Dealing w/Hunter Warfield

melprieve — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 22:09:54 GMT

Has anyone ever had success with Hunter Warfield? I live in Texas and I've sent DV letters, emails and faxes and never received a response from them ever.

Have you seen them on a collection website? i think [Edited] has one, or i saw a link somewhere to collection agencies and experiences ill look again in a bit.

A link was removed because it violates the forum's Credit Repair Discussion Guidelines which prohibit, among other things:

Additionally, we cannot allow postings that include the promotion of any credit repair organization or the posting of links to web sites that promote any credit repair actions that are not allowed in these Forums.

Did they sent you a collection (dunning) notice? Was your DV timely?

Living in Texas, their state version of the FDCPA requires response to a DV letter within 30-days.

Umm, yes, I actually JUST dealt with them a few weeks ago. To make a long story short, the apartment that we just moved out of in Dec, 2010 sent us a $750 bill for a TON of absurd "damages" that I simply refused to pay. The apartment sent the account to Hunter Warfield who then began collection activity against me. All of my conversations with them were absolutely ridiculous... first they lied about the nature of the collection (said it was for failure to provide notice of moving out and even went through the hassle of having me send in proof of notice - a later person informed me the list of damages that were the cause of the charges were clearly listed on my account). Then during another conversation, the HW person yelled at me and hung up - seriously! (I was being completely respectful and nice, just simply asking him to explain something that didn't make sense to me and he obviously didn't like that).

Ultimately, it became clear that these people were rude and unethical and I wasn't going to get anywhere with them. Since the collection had not been reported to the CBs (and the promised it wouldn't be if a I paid - it hasn't yet, fingers crossed) and they offered me a 80% settlement, I just paid it. Ultimately, I didn't want some morons at a CA to hurt my credit and destroy my chances of buying a house nex year.

All I can say is that my experience with them was horrible so I wouldn't hold your breath on them actually following any FCRA rules or being cooperative at all. I also filed a complaint with the FL attorney general over them... it didn't really go anywhere (got a general email response), but I encourage that you do the same. Maybe if they get multiple complaints, they'll look into it.

As RobertEG said since you live in Texas the CA is required to answer a DV within 30 days or remove their information on your report. You can read this in the Texas Finance Code. It might be time to contact the Texas Attorney General about this.

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 9/09 pulled by lender 802, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

I sent a second request to Hunter Warfield included a copy of the Texas Finance Code demanding a removal of the account if they did not respond on 03.09.11. Have not heard back.

Has any had any luck with pursuing legal action or filing a complaint with the state AG against collectors?

My best advice with Hunter Warfield is to deal with the OC directly... I had a similar debt, $416 dollars listed on my credit. I sent letters, no response. Finally, I contacted the OC (apartment complex) and spoke with a property manager. I agreed to pay the OC in full if they pulled it back from Hunter Warfield. They did pull it back and it is no longer reporting. Mind you; I owed this debt and it was legit.

I don't know what else they handle, but it seems apartment complexes are a favorite client of theirs.. If so, if the OC owns the debt do whatever you can to avoid Hunter Warfield, because they don't seem to follow the rules.

I don't know if I would call it success but I just recently dealt with this company in August 2011. I received a letter from them in January 2011 stating they were collecting on behalf of another company. I was at the time working with a credit repair organization, who sent them a DVL. They responded with a copy of the signed agreement between me and the original creditor, nothing in particular that said they were authorized to collect the amount they claimed I owed. Shortly after, they placed an adverse account on my credit and every month the balance increased, as it was an interest bearing account. The CRO that I worked with didn’t manage my plan correctly and was able to work out a PFD for about 75% of the balance owed. The offer was wonderful but the CRO negotiated it too early there were other offers that had been accepted. Anyways, I fired the CRO & took measures into my own hands. In July 2011, I contacted them with an offer and a forecast payment date. They accepted assuming I meant the funds would be received by the end of the month. When I contacted them about it they would only work with me if the funds were received by the end of the month. This company is very hard to work with and I ended up contacting the OC and having them tell the CA to accept my offer. Hunter Warfield didn’t want to speak with me from that day forward but I was able to make payment and close the account. They’re very hard to work with and only accept offers towards the end of the month as they get paid commission for the payments received. That’s the best time to contact them and here’s direct information for Hunter Warfield. edited 3111 W Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd 2nd Floor Tampa Fl 33607 813-283-4500(Main) 813-283-edited (Direct) 813-283-4616 (fax) 866-486-8927 (fax)

I am dealing with them now. This is a collection from my daughter who skipped out on an apartment. The are rude and do not like to compromise. I also attempted to contact the apartment complex to pull the collection. That didn't work. Long story short, I'm gonna pay ot off and then dipute to have it deleted.

Good Luck...

The apartment complex cannot pull the account from Hunter Warfield but you can, as I did, contact either the complex or the management company of the complex by writing or phone and inform them of your situation and that you have been trying to compromise with Hunter Warfield but they are not working with you and you really want to get this matter taken care of. The original creditor or management company may be inclined to assist you by contacting Hunter Warfield and asking them to accept your compromised offer as long as what you’re presenting is reasonable. This is what I had to do in order to get the account taken care of. I have direct information and can send it to you in a direct email for people to contact within Hunter Warfield, if you’d like.

I just sent a GW letter to them last week for an account I paid off in 2007. I asked them to deleted the record early since it was settled over 5years ago. I think I sent the letter to the wrong address because I mailed it to the address on my experian report which was

4620 woodland coporate tampa, fl 33614. I hope they are willing to work with me, this was a balance that I had because I signed for an apartment in my name for a relative.

You're welcome. They were pretty difficult to deal with when it came to my situation and may have a different approach with you.

Had contacted Hunter Warfield in 2009 and have not heard from them since. Requested information was never received. Had actually composed a letter today when I came across your post.

I just pulled my updated EQ report the other day and saw that the paid Hunter Warfield was removed. I sent them a letter in September and the sent an email on Oct 5th. I did not receive any response from either so I just thought they ignored it. They must have deleted it because it was not due to fall off my report until 9/2012.

I just found out last year that in may of 05 when i left california (and broke my lease 3 months early), the apartment complex charged me 4200 (mostly for rent plus couple hundreds for paint/repairs)....Hunter Warfield had the account shorty after and they claim that the current amount owe to them now is 6300. I called them as soon as i found out (to work something out) and all they could say was that i had to pay my account in full.

I was willing to work with them but since they are such Mod Cut; Please keep the language g-rated - MarineVietVet, myFICO moderator i am wondering if I can get this remove from my credit for being 7 years old since the day of delinquency. Does anybody know if I can and if so, whats the procedure?

Thanks in advance
