Hi Brownie, I have dealt with Second Round LP and may still have some dealings with them in the future. They played a trick with me, too. This company posted what was a large alleged business debt to my personal credit reports. They then started to harass me with numerous phone calls. I sent a DV, and in return received an invoice for a different alleged debt, of a minor dollar value, from 14 years ago. Quite frankly, both claims were bogus and outside of the SOL. One item was a true zombie debt of a few hundred dollars, bought and sold so many times nobody had any records to support it ever existed in the first place. They were trying to bait me into calling on the small item, so they could demand payment on the large item. Some of the phone messages were a bit desperate ("please call us on this matter, we have such a good deal for you!") I did not believe I owed either claim, and followed up with an Intent to Sue letter. They responded with documents that purely supported my position. I then contacted each alleged original creditor directly, who also supported my position. While the negative entry was removed several months later from my credit report, it caused the denial of credit. I am presently speaking with an attorney about filing suit. After researching this company, I learned they have been sued dozens of times in the last couple of years in federal court for violations of the FDCPA, FCRA and/or TCPA. I was unable to find any collection suits by them against consumers in my state. Perhaps you should check your county clerk and some of the larger CA counties to see if they are filing against consumers for debt collection suits.
