    The company changed its name to Upstate Dept Management.  Here is the contact information:

    Upstate Debt Management
    Stephan Scott, Managing Partner
    2116 George Urban Blvd
    Depew, NY 14043
    716.748.6236

    The Depew Policy Department suggests that anyone receiving abusive phone calls from them contact their local police department and file a complaint as well as the state's attorney.  Make a copy of the call and voice message.  Once the complaint is filed the Depew Policy Department can become involved.  The DPD does not want criminals in their town.  You may also file with the federal government.  In some cases you may receive monies for this abuse..

    These people were very briefly calling me.  I told them my friend in the state attorneys office gave me a list of all the laws they had broken.  They hung up before I got to number 3.  Now I call them just for fun.  I begin with, "please be aware that this conversation is being recorded."  They can't hang up fast enough.  I have filed complaints with the FTC and my state attorney, and I have given a copy of a voicemail, in which the caller says he represents the county where I live, to the AG's office.  These people are 100%  phony.  They don't have the ability to do any of the things they threaten to do, and they're breaking the law just by threatening you with them.  I urge anyone being harrassed by this outfit to turn the tables on them.  Call them and let them know that you know what they're doing is illegal.  The calls will stop immediately.  Then file complaints.  Then call and mess with them just like they messed with you.  They are an unlicensed, fly by night debt collector, changing names to stay one step ahead of lawsuits and law enforcement.  They have no power at all.  None.  You have all the power.  Go get em'!

    they are not a scam, you are debtors. you owe everybody money and look for reasons not to pay. you would rather try to sue somebody than to pay your bills. collection agencies wouldn't have to call around the country, your relatives, or your place of employment if you just paid your bills or returned a call from the people. you guys laugh about how you don't call back, the scam going on here is that scum bags are making honest people such as myself pay higher taxes. i hope all of you get sued and have wages garnished....then you can start a blog about that. then i will laugh

    Always hilarious to see a lot of people pop up in these "Debt Collector" threads with their sob stories about how they didn't pay, and now the sky is falling, or they did pay, and now life is good forever.  If they know who the "Debt Collectors" are, then why the heck are they looking their phone number up on the internet?  No, any such statement is clearly an attempt by the scammers to add legitimacy to their scheme.  And then they come in to shout at everyone in such a professional manner about how we're all scum.  Who do you think you're fooling?  Is your business model built 100% around intimidating the elderly, the timid and the mentally

    Here's the thing.  I deal with the world in cash.  100% cash only, for years and years.  I have no debt.  I have no credit cards.  I have a checking account that I use only for Rent and Utilities, and a debit card I use for online purchases.  I am completely insanely OCD about not owing money to anyone for anything.  And I know for sure that the alleged charges are BS because they wouldn't actually tell me what the amount they were trying to collect was, or what company allegedly sent me to collections in the first place.  When I pressed the agent about this startling lack of details, and refused to just cough up credit card info over the phone, he became abusive, started calling me a thief and a scumbag, started swearing, and threatened to call the police to my house.  I offered to verify the address they allegedly have on file, because I'd welcome a conversation with the police on this matter.  He started making up a fake address based on my cellphone area code - I've had the same cell number since College, but have lived in another state since 2002.  When I pointed that out, he hung up.

