      Collectors who're after the art
      The International Herald Tribune writes about how collectors are seeking out original comic book art. These days though, to hear about collectors buying classic old items chiefly for the artwork bothers me, because it only reminds me how the artwork value has long been put on a higher level of importance by the collectors than the entertainment value of the stories. My belief is that the

      Good afternoon! If you are a fan of DooWop and Rhythm & Blues Vocal Group Harmony (as I am), record collector, and/or musical scholar than I am sure you love to feast on knowledge such as discographies. The expert on this sort of thing is Robert Ferlingere. He has published 4 editions of his tome A Discography of Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll Vocal Groups: 1945-1965. The last edition was published in 2002 and was hardbound in two huge volumes. In the past five years there have been tons of additions and corrections made to Ferlingere's database and he does desire to publish a 5th edition which includes these. However before he will go to the printer he needs to have 100-125 prepaid orders. Each published product would cost between $100.00-$125.00 each. He wants to know

      N.J. lawmakers taking on debt collectors
      Greg Saitz/The Star-Ledger - original article source: practice of debt collection is under renewed scrutiny. New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill in the Assembly that would regulate the practices of debt collectors and give authorities the power to issue significant fines for violations. Dubbed the New Jersey Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the proposed legislation mostly mirrors a 30-year-old federal law that regulates things such as when and where debt collectors can call consumers. But it also goes further, imposing rules on creditors -- not just third-party firms that are hired by creditors or buy debt at a discount. The bill, introduced last month and now in committee, comes during an economic period in which consumers are having a harder time paying their bills. Perhaps

      How to stop bill collectors harassing you over inaccurate or outdated debts
      Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if you are being forced to pay a debt that you are not complete sure of, you have the rights to dispute the debt and get the actual details from the CA. They will contact the original creditor and get info on the debt for which you have disputed. The FDCPA is your most powerful weapon against any unfair or illegal collection practices. Each and every debt collector is required to follow the three basic rules mentioned in the FDCPA. Important FDCPA Rules: 1) Legal notification letters All collection agents and certain attorneys must comply with section 12 of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and must send the debt collection letters using the right words as mentioned in the laws. Section 807 explains the sixteen specific examples of false and misleading tactics.

      Ways to deal with debt collectors
      By OLGA CAMPOS KVUE News Debt collection is a booming industry as more Americans find themselves unable to pay their creditors. Yet the strong-armed tactics used by some collection agencies are drawing complaints. "I would get 4, 5, 7, 9 calls a day," said Mary Ann Orosz of a debt collection agency after receiving numerous phone calls intended for someone else. "Starting about four or five months ago, I started getting calls for Mark Wilson, Mike Wilson, even a Marquita Wilson," she said. Orosz's complaints are common and have resulted in federal regulations which debt collection agencies are required to follow. "There are some guidelines that are set up about the different times of day in which consumers can be contacted and what consumers can do if they believe that they do not owe the debt," said Erin Jones of the Better Business Bureau. Under the Fair Debt Collection Act, debt collectors can contact you in person, by mail, telephone - even fax. But they can't do so before 8 a.m.

Thou shall realize that knowledge allows thou to work intelligently and to be effective. 6. Thou shall become an expert in locating judgment debtors’ assets … without breaking the law.7. Thou shall have an iron stomach and a will to match. Thou will never succeed as a judgment recovery specialist unless thou does.8.

      How do u keep debt collectors from calling? When it's not ur bill.?
      How do u keep debt collectors from calling? When it's not ur bill.?The Answer : I love the easy questions....All you have to do is send the debt collector a letter requesting that he "validate" the debt. That means he has to PROVE that you actually owe the debt by supplying copies of contracts, receipts, bills, and/or any records that pertain to how the debt was created and calculated. In many cases I have counseled, this will usually stop everything immediately, and you may even get a letter affirming you do not owe a debt.Where many people make their mistake is asking the collector to "verify" the debt. All they need to do in this case is contact the original debtor and ask if it's a legitimate debt. If they say yes, it's now "verified". That does you no good at all. That is all that's required of credit bureaus too, which makes it hard to get reports taken off your records.OK, now my battle cry...You are about to go to war. Do not fight these guys unarmed.

      A fall from grace: a cautionary lesson to judgment collectors
      Since when has pretexting become such a hot topic? It appears to have gotten a giant kickstart last year from a most unlikely candidate, Hewlett-Packard’s (HP) Chairwoman Patricia Dunn. Fed up with leaks to the media from HP’s Board of Directors, Dunn covertly acquired the phone records from its board members to obtain a pattern of contacts and calling. Although eavesdropping was not involved, the unauthorized access of records touched off a public relations disaster for HP. Not only did Dunn become Newsweek’s cover girl, a warrant was triggered for her arrest. It was a sad chapter in the brilliant career of a cancer survivor with humble beginnings in Las Vegas. In addition to fines, the four counts in the felony complaint carried prison sentences of up to three years. But does the punishment fit the crime? Pretexting is defined as, “the use of false pretenses, including false statements and impersonation, to obtain consumers’ personal or financial information”. Dunn did

      The Titaneus Giganteus is worlds largest beetle: Collectors piece
      The Titanus giganteus or as some people call it the titaneus giganteus is the worlds largest beetle in the world and to tell you the truth is giving me the creeps even writing about it, the Titanus giganteus a coleopter cerambicide is scary at that size and would even scare Chuck Norris, male species can get up to 15 centimeters and some have been known to reach a staggering 20 centimeters. Believe it or now but a copy of Titanus giganteus could cost a collector more than $2500 which is not bad really considering these big beggers are hard to catch or find.

