    Date of transaction: 1/15, I did not sign the agreement that they sent so they could charge my debit card. Yet they charged it anyway. I stupidly gave them my card information before I checked with the company I owed the debt to. I was told by that company that LCS was not hired to collect for them. I am working directly with the company to resolve the debt, actually I'm working with a ************************** to resolve the debt and no one is allowed to make collection calls regarding it. Either way, I sent an email to LCS to refund my money, they said they would. The charge posted to my account. So I had to cancel my debit card and get a new one. I would like my money returned and also for them to stop calling me and my relatives with threatening messages. They are very unprofessional and hung up on me twice. I'm not sure how they can say that they are collecting for a company when it was verified that they are not. I just want my money back and for them to stop calling me and my family.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    First, very unprofessional response. Second, I attached a screenshot of the amount taken out of my bank. I would love to see the proof they are speaking of that the money wasnt taken out. I am $215.00 short.  
    Sincerely,

    Im getting several calls every day under a name that I dont even go by, I filed bankruptcy back in September 2012 and everything was discharged. I have no collections on my credit report. I have not been served any papers I have not gotten anything in the mail about any collections or debt. So somebody needs to take my name off of this list.

    I have been contacted several times from someone claiming that they have documents for me to sign and that they would show up at my place of employment. They also require me to have ID and witness for them. Later in the message, they mention "serving" me at my home. I have received 2-3 messages like this over the past week. If, as the complaints on this site suggest, they are seeking to collect a debt, nothing in their message indicates that is the case. They provide no substantive information and tell me that if I want to "place a stop on this order" that I am to call the "filing party" at a particular number. First, if this is an actual attempt to collect on a debt, the "filing party" would be the plaintiff, and the number they are leaving is THEIR (Long Consulting's) number. So, this is apparently a deceptive act intended to get me to call back. I am unaware of any debts that I allegedly owe. The messages as I have described them violate the federal Fair Debt Collection. No one has sent me ANY written correspondence regarding an alleged debt.

    I have been contacted on my work phone line several times from someone claiming that they have documents for me to sign and that they would show up at my place of employment. They also purport to require me to have ID and witness for them. Later in the message, they mention "serving" me at my home. I have received 4-5 messages like this over the past few weeks. If, as the complaints on this site suggest, they are seeking to collect a debt, nothing in their message indicates that is the case. They provide no substantive information and tell me that if I want to "place a stop on this order" that I am to call the "filing party" at a particular number.

    I have been in chapter 11 bankruptcy since May of 2022. All creditors were notified and all debts accounted for. I should never be contacted by a creditor.

    On 9/11/23, 9/12,23 and today 9/13/23 this company has called me, my family, text me and my family about a debt I do not owe! They have harassed me and my family repeatedly, use scare tactics and threats to obtain money not owed. This is by far the worst run scam/business who hires uneducated individuals who can not speak to people in a human way. They dehumanize the people they call and use any and all tactics to get money out of them. This company needs to be shut down immediately. This is my formal cease and desist or I will go the legal route.

    09/06/23 - Have received two phone calls from Longs Consulting stating in a voicemail "Your supervisor manager or someone from the HR department to sign office and witness for you. If we do not get you at your job we will be stopping by your home and we will still need those two forms of ID and a witness. If you have any further questions of if you would to place a stop order on this service.The caller does not reference what specifically this is in regards to nor do they mention money. The threat of someone stopping by office or home is unacceptable. I want this harrassment to stop immediately. Companies do not call people and leave such a vague message which is why I know this is a scam. Company should be put out of business.