    these guys are scum bags. report them to the attorney general's office as well as the depew police.  My lawyer did. criminal laws do not apply in a check written to the first party. You scums are collecting on purchased charged off debt and have no authority to pursue any civil or criminal remedies on a returned check.  Additionally, in order to pursue civil or criminal remedies one must formally protest the check within the applicable statue of limitations and only the PAYOR has the right to protest, not some dried up poop on the street third rate debt collector from Buffalo and especially one who is a former convicted felony who went to jail for telemareketing fraud.  If i ever talk to Mr. Suppa at your company or anyone form your company again be warned the calls are being recorded.  Get a real job. and tell Mr Suppa to pay his bills.  My lawyer ran a check on you scums... you have outstanding federal liens you owe.  How would you feel if the feds harassed you like you pieces of dried turds harass me and my wife.  They said i was going to be arrested and sued for a debt that isnt even mine plus come to find out its out of statute.  I spoke to a Mr. Suppa who told me he was a lawyer.  I did a search on him and found out he isnt a lawyer at all in fact he's an ex felon.  Went to jail for telephone sweepstake fraud of old ladies.  I also did a court record search on this guy and found out he has all kinds of federal tax liens against him.  REPORT THIS COMPANY to your attorney general and give them this link.... he will get his and if you want to see what he looks like, he even has a t.v. show so he can screw even more people.  this company has harassed me and my wife beyond reason.  He and his company need to be held accountable

    T B replies to STEVE WATTERS
    You must work for them? This company has been trying to collect a payday loan I took out over 5 yrs ago before I became permanently disabled. In AZ they no longer allow Payday loans and do not consider them check fraud as for the party agreed to take a bad check at time of transaction. They consider it gambling basically and so if they lost they lost. And a couple of years ago shut down these preditors or the poor and underpaid for good. Still have auto loans, but no check loans. Several other states also do not consider check fraud so look it up. I personally settled with this company over 4 yrs ago and about every 2 yrs they attempt to collect the full amount and seem to not have records of my settlement and being ill I have no clue. They are scum. Also this should be a written contract law, not check fraud and in states to states it has a statute of limitaions. In AZ 6 yrs Idaho 5 etc. I did file a complaint with the Attorney General, US and NY State and as far as I knew they had been fined by the government and shut down, must have gotten the license back. Scum bags.

    you have no idea what you are talking about Miles. I know for me, this was a settled debt years ago, I have been contacted every apx 2 yrs since. They use illegal tactics, they are not above the law so this is a mute point. And they are owned by a scum bag who was convicted of telemarketing theft of elderly and also has several tax liens. And so if your paying higher taxes (Iol public debt has nothing to do with taxes) it would be because of scum like this company. Go back to work and continue to hassle people and when the feds come a knocking at this business again then you can pay dearly.

    Fed Up replies to All about scams
    This company is a rip off scam. They are not legitimate. The owners are former felons operating behind the scenes trying to appear legitimate. They all were previously convicted and did time for telemarketing fraud now they are trying to rip off people collecting on out of statute debt and unverified purchased debt. They have no authority to sue and no standing. They are violating laws and need to be stopped. hire a lawyer, report them to the A.G. and check out this information on one of there top collectors,  Mr. Suppa

    I received a call from upstate debt management regarding my mother. They claimed my mother went into a payday loan 2 years ago with a younger man they were assuming was my brother. They said my mother was being charged with check fraud and if i did not tell them how to get in touch with her i was going to be subpoenaed in her place. They also claimed since i was listed as a reference that i was involved somehow. None of my family had even been to the county in question in over 4 years. They did however also ask if I wanted to pay the debt with a credit card. I argued because I knew my mother was too sick to travel two years ago she's been on enough oxygen to bring back the dead for 3 years. And the only way I was able to review this elusive tape was to go to court. They also told me it was impossible to go into a payday loan office with someone else's information to receive a loan. SCAM I hope so and I hope karma comes back around for what theyre doing to my family and your parents

    Richard Zacharian replies to Optimistic1
    I hope you have read the other posts and do as suggested which is call the Depew NY police and report them, file a complaint with your attorney general and the NYS attorney general, get a lawyer and sue them. They have filed so many federal laws and possible your state laws as well.  Upstate Management Services is not a company in good standing they are theifs.  Please do your part and file complaints.

    I have been getting calls like that for over a month. Even if I answer it is always a recorded message from some Law firm. They don't say who they want to talk to just that we have 2 days to call back about a serious matter before it escalates. If it is that sreious then they should know a name and address and contact us by mail.   Was of time scammers!!!!