      Debt Collectors Present Buying Opportunities
      This is the only public pure-play debt collector. With average US consumer credit card debt at all time highs at around $10,000, savings at an all time low at under 1%, mortgage rates rising, home values on the decline, and foreclosures climbing 50% over last year, I expect the US consumers to falter sooner or later. When this happens, PRAA will be in big business - the business of collecting debt for banks, credit cards, retailers, credit unions and auto loan originators.The company has no debt, and 20% sales and earnings growth. They have a history of beating earnings by at least a penny. Around April 17th of this year, Encore Capital Group (ECPG), a competitor to PRAA, announced that a private investor group from J.C. Flowers and FPK Capital would be taking a 25% stake in ECPG. This in addition to the 15% stake that investment firm Red Mountain Capital Partners already owned in Encore. This sent both Encore and PRAA's stocks soaring - the latter being the boat that rose from the pr

      Assume collectors are scams
      A friend of mine recently received a collection call. It sounded legit, they had a balance owed, a name, to what company the debt was owed, etc. But during their entire conversation, the collector refused to answer where she was calling from, what their phone number was, or who they were. Is this common? They wanted her to make a payment over the phone, but refused to tell her who they were or

      Collectors: Stay far away from Terrance Hayslett (aka Alex Newsom)
      Several months ago, I had posted a warning on some Transformers forums about a toy trader/seller from Memphis, TN who goes by the name of "Terrance Hayslett" or "Terrell Hayslett" or "Alex Newsom" or "Jeff Boyland" (are any of these his real name?)It's come to my attention that after years of scamming collectors, this guy is apparently still ripping people off as of February 2007. He personally swindled me out of $100 in merchandise back in 2004 (a MISB Energon Megatron and 3 TRU Cobra troop builder packs), and I wound up having to cancel a $200 check for a promised lot of loose Transformers that never materialized.He frequents Spawn, He-Man, G.I. Joe and Transformers forums, and has quite the reputation all over the internet.Here's just a handful of links from his victims:http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=295604http://board.spawn.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-162560.htmlhttp://adctalk.com/index.php?showtopic=1972845&mode=threadedhttp://ozfigures.conforums2.com/inde

      How To Make Money Reselling Junk Computers To Collectors
      http://www.sellam.com/In the first purchase of his collection, Sellam Ismail loaded the trunk of his car with old computers he stumbled upon at a flea market for $5 apiece. Soon he had filled his three-car garage with what others would consider obsolete junk.Years later, his collection of early computers, printers, and related parts is piled high across shelves and in chaotic heaps in a 4,500-square-foot warehouse near Silicon Valley. And it is worth real money.Even as the power and speed of today's computers make their forerunners look ever punier, a growing band of collectors are gathering retro computers, considering them important relics and even good investments."There has been a real steep upward trend in prices in the last year, year and a half," said Ismail, 38. "It seems it's become like the new collectible to moneyed people. Before it was just nerds and hobbyists."He states his own affiliation clearly: he wears a black T shirt with the word "nerd" on the front. He recently

      "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children' Collectors Edition
      Final Fantasy VII was one of the first Final Fantasy games I ever got into. There was something about that game that hooked me right from the start. I know a lot of people that say the same thing. When I heard that Final Fantasy VII was getting turned into a movie I was truly excited. The resulting movie, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, was one of the best video game-to-movie adaptations I've ever seen. Vesides having a compelling story it was also some of the best CGI work that I think has ever been in film. The only reason I haven't purchased the movie right now is that I'm waiting for an HD-DVD release. Today I got word, though, about the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Limted Edition Collector's Set) and I think I may break.

      Treasury Report Latest Confirmation of Need for Private IRS Debt Collection ACA Blasts Treasury Union for Fearmongering MINNEAPOLIS (Oct. 10, 2006) — ACA International, The American Criminals Association (ACA) today pointed to a new report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) as fresh evidence of the need for the IRS's Private Collection Agency (PCA) program and blasted opponents of the program for twisting the report's conclusions. The TIGTA report found that IRS computer systems holding or transferring private taxpayer information have received the required Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) only 54 percent of the time.

For example, a college student client was threatened that she'd be arrested if she did not pay a credit card debt, and another client was called 12 times in one day at work about a debt that was 14 years old. If they knew their rights, these people could have avoided the
