      Wakefield @associates did not verify my debt and just put it on my credit.. They have been giving me all sorts of run arounds and saying different things when I call I have all my calls recorded. They told me to speak to compliance department, so I ask to speak to them then they said they can not transfer me to them. I ask to speak to a manager and they leave the line come back and pretend to be the manager.

      Wakefield and Associates placed a debt into collections on my account 06/03/24 For a total of $610.00. I was only recently made aware of this when I looked my credit score up this month. For something they said was back in 11/20/23?! I have no knowledge of the creditor company. Looking online says its a known scam company. I never received anything about owing anyone money. Nor have I ever owed/ paid them any money. Wakefield and Associates is trying to scam money from me.

      Some from Wakefield and Associates called me a few weeks ago. They claimed to be trying to collect a debit I owned for Medical bills to a doctor that I've never heard of. I told them they had the wrong person and I had never been to the doctor they mentioned.Then they started trying to get me to give them my personal information, which I refused to do. I asked them to stop calling me because I don't have anything is unpaid or delinquent anywhere and I've never heard of the doctor they mentioned. They got sort of nasty with me and continued to ask for my personal information until I hung up on them.They called again a day or so later and ended up blocked their phone number. Since then, they have tried calling me from several different phone numbers, which I continue to block. I have reported them. They are a scam company.

      Too bad we can't give this company a zero or no stars, they are not even worthy of 1 star. I was in an accident in 2021, got airlifted, even when I said no, my insurance paid $19000 of the $69000 RIDICULOUS BILL, it was a 15 minute flight. They have been harassing me, calling my mom, sending texts, threatening me. Last call we got was "this can go 2 ways, you pay it or we will come take it", not sure who the a****** was that called, but that is not how you speak to someone, especially a senior citizen who has nothing to do with it. I have heard nothing but shady about these people, they wanted me to take a loan against my house, cash out my 401K, this is completely ridiculous, my out of pocket on my insurance is $10000. What is the point of having insurance, what is the point of saying NO, when they are going to do what they want anyways. Companies like this should not be allowed to operate.

      Called me twice to "collect a debt" from me. I'm a 19 year old girl fresh out of highschool. Obviously I have no debt. This should not be considered an accredited business and is an obvious scam.

      This "company" consistently calls, and when I do answer, refuse to say who they are calling about and refuse to provide any proof of their claims. Clearly reading the rest of these reviews, these people are scam artists trying to make a quick buck from those who don't know better or who are vulnerable. If they won't provide proof in writing, don't even bother talking to them.

      These guys just appeared out of nowhere when I checked my credit score. I don't have any debt. I don't do loans, credit cards, or any of it. I don't have medical bills or anything past due even. I've never even heard of them.But here we are and they took 18 points with them, claiming I owe them $252.

      I started receiving calls a few months ago from Wakefield & Associates. I have asked them repeatedly to send me a copy of a bill. They say I owe money. But I won't pay until I receive a bill. The messages they leave I can hardly understand what they are saying. Horrible company.

      This company has hit my credit report for medical bills I have nothing to do with. They never communicated with me via phone or in writing regarding proof of the debt. I have called their offices and no one is able to provide me with documentation related to the collection on my credit report. This company is a scam.
