They’re legit. According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Pendrick Capital Partners, LLC is a legitimate debt collection agency, founded and incorporated in 2010. The BBB established a profile page for PCP in 2012. PCP is listed as a financial services corporation. Buzzfile has three listings for PCP: one listing indicates a headquarters location in Alexandria, VA and a founding date of 2015; another listing indicates the headquarters is located in Key West, FL with a founding date of 2011; and a third listing indicates the headquarters is located in Glens Falls, NY, with a founding date of 2010. Altogether, Buzzfile estimates Pendrick Capital Partners’ annual revenue at $139,583 and the size of its staff at 2 employees.
According to its website, Pendrick Capital Partners “is a market leader in medical debt purchasing with a long and respectable reputation for treating both clients and consumers fairly and courteously.” PCP’s one-page website does not provide a lot of detailed information about their business practices, services offered, or compliance polices. Instead, the page is divided into several sections: About Us; Why Pendrick?; Examples of Our Work; and Salesforce. Their website provides a main telephone number but no mailing or physical address.
Pendrick Capital Partners About Us section informs site visitors that PCP is a very large debt purchasing firm, with a portfolio of 75 million accounts valued at $25 million. Pendrick Capital Partners claims to have 8 years of industry experience and a management team with a combined 100 years of experience in healthcare receivables management.
The About Us section also informs site visitors the PCP “regularly audits its affiliated agencies to ensure all collection activity is done in a way that is compliant with all state and federal regulations, as well as guidance from the CFPB and court decisions.” PCP also employs a policy of compassion “to ensure consumers are treated with respect and professional courtesy.” PCP employs a process whereby accounts are placed “through an extensive network of top-rated medical collection agencies,” rather than performing any of the collection activities themselves.
Pendrick Capital Partners “Why Pendrick?” section informs site visitors that using PCP’s services will increase cash flow, lower risk, and increase staff productivity. The “Examples of Our Work” section provides testimonials from healthcare providers. The Salesforce link provides a login window for client accounts. The PCP website does not provide links to consumer protection resources, laws, or enforcement agencies.

It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. It is also unlikely PCP 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. Find out if we can help you too today!

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a Sample Case Complaint:
In 2019, a proposed class action was filed in Florida federal court claiming that Pendrick Capital Partners, LLC and Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC misled a consumer with regard to the possible revival of her time-barred debt.
Complaints against Pendrick Capital Partners commonly cite problems resulting from information reported to the credit reporting agencies and requests for debt verification, as well as dissatisfaction with the way in which PCP addresses those concerns. In March 2017, a complainant indicated that she had received an emergency room bill for her daughter from 2014. The item appeared on her credit report with PCP identified as the original creditor. After paying the bill, one of the agencies deleted the item, but the other two continued to report it as a delinquency. The complainant indicated that she had called Pendrick Capital Partners and requested their assistance in resolving the problem. PCP verified that the bill had been paid but declined to intervene with the credit reporting agencies. According to the complainant, PCP was “giving…her the run around to contact each agency they sold the account…to so they could remove it from reporting.” The complainant insisted that “collection agencies should not report delinquencies if the account is being transferred to another agency.” In addition, the complainant indicated that “the collection is still being reported by one of PCP’s agencies, even though they…have not had the account since February 7th, 2017.” The complainant requested that PCP remove the collection item attributed to their collection agency.
In response, Pendrick Capital Partners acknowledged that the complainant was dissatisfied with the delinquencies appearing on her credit report. They corrected the complainant’s reporting of events, insisting that although she had paid the account, it was not until March 2017. They assured her that the “payment will be reported to… the credit reporting agencies within the time limits specified by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).” As for her request to have PCP intervene on her behalf, PCP indicated that they are “not a data furnisher to any credit reporting agency and as such have no direct ability to update her credit report.” However, they indicated that their affiliated collection agency, Revenue Group, “has deleted their tradeline regarding the above account and sent the deletion request to the credit bureaus. They have also sent written confirmation of that directly to” the complainant. Pendrick Capital Partners reminded the complainant that “PCP or Revenue Group cannot control how long that deletion will take at each credit reporting agency.”
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.

“As we discussed on the phone earlier today, this settlement is perfectly okay to me. I need to thank you and all of your cohorts at Lemberg Law to get a project handled so professionally. Please allow Amy, the first person who contacted me from Lemberg, know how much I appreciate her efforts, kindness, and professionalism.”
“I won’t be afraid to contact you or recommend your services to others for applicable legal issues. Please keep up the outstanding work you do, and again, thank you for helping me through this challenging time. I’m most grateful. I can not say thank you enough!”
“I received outstanding professionalism from the own staff. I had a horrible experience when trying to solve a debt. 1 debt collector associate said she would speak to the prosecutor’s office and another representative told me that when I called the office back he would call the police and have me arrested. I had been insulted, mocked, and threatened, and feared that the police would appear at my door any given moment.”
“I just wanted to let you know we received the check from your office on now and I wanted to take some time to inform you that we really appreciate all of your efforts in this matter.”
We can absolutely help. Call us today.

I received a letter from Phoenix Financial Services stating they were representing Pendrick Capital Partners. They will not disclose what the bill is for, or a breakdown of the bill they have sent. What do we do with this bill?
Harvard Collections is a fraud. This company knew that my case was settled and yet still demand that I pay money to them, or else. Harvard Collections gave me one hour to settle the case (2/20/19) for 306.00 or else they would further damage my credit history. This has continued for 2 years now.
I want to stop the harassment and delete Kendrick capital pCP from my credit report.
