonathan saying I owe $80k from a school I did actually attend but was confused because I was paying my loan. They wanted me to pay 80-95% of the amount and didn’t offer me any payment plan.
He also explained my wages would be garnished if I didn’t pay but did not receive any letter in the mail.
I told him I call back and spoke with my loan provider to find out I was paying that school and there’s no record of me defaulting. I called back and he wasn’t at his desk and called 4 days later which I didn’t answer because all the reviews I’ve seen about this company
BAD BAD BAD
Just tried to screw me over too
Simm Associates just called me about my PayPal account and how it's in default and wanted me to set up payments making it sound like they had the charge off account which was believable but being I have had fraud on my account I checked every company out now before I commit to anything unless I know the company itself from previous experience but this company played it so well I even called the company back after I hung up with the representative to find out what the name of the company was and whom I spoke with and the other gentleman I spoke with I told him about all my fraud and he played it off as well then I Googled them and found out all this information well I expect a phone call back at 4:30 so they can book my payments I can't wait to tell them what sleazebags they are and I may even record the call so I can add it to the posting here!
Wrong number doesn't matter!

Simm Associates Debt Collection Review
Simm Associates - Review in Collection Agencies category from Garland, Texas
I agree with the negative reviews. They are harassing, call relatives they have no business contacting just to get you to pay.
My sons student loan came due when he finished his class. My son didn't realize he needed to pay back the loan, he thought it was still on deferrment. They started harassing me too because i cosigned his loan but i told them i couldnt make a payment because im already paying on my sons other student loan. They harass me at home, at work, call other family members, etc and wont work with you to set up a repayment.
They want it all and they want it now.
I would never authorize a transaction over the phone. I would be afraid of them taking out money each month out of my account.
Such a horrible call
I received a call from 844-441-**** from a person named Dennis basically telling me if I didn't call back, my "case" would be referred for legal action. He said his company was called R&A.
I looked up "R&A" - nothing. So i called and a woman on the phone mumbled the name of the company so I asked her to clarify it. Sounded like Richard and sons Associates. Then she said it was Richardson and Associates.
Turns out it's Simms but they use several names to do business.. I finally talked to Dennis and he said he was calling on behalf of a payday loan company that I defaulted on and that if I didn't say I would clear it up today, they would refer it for legal action. He wanted me to confirm my SS# - I said no way and he just kept shouting at me that I needed to confirm that was my number - yes or no. I explained that I would not since I didn't know who was calling and again he said that he was not a collection agency and that he was just trying to verify a debt that I owed for their client.
Again, no more information other than it was from 2010 and they would settle for $980. Dennis got louder and louder as I refused to give him any information or commit to a repayment without seeing some type of documentation or information regarding this loan. He also stated that they had been mailing me information for "at least a year" and I'd been ignoring it (blatantly untrue - I never received anything). He finally just said they would refer it and hung up.
I will definitely report this to my state's GA as well as the BBB.
And, of course, keep an eye on my credit report.
Rude
Called for Someone Else
Preferred solution: Do not call my number again and delete it from your database

We just received a phone call from an associate , who was very rude and threatening. He just wanted to rant and rave.
, Speak out of both side of his mouth . He is the mooooooooooost rude human around .Does he not realize that the law does not allow his type of behavior ?He is calling about something that happened over 2 years ago .
There is no law against rudeness. Pay nothing that is not provided in writing and valid by nature.
Two years may well be within the statute of limitations for legitimate debts, but they must prove their case in an actual court of law.
Do not be intimidated by their act ; any decent actor can scream one minute, sob the next, laugh in minute 3, scream again, etc...a decent actor or a true sociopath. Do not verbally engage with these people and give them no information whatsoever.
