Total money lost $751.11
Type of a scam Debt Collections
I was called on June 8, 2020 by Jason Edwards, a debt collector working for Tower Consulting Group, LLC. He said that I owed $751.11 from an old debt and I did not try to take care of it when I received notice by mail. He had my ss# as well as my late husband’s. Said the creditor was Credit One Bank. We have never had an account through them. I ended up paying by credit card after being so scared I would be summoned to court, put lien on my property, and owing $2.889.93 which were all threatened. I now have to fight this charge as a dispute plus I am out the money. They also used Docusign- Julie Bowers sending this to complete transaction all looking legitimate. Today when I called the phone number they used to scam me – the company is TCG and Associates. Please Stop these people from scamming anyone else.
I was scammed yesterday by Tower Consulting Group out of $751.11. Pressured me by calling and threatening court proceedings, lien on property, etc. They kept me on phone and I should have hung up, said I would owe $2,889 if I didn’t pay today. Used name of Jason Edwards and knew all my private information like ss# for me and my late husband. Prey on widows with good credit. Julie Bowers is the Docusign agent. All these names are probably fictitious. I just pray my credit card company will help me get back my money.

Tower Consulting Group, LLC had been calling and leaving me numerous threatening voice mail messages.
On 2/5/2020 I finally returned the call of TCG. I spoke to with paralegal Jason Edwards at tel 833-781-5220 x305 and he said I had to pay a debt otherwise I would have a judgement from earnings and tax credits. The judgement he said was from original creditor Credit One Bank from 1/27/2010 as he rudely indicated, providing my social security number associated with the total debt of $923.29. It frightened me he had my information (social security) naturally. I payed half the debt and was bullied to sign a stipulation agreement and authorization for credit card charge sent by his admin Julie Bowers via DocuSign"

Two telephone calls on 19Nov19 which I missed. I called the number and woman spoke. She was from Tower Consulting Group and was wanting me to agree to a payment plan for a legal suit that was to be file against me from Century Link. She said it was from 2014. I patiently told her I haven’t lived at the address in Florida since 2006 and have lived in Europe working for past 14 years. She continued to repeat the same script about agreeing to payment or the suit would be filed and I would have to pay the entire amount.
I have never had Century Link that I can remember and any debt collection in Florida is only good for maximum of 5 years according to Florida law. She became a bit frustrated and again read her computer script and I politely said goodby and looked up Tower Consulting Group and found the sad truth about the woman working for a company pressuring folks to pay debts which are either non existent and a scam.
Do not work with these people. Hang up and report them.
This company should be ashamed of calling folks and not representing themselves as debt collectors. Be

A debt collecting company named Tower Consulting Group targeted my grandmother over a supposed Embarq phone bill from 2007. They stated that if we didn’t pay it then they would be filing the paperwork in court. The supposed account was from 2007. Embarq is now Century Link. When I called the Century Link Collections Unit they confirmed that all of my grandmother’s accounts were paid in full with zero balance including the phone number the debt company claimed the debt under. Tower Consulting Group only sent me a document outlining a debt settlement stipulation and would not confirm by sending over any paperwork or legal notices to confirm the legitimacy of their claims. The person who answers the phone calls it an "Arbitration" company and none of the "representatives" have an email account. The representative from Tower Consulting Group said that if we didn’t pay $300 before court then they would win $4,000.
Also, my grandmother is a retiree from Embarq and had a phone line up until a few months ago. I found it impossible for her to be in debt with Embarq but did double check. When the representative refused to provide me with anything additional then I told her that she left me no choice but to consider her to be a scammer taking advantage of elderly people. She responded with "ok, then I will let the lawyers office know to file the paperwork and put a lien against her."
