The harassing company pays our fees.
They’re legit. According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Alpha Recovery Corp was founded in 2010 and incorporated in the same year. The BBB established a profile page for Alpha Recovery in 2011, and Alpha has been a BBB-accredited business since 2016. The BBB lists Alpha Recovery as a collection agency. Buzzfile estimates Alpha’s annual revenue at $4.8 million and the size of its headquarters staff at 33 employees.
Alpha Recovery Corp’s website advertises specialized service in four areas: collections, purchasing, asset sales, and consulting. Their collections services division is active in virtually all areas of business: consumer credit card debt; installment loans; secured and unsecured loans such as auto repossessions; student loans; retail credit cards; and other areas like healthcare; commercial; and utilities
In addition to acting as a third-party collection agent, Alpha Recovery’s purchasing division takes over the “non-performing” accounts of other businesses; their asset sales division buys and sells the inventories of struggling businesses; and their consulting division employs people to manage other companies in the ARM industry.
Alpha Recovery is a purely financial organization whose revenue follows directly from the inability of individuals to meet their financial obligations or from the inability of businesses to remain profitable. As a result, their business practices are necessarily predatory in nature. Complaints indicate that their written communication is often characterized by false and misleading language, and that their customer service efforts are often substandard and characterized by abusive language.
If you’ve suffered from AR debt harassment, you do have options. Under the law you can recover up to $1,000 for violations of the FDCPA, and $500 to $1,500 for each cell phone robocall.

It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. It is also unlikely Alpha Recovery Corp would sue you for a debt you may not owe or they cannot validate. However, debt collection agencies are known to have summoned debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. Contacting an attorney BEFORE this could possibly happen would be a smart move. We’ve helped thousands of consumers fight back against unscrupulous debt collection harassers.

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. Here’s an example of a case filed in federal court.
On March 10, 2017, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Division accepted a class action complaint against Alpha Recovery and Bureaus Investment Group 15, LLC (BIG 15) demanding a jury trial for violations of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. Citing a class “so numerous that joinder is impracticable,” but definitely exceeding fifty members, the action cited specifically that, according to 15 U.S.C. § 1692g(a)(3) of the FDCPA, a debt collector must “unambiguously inform the unsophisticated consumer that, unless the consumer disputes the debt within the 30 day validation period, the debt collector is permitted to assume the debt is valid.” Alpha Recovery was cited with deliberately and repeatedly using false and misleading language to prevent consumers form understanding their rights. This specific violation was cited as illustrative in practice and theory of additional violations by Alpha Recovery and BIG 15. Although this case demonstrated very specific instances of willful violations of federal statues, a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal was issued on May 22, 2017 and the case was terminated on May 23, 2017.
Press Releases of Lawsuits Brought On By Lemberg Law
May 18, 2017. On behalf of our client, Lemberg Law recently filed a complaint in U.S. District Court, District of Maryland. The case, against Alpha Recovery Corp, charges the debt collection agency with violating state and federal law and asks for $1,000 in statutory damages under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, actual damages under the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act, and other relief.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was enacted so that consumers wouldn’t have to put up with abusive tactics. After Alpha Recovery Corp start calling our client about a debt, he told him that he had not received a letter regarding the debt and that he did not want to pay the debt until he received a letter. In response, he says that the debt collector accused him of stalling and told him that he should “own up” to his responsibilities. He was then transferred to a manager, who told him that he – the manager – would not do anything “this stupid” with his money. He also called our client a failure. Moreover, the manager claimed that our client’s ex-wife must have “run up” the debt, and then mocked our client’s vocabulary.
This lawsuit charges that Alpha Recovery Corp violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) by engaging in harassing behavior; by using abusive language; and by using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt. The lawsuit also charges that Alpha Recovery Corp violated the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act by using obscene and grossly abusive language.
Federal laws protect you. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) regulates the behavior of collection agencies by prohibiting actions such as the use of abusive or threatening language; harassment; or the use of false or misleading information to collect a debt. The FCRA regulates how collection agencies and creditors report delinquent debts to credit reporting agencies. Additional consumer protection laws include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA).
Yes. If you want to enforce your rights, or recover money for violations — you need to sue. Federal laws provide individuals like you with a means to seek monetary damages in court. For example, the FDCPA allows consumers who have been violated to recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
Consumers have reported this agency harassing them from the following numbers:
You may have a case, if…
“We were so impressed with how the attorney listened to us and understood the position we were in. Thank you for stopping the calls. The check was a nice bonus, but mostly we’re glad we’re not being hounded anymore.”
“Lemberg Law contacted me within a couple of hours of me submitting my info on their site. That same day Daniel emailed me instructions on what to do the next time the collection agency called. Within a week, the calls had stopped. Today marks week 2 and we’ve not had a call in three days. I can’t say thank you enough.”
“I can’t praise your service enough. I was lost and just really wanted my credit report cleaned up. You have gone beyond my expectations. Thanks again!”

