About 3 years ago, I was contacted by a Yellow Local Pages and agreed to list our media company with them. I don't remember the amount I was quoted, but I believe it was in the $100 range. Something strange happened after that, we started getting calls asking about sporting goods. THEY LISTED OUR MEDIA COMPANY, MEDIA SAVVY, AS A SPORTING GOODS STORE! The calls have continued even though I asked that they change the listing several times. When I asked to cancel they told me that I would be charged a fee of $500 to opt out. Now I am dealing with CCRecovery, a debt collector, who said that if we give them $823.95 they will go away. We only got one call from them and they claimed that they will "ruin your credit and cause a 7 year blight on our credit history, both personally and the business." So not only were we scammed, but we were subjected to annoying calls regarding sporting good. I told the company, when they called to tell me that I would have to pay $500 to get out of this deal, that we would not pay for a service we did not receive. And now I am dealing with "Lisa Langford" at CC Recovery who promised "150% that I will ruin your credit and we will got through your bank to recovery the money." Now I am reading that this company's practices are being reported to the FTC and Attorney Generals. I am doing the same and encourage you to do it as well. We need to stop these practices. And, we are still not paying these people for their scam!

- I just got a letter today. My business address for my company that holds the real estate is the same as my tenant in the building. I also own the company that rents the building, but they are two different companys. They called and some how produced a recording of one of my employees from a different business than they were calling for. I called and told them that I was the only one that could verify charges and this company has no employees. She told me I need to learn how to run my business better and started saying it would ruin my credit. I'm ignoring all notices unless they send them so I have to sign for them. How do they know I received the letter. If yours is three years old and they had a legit collection they would have sent you to court already. If your credit isn't hurt yet, then I don't see how they could.

CC recovery is PART OF Yellow Local Directory. The address at 1940 Duke St # 200, Alexandra VA is a virtual office and they forward the mail to YLD in Canada. DO NOT PAY THEM..
I received a letter from a collection agency "CC Recovery". On the envelope, the postage stamp states, "MAILED FROM ZIP CODE 12959" which is Mooers, NY. But the address on the CC Recovery letter is 1940 Duke Street, Suite 200 # 100, Alexandria, VA 22314. This PROVES that the "CC Recovery" company is a scam in cahoots with Yellow Local Directory.
Also, I called the State of Virginia Division of Corporations and the Alexandria City and they were not able to locate a business named "CC Recovery". Here's the response I received from the office of the city attorney, "This is to acknowledge receipt of your request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)..." and "...Please be advised that pursuant to Virginia Code Section 2.2-3704(A), the City has no records of a business license issued to or on behalf of any entity known as CC Recovery." I spoke w/the supervisor Lisa Langford and collector, Nicky Jones. They would not give me the company's legal name, license #, or TAX ID #. They also refused to tell me what city they live. It's NOT ALEXANDRIA for sure.
FINALLY, the website ccrecovery.biz is copied from another website: NCC Recovery. http://www.nccrecovery.com/faq/ and http://ccrecovery.biz/faq.php are identical. That's copyright infringement. The CC Recovery website does not list a LICENSE #, ADDRESS, or any REAL collection agency associations because they DO NOT EXIST. CC Recovery + YLD = SCAM.
CC Recovery is OWNED by Yellow Local Directory. CC Recovery has a "virtual office" which is a basically a mail box through a company called REGUS. 1940 Duke St Ste 200, Alexandria VA. Although calls may have a (703) area code, they are forwarded to Canada. I called REGUS @ (703) 684-4400 and they verified that CC recovery is a their client and located out of Canada...just like YLD. SCAMMERS! Lisa and Nicky from CC Recovery do not live in Virginia. 866-747-2227 and 703-665-4236 are forwarded numbers. DO NOT PAY THEM!!!! Good LUCK. -
