- Lincoln, NE, USA

Received a voicemail yesterday at work from this company, then I called them back this morning - they were alleging that I had an account placed in collections with them from a Progressive Business Publications. Progressive Business Publications has contacted me multiple times over the last couple years about a subscription that I've told them multiple times were not interested in, they continue to send us publications anyway. They've sent invoices to our Accounting department in the past and I've sent them back with a note written on them stating we're not interested, please stop sending. When I called ICR back today, Cynthia Thomas at ICR said I owe them $299 for the publications sent since October. I am not authorized to make purchases for my company, I would not agree to anything that cost $300 without my managers approval. I told her this and she said I could pay $130 instead if I did it right that second. I again told her I could not pay her anything without speaking to my manager and again that I did not want this subscription. She threatened me that if I didn't pay her now the debt would be taken to collections against me personally. When I asked her how that was possible without my information she said "we have all your information"...the only personal information she could recite was my Day and Month of birth. After telling her multiple times I wasn't going to pay her anything today, I hung up the phone and began researching ICR and Progressive Business Publications. It quickly became apparent this is an ongoing scam!

I received a call about a payroll news subscription and was asked if I'd like to receive a free copy.

Never received a copy or heard anything on the topic again.

8 month later I'm getting calls from International Credit Recover threatening to send the bill to collections if we don't pay them $300.

I never signed anything agreeing to pay for a subscription!! Let alone I never received invoices from the said payroll subscription! I asked for an invoice but all I received was an invoice to pay International Credit Recovery not the supposed invoices form the payroll subscription!

I googled there phone number and there company and found a long lists of similar complaints about a this company being a scam trying to use scare tactics to get people to pay them!

Even after telling this company to just send this bogus claim to collections we have been getting multiple calls weekly about paying them!

Claiming we owe money for a subscription to Progressive Business Publications. We never signed up for this.

Representative from International Credit Recovery called this morning stating a former employee had "signed" our company up for a service called CFO Controller Alert and since they had not been paid for their charges of $299 they were going to report to collection agency as bad debt. Representative refused to email, mail or fax me any legal documentation regarding this, stating that "Your owner has already received the information and knows all about it." I can find no invoice, etc. in our system. I believe this is a scam, as reported by others.

These people have been harassing us for years saying my husband took out a $5,000 cash advance that he never did. We told them we didn't do it. They stopped calling for a while and have started back up and are calling our elderly parents when we don't respond. The person who calls says she's a litigation attorney and tries the scare tactic. They've also said in their voice mails that they are sending someone to our home to serve us with a subpoena. Yesterday after a woman called my phone three times in a row after I hit "ignore" each time, I answered. When I told her we didn't take out the loan and to stop harassing us she got heated and said "good luck in court" and hung up.

Called me at work, saying that I had signed up for Administrative Profession Updates through Progressive Business Publication in January. Said her name was Christina gave call back #607-748-6016 - my caller I.D. at work indicated the call was coming from 607-748-6016. This is a scam. I didn't order or sign up for anything that they referenced.

International Credit Recovery indicated that my non-profit organization owed a small amount due to Progressive Business Publications. They indicated I agreed to a trial offer but did not cancel within 30 days and that we had received invoices which we have not responded to. I never ordered any publications and we never received any invoices. Their messages indicate that the amount is so small they are surprised it has gone to collection but that it needs to be handled quickly.

International Credit Recovery: (The Background) Progressive Business Publications is a phone sales company that contacts you by phone, offers you a publication (keep up to date on payroll), sends the publication without authorization (even after being blatantly told no) then has you contacted by a collection agency by the name of International Credit Recovery claiming that you have entered into a contract (stating you entered into a contract by providing your date of birth), you are in collections and you owe them a sum of money. They get very belligerent and offer to settle. When asking for documentation they claim they have phone recordings, but won't let you hear them and won't supply any vendor information. They then say that they were calling as a courtesy and since you are uncooperative they will be moving forward with collections proceedings and hang up on you. There are MULTIPLE ScamPulse.com filings for both PBP as well as for International Credit Recovery as scam vendors.

International Credit Recovery left me a phone message that I owe them $299.00. According to them we ordered newsletter and website access to Progressive Business Publications.

Message was from Becky Morgan, 607-748-4686

She stated that I gave my birth date as verification of the charges on May 11, 2015. I explained that our company has to go through our finance department for any charges to the company. There is no possible way that I would have agreed to pay such amount. I am not authorized to pay anything from our business. I have read numerous negative reports about his company scamming people.

- Oakland, CA, USA

I received a call from Kathy from the International Credit Recovery company. She called in from a different number than she gave me to call back; when I called the number that the incoming call was from, it says the line is busy and to try again later. Kathy said I was sent to collections by the Compliance Safety Alert newsletter. She said the paper newsletter is mailed monthly to an address in Utah (I work in California). I said I never agreed to this and I would like to see proof that I made the purchase. She asked me, well what is your birthday? I told her the month and day (which I now regret). And she said, oh well there is no written proof, it is only verbal. It was a phone call and I told them my birthday at the end of the call and this is their verification security protocol. And they have listed that month/date is my birthday (the one I had just told her- she tricked me!). I told Kathy that my birthday can be found on the internet as it is publicly listed on social media so that is not an appropriate proof of consent.

She then asked me who she could contact in our Utah branch to talk about the debt. I said she should not be contacting anybody in my Utah office if the debt is tied to my name. Then, she said it's not tied to my name, it's tied to the company's name (this contradicted what she told me earlier). I told her this and she said she will be contacting her legal council in Utah to see what to do. I said I would contact my legal council as well.

After hanging up, I researched International Credit Recover, Safety Compliance Alert and the phone numbers from the conversation I just had. All of them result in numerous articles about how this is a scam.