First I say, remove my cell number from file,its mine he says well i need 2 numbers in order to work out a plan, i said no,here’s my house number and dont call my cell again. Tells me his 3 options. ,i explained our situation, say dont have any of those but we can pay 200.00 a month then says ok 500 down 247 a month again I said no and all of a sudden comes out with well you can pay the 500. You have a 1500 credit card available I said ABSOLUTELY NOT. I WILL NOT PAY A DEBT FROM A CREDIT CARD AND I SAID 200 A MONTH. Then he says ,I’m being course and have taken over the conversation when it is he who is in controll as I’m the one tha owes the money. First of all, the account does not have my name on it. 2nd I did take control as I will not have someone tell me to use my credit card available forbade down payment on a owed debt to make payment on. Alexander, your in the wrong business. Wow. This was the 3rd call on my cell phone from Alpha. Can you help
Hello, I got several calls to both my work and cell phone at the end of October, from Alpha Recovery Corp. That same day, somewhere around Oct. 29th, I sent a cease and desist letter to them via certified mail. I told them to verify the debt, and to stop all calls…that everything moving forward should be send to me in writing. Today I started receiving calls from them again (11/13/19) to both my work and cell phone.
I received collection calls from a Warren King regarding a debt. I am currently working with a 3rd party in settling my accounts. Prior to Mr. King reaching me, he has called several other people and shared with them that they were attempting to reach me and shared the amount that I owed as well as sharing that I have not paid. I experienced financial hardship and I am in the process of settling the debt. Although I let Mr. Kind know that I plan to pay the debt and I am working with a third party, I continue to receive his calls. I applied for the credit as a sole applicant (without a cosigner) and him sharing the amount I owe and that I have not paid has been really challenging and embarrassing. He asked questions of the person (to verify), but also shared my personal information and debt.
I’m being harassed by a collection agency that my original debtor says they didn’t even assign!
This company has been calling my cell phone and harassing me for over a year now. Basically since I got this new phone and number. They keep asking for a name that I am not familiar with, I do not owe any outstanding debts. I have told them they have the wrong number / person, and ask to have my number removed from the call list. They say they will remove it and then a few weeks later, another call comes in. Today I got irate with them and demanded my number be removed, explaining this has been going on for some time now. This time they tell me they cant find my number in their system. Then I tell them the name they keep asking for, and now all of a sudden they cant find that in their system either. How convenient! So now asking to speak to a supervisor some deushe bag tells me thats not necessary and also tells me they will be using my recorded call from earlier (I was cussing, furious I was being called AGAIN) to coach the employee that handled it. I said NO, I do not consent to that, I dont care if its recorded or not, I dont consent to my recorded call being used for training purposes, as I have no business with your company! He tried to argue it, kept speaking over me and interrupting, so I eventually hung up on him. So at this point, I am interested in a lawsuit. This company should have their business license revoked, or some sort of disciplinary action.
These people have contacted me several times. They start off saying can i speak with & i say this is she, then they say i need to verify who i am and ask what are the last 4 digits of your SSN & birth date, i tell them i don’t know you and i’m not giving you that info. they then say their name, and again i say i don’t know you or who you work for. they say i work for ARC, i say i don’t know that company, i don’t do business with that company im not giving you any personal information, then they proceed to say no problem i have all of your info and state my SSN, phone #, birth date etc and want me to verify it, i say no i don’t know who you are and i’m not verifying anything with you. How can they say someone personal info not knowing if they are even talking to the right person. then they want to argue with me about everything never telling me what they want or why they called and i just hang up on them. I’ve had about 4 phone calls from them & one at work. I still have no idea who they are or what they want. I’ve gotten no mail from them or anyone else i may owe that i don’t already know about.
They just called me at 8:10pm and before I could verify anything this lady tells me my ss#, birthday,address,etc.is that legal
?it freaked me out cause I have no idea who she was and she had no idea who I was
This company just contacted me about a debt–I have never received a letter or any information from them about this debt until this phone call. They were abusive on the phone and I finally just said thank you for calling and hung up. I do owe the debt they were calling about, but have been diagnosed with MS and haven’t worked in 4 years. It is impossible for me to pay this debt on the limited income I have.
I worked for this company and they are inconsistent in every facet on collecting, they treat they’re employees like crap and expect loyalty. But they are liars and backstabbers if you aren’t in they’re circle of brown nosers or subservient. Sue these guys theyset aside a 150k budget just for that reason. They collect 2million a month they set aside monies because they are raking in money hand over fist. these losers don’t care about anyone James Mcbee is their mouthpiece and delaratta is the pusher. These two are narcissistic pos.
they keep changing their number, won’t give me the company name, 6613753919 6613753914, 6613753905 come off as threatening, but let me know they’re recording the call. They ask for a person by name, but won’t give me any information. Sometimes I recognize the name and sometimes I don’t and even if I say so they insist they have the right number. using a voip phone local looking number but it doesn’t seem like a landline.
They keep calling my work and harassing me there. I have asked repeatedly numerous times for them to not call my work number and when I ask them questions on who they represent they hangup on me.
I’ve been dealing with Alpha for a few years and that’s exactly how they treat me as well. And every year they call and say that I’m required by law to increase the amount they take from my checking account monthly. Now I can’t answer my phone because I can’t afford another increase.
I took have been a victim of this company. The debt belongs in my spouses name. They demanded payment over the phone and said they would not update his credit showing it was clear. This agent said it was our responsibility to clear it. Towards the end of the call he started yelling at me and became more condescending. It got to the point where he would not even let me speak…I said goodbye and hung up. When I asked how phone numbers to family members were obtained and why his record was being discussed with others he did not have an answer. This is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. I quickly realized they operate by using fear and absive language.
