I first got a phone call from a man asking me if I wanted to continue my ad with them and that if I didn't I owed $499.99 for the previous year. I wasn't aware I had an ad nor did I approve one! After a long conversation with him he said that he would mark my bill that I didn't owe anything. Then I get a bill in the mail. I went to my local police department but they said they couldn't do anything because nothing had actually been done. Monday I received a letter (which by the way was dated 2 weeks before I received it) from CC Recovery Collections Agency demanding full payment or they will report me to the credit reporting agencies. I have filed a complaint with the FTC and my state Attorney General. I pulled my credit report and so far, they haven't reported anything negative to it. I wish SOMEONE could do something about these companies fraudulent and deceptive business practices!!!

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. -
