My daughter received a collection notice for a Magazine, from North Shore Agency. She did not solicit or request the magazine.

NSA sent HER a collection notice for $24.00. I have contacted the magazine - yet to hear back, so I filed a complaint with the AG's office and BBB. Want some good reading, search the BBB for this agency and take a gander. Go figure.

I didn't order the mag, my wife didn't order the mag and my daughter didn't order the mag, wonder if the collection agency did?, maybe they should send themselves a collection notice?!?!

Also makes you wonder just who is in on the scam? Maybe the AG's office can determine that.

Monetary Loss: $24.

Location: Portland, Texas

I believe I ordered Girls World for my granddaughter, but she never received it. I was billed for 12 editions of the magazine, and before I knew it, I received a collection letter from the collection agency.. Infuriating

I received a bill from North Shore Agency for flower bulbs I ordered last Spring from Publishers Clearing House. I called Publishers Clearing House today and told them I was certain I had paid this bill.

They said yes I had a zero balance and they do not use a collection agency.

What bothers me is how did this scam company know I ordered the bulbs from Publishers Clearing House with the correct order number? Many people may just go ahead and pay it leading to more fraud.

On the same day that I got bill for $79, a "sixth and final notice" and "If we do not receive payment within 60 days, the account will be turned over to an authorized third party for collection" from The Nation Magazine, I also got a letter from North Shore Collection Agency demanding payment of $79. North Shore Agency has "For your convenience, you may pay by ...credit card through our secure website...." SCAM

A North Shore Agency collection letter was received by an elderly friend who has not subscribed to nor received a Harper's magazine. It is getting to the point where no one should ever respond to door to door,e-mail,or U.S.

mail subscription offers. Perhaps then these sleez bags will find another method for fleecing the unsuspecting.

I am experiencing exactly the same scenario. This is clearly a scam.

But what's even more interesting, is that before I was contacted by North Shore Agency, I also received very unpleasant letters from "Harper's subscription department" hectoring me for not meeting my obligations, and is that how I was raised, etc? Completely ludicrous - could not possibly have been sent by Harper's, which is a decent magazine last time I checked.

I received a notice from North Shore about a year and a half ago. I have a friend who is a collection agent and told me they do not have a good reputation in the collection community.

I received notice because I took a free sample magazine from Harpers. After reading the sample issue I decided I didn't like it and didn't want to get a subscription. Because I didn't subscribe Harpers gave my name to North Shore saying I owed them money for the subscription and North Shore began sending me letters. I sent a note to Harpers to tell them I didn't subscribe to the magazine, I only took the free sample they offered.

I heard nothing from Harpers and kept getting notices from North Shore. I couldn't reach anyone at North Shore by phone, so I called the publisher of Harpers and complained.

They took care of it for me by contacting North Shore. Harpers did the right thing but I was surprised that such a well established and prestigious magazine would be so sleazy.
