I have received several phone calls from a business from Carrollton, Texas, (I live in Mississippi), in which they say they collect old tickets for municipalities and that I owe a ticket from 18 years ago in Gulfport, Mississippi. I have told them several times, that I have no tickets in that town or any where else, and to stop calling my number. But they persist in calling. I told them if someone owes a ticket in a town/state, etc., usually the court where the ticket is owed contacts the alleged violator with a letter. I told them I called the municipality and spoke with a assistant court clerk, and gave them my info and she told me they have no ticket on me. She said it is probably a scam. So I filed a complaint with the FCC, FTC, CFPB and THe State Attorney General Office of texas and Mississippi against the company. If the phone calls don't stop, I am going to file a cause of action against them in federal and state court here in mississippi. Product or Service Mentioned: American Municipal Services, (collections). Reason of review: Employees keep making harassing phone calls to me, thus disturbing my right to peace and quiet and tranquility.. read more

American Municipal Service - This company makes annoying/harassing phone calls without good cause. - Carrollton, Texas

I received a letter from this company saying that I owed Euless Courts $683 for a ticket from 2004 and that I would have an arrest warrant issued for me if I did not pay them. They were thinking that I would not research this, but I did. I called Euless Courts and was told that they have no idea how they got my name and that I paid my ticket way back in 2004. Apparently they just send out random letters to a lot of people that have paid their tickets and think that people will be too afraid to research this. I called Euless Courts immediately and spoke with the person in charge. She sent over my records showing that the ticket had been paid. American Municipal Services was supposed to have let me know when they received this from the City of Euless, but they never did. I called them today and was told by a man with a very bad attitude that I owed nothing. He said they received this information on the 9th of this month. Today is the 22nd. They never called and were hoping that I would just naively send them money to the amount of $683. They were so nice when I "owed them money" but when they had found out I owed nothing; this guy was a real jerk. This is partially a real business, but they also scam people. If you receive a letter from them, always check with the County you supposedly owe money. I have heard people say that they received a letter for a ticket for a state that they have never been to. I have heard that the owner has been in all kinds of trouble for lying as well. Check all of the scam sites and you will find them all over the place. They're not reputable at all. I will never respond to them again. read more
