"Lisa Langford" at CC Recovery "Accounts Receivable Supervisor and Executive in the Legal Department" is without exception the most unprofessional, unpleasant and vile person I have ever dealt with during what I thought would be a simple clarification of an invoice that was sent to CC Recovery for collection.
While I can prove that the debt that CC Recovery purchased was bogus and this can all be resolved quite simply. Was told that it didn't matter CC Recovery had bought the debt and "you will pay"
Local Yellow Directory could not talk to me as they sold the debt to CC Recovery.
I informed "Ms Langford" that our attorney advised us to respond once a summons was issued, we will make our case in court with our evidence. On a phone call was told by Ms Langford that it wouldn't go to court - "we don't need courts" and CC Recovery would get their money and destroy the credit of my family and business for 7 years 150%!
The invoice from Yellow Local Directory has a completely different price, the listing has us in a category as a Doctor & Surgeon - we are a sports club.
There seems to be only 2 persons in this "office" The esteemed Ms Lisa Langford and "Lily" the receptionist.
I was called a feminist who must be used to pushing around men, that I was a disgrace to the Queen as I am British (I am in fact from New Zealand )BTW both Ms Langford and "Lily" have distinctive Caribbean accents) I need medication, I need an attitude adjustment...there are so many more insults flung.
I am no angel in this. I looked up this company online and saw what has been posted. I was angry! 5 phone conversations and 2 emails form "Ms Langford" later there is no willingness to fix what I can prove to be a incorrect debt. The last email from "Ms Langford" was:
-
Dear Andrea,
Again I Beg You..NOT TO CALL BACK..EXCEPT TO PAY
Do what deems fit you you and your business we will be doing the same.
Your Attorney will be Happy for the $$$$$.
Good Luck!
A Good Credit Rating Is Always Of Benefit To You.

Ms.Langford

These people are bullies and use intimidation to get their way. "Yellow Local Directory" is also a scam and a sorry excuse for a business.

  • Andrea, this is a total scam. I just got a letter from CC Recovery also. This was for my company that owns a commercial building and has a tenant in it. They called my tenant and some how produced a recording with her verifying the charges for my business. I don't need to advertise because I already have a tenant. I said my company doesn't have any employees and I was the only one that can verify charges. They said I need to run my employees better so they don't say they can purchase things they can't. After that conversation I just ignored everything I got from them. I got an email saying they were giving me notice according to the law. I didn't respond, so how do they know I got the email. Then I got this letter and no one had to sign for it, so I'm not going to respond because I didn't get the letter. This is around a year old. Any legit company would have a collection agency take this to court and try to collect the funds. I don't think they can do anything to your credit, but I'm not sure. I would do some research on that. This CC Recovery is the same company that works with Yellow Local Directory. It justs makes it look like a legit Collection Agency. I send people to collections and this isn't how it works.

  • I recieved a letter saying I owed $812.97 for an account with yellow local directory as well. I live close to their office and should check out if these criminals really exist and maybe drop off a few boxes of bogus invoices they owe me.

  • 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.
