While checking my credit report, I noticed an inquiry from this company. I'm trying to slowly re-establish my credit status after some life issues and while I do owe some money out, my debt isn't all that bad. The only inquiry (which affects my FICO score) is from this company for no reason!

I haven't applied for any credit lately and quite frankly don't know why they would inquire about my credit status in the first place! If they're trying to collect a debt, knocking down my credit rating isn't going to help!

They called on 5/13/09 and told us if we didnt pay what they wanted they would sue us and we would be paying all court costs so if we were smart we better pay up. They were rude and nasty and I also lost my temper with them as well. I kept trying to explain I was a laid off auto worker and my wife recently had a quintiple heart bypass.I have 26 dollars in my checking but they want to know since my house has not been current for months what am I do with that money?I could not get them to understand we have no money so I said good bye.

My wife was extremley upset so she called the next day 5/14 to see again if we could get a hardship arrangement. She has memory loss and confusion problems so they got her to agree to a ept on 5/31 and 6/30. They were very agressive and nasty so she was scared.

When I found out she had down this we did some research online and found out scare tactics are how this company works.She called our bank and they said to call and tell them our account has been frozen due to fradulant behavior.They hit the roof ,said we were liars and now we had till 3:00 tp pay my wife just hung up.I think Id rather go to court than send money to this company.Help!

This T. Stevenson contacyed me at my place of business and told me that I owed 900 + dollars for a credit card from 1998. I respectully asked why he was calling me at my place of employment and that he remove this # from his list and that I do not owe any money to them. he got very aggressive...told me he would continue to call me and demanded that I pay him . I refused to speak any more then he started to disclose personal information about me and then I told him to stop calling. He said he will continue to call and didn't care if I lost my job because of it. I am extremely upset and scared of what this man will do with my personal information and also get me fired by harassing myself and others at my place of employment.

As a result of once being an irresponsible teenager with a credit card, I'm not paying Leading Edge Recovery Solutions for a Chase Manhattan card I used to have. I've been paying 40.20/month for the past 12 months. Today, I received a call from Leading Edge saying that my hardship period had run out and I had to pay the remaining balance in full. When I explained that wasn't an option, they tried to say that my payment per month would have to be increased to 50/month. I explained that as a full time student, I don't have a lot of extra money and I would have to stick to my 40.20/month plan.

When they heard that, they resorted to intimidation and scare tactics telling me that if I didn't agree to the higher amount they would be forced to put me on a calling list; calling me everyday until I could agree to the 50/month. Eventually, I was transferred to a supervisor who played good guy and acted like he was doing me a favor by allowing me to stay on my current payment plan, but informed me that he would be calling me back in 6 months to try to boost the amount I'm paying... After reading other complaints about this company, I'm worried that I may be getting ripped off. Does anyone know if I can contact Chase Manhattan directly or if I have to continue dealing with Leading Edge???

Received a call from this company stating that we owed approximately 3,000 on an MBNA account that has been closed since 1998. We have never heard anything about this until this month when they called. We advised that we do not owe anything and for them to forward some correspondence in writing demonstrating that we owed any debt and who they were. They refused to provide any documentation and continue to call knowing that no debt is owing at all.

We are being harrassed and threatened causing extreme emotional distress.

Female caller asked me for my name and SSN. When I asked her why she stated it was a personal matter. She then asked me if it was me except she called me by my maiden name and if I was at a address from more than 10 years ago. I told her there was no one here by that name and hung up. She called back and rudedly and loudly told me she knew it was me. I hung up again. Since then I have received several calls from the same number.

Other than the harrasing calls; no [damages]
