Same for me...I was told to ask directly for Katie.

May 22 message left by a person identifying herself as Katie Dtoman from a corporate firm in NY State, Internaqtional Credit claiming that my organization and I were identified on an invoice form November 2008.

All may be interested to learn that the IOBP is (or was) under investigation by the U.S. Postal Investigation Service (USPIS). I know this because in February of this year I received a letter from the USPIS as part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Victim Notification System. The letter does not specify the nature or the status of the "criminal misuse" investigation. It does mention "...a large number of victims in this matter..." There have been no updates to the file in the VNS since I first was notified.It's interesting that the prior discussions in this forum also mention Progressive Business Publications (PBP). The mailing address for PBP in its web site is the city/town of Malvern, PA that is a short drive from IOBP's Pennsylvania addresses of Exton and West Chester. And, the collection agency (United Credit Collections) that contacted me in regards to IOBP had/has a mailing address in Owego, NY that is a short drive from the listed address (web) of the Vestal, NY agency (International Credit Recovery) mentioned in previous messages related to PBP. Coincidence?

Same thing. I had Lori Appleton tell me that my boss ordered it and they had a taped conversation as proof. My boss NEVER places orders. That's why he has a secretary. I asked for a copy of the tape and she hung up on me.

Spoke with Valerie today regarding my subscription to a safety journal which all started very nicely as she was sympethetic to the fact that these free subscriptions companies are out of hand and should be hung up on but then she quickly changed. Same shpeel as everyone else regarding the birthday, yadda yadda but she refused to send me any copies of my invoices, transcript, etc until i gave a guarantee i would overnight a check for the balance they had on hand or provide a credit card. I clearly am not going to pay for something unless i have some documentation, if anything to give my stapler some attention. I'm very curious about this birthdate as a signature law she kept speaking of. I can't seem to find anything related to our situation that would deem these people have a chance in hell at collecting on a debt they refuse to provide any proof of.

Exact same story. Said I'd authorized this Progressive Business subscription based on my giving them my birthdate. We are a small public library in rural Maine and I would never have authorized this--it's ridiculous for us. Anyway, now I'm getting calls from Amanda or someone and she's used the same tactics. Very crude and tough. I would gladly join a class action lawsuit. This kind of thing makes me so angry that I blew up with her. She said I had to pay up "or else."

This company is still scamming!!!!!

Got a call from 607-748-4686 claiming I have not paid an overdue bill for some publication tha I NEVER ordered. It is al B.S. Kathy Raimer claimed to be from International Credit Recovery Services, whatever.

Why did this just happend to me. I told them I wasn't paying a damn dime. They tried to say that they spoke with me on that nbumber. I told them they were a lie because I could prove tgat I was somewhere else. So bring it on.

I received a similar call from a Valerie Oliver 607-748-4686. Same spiel $299 for a magazine I didn't order.
