Gatestone & Co Harassment: How to Stop the Calls, Verify the Debt, and Document Violations

If Gatestone & Co is contacting you and the calls feel nonstop, confusing, or pressure-driven, the quickest way to take control is to switch from phone conversations to written proof. That means: confirm you’re dealing with the real company, request validation, keep a call log, and save every voicemail or letter in case the conduct may violate federal law.

Who is Gatestone & Co?

Gatestone & Co (often listed as Gatestone & Co. International Inc.) is a third-party debt collection agency. On BBB, the company is categorized under Collections Agencies, and BBB notes it offers collection agency services. BBB also shows that the same business profile is linked to multiple names used in the marketplace, including Gatestone & Co, Collectcorp Corporation, Collection Corp, and CC Corporation. In addition, Gatestone runs a consumer payment website where it states the required disclosure: “This communication is from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt…”

Is Gatestone & Co a scam or a legitimate collector?

Gatestone appears to be a legitimate third-party debt collector with a BBB profile, published phone numbers, and a consumer payment portal.
That said, spoofing and impersonation can happen with any collector name. If the caller won’t provide written validation or the details don’t match the verified contact info below, treat the claim as unverified until you have paperwork.

Use the details below to match letters/calls and to send written requests.

Call-matching note (important)

Your draft included 877-897-7006. I did not see that number on Better Business Bureau or Gatestone’s official disclosures in the sources above, so if you want to keep it, label it as “consumer-reported/unverified unless it appears on your letter or voicemail.”

What harassment can look like with Gatestone & Co

If you believe the contact includes any of the following, it could potentially raise FDCPA/TCPA issues depending on the facts:

• Repeated calls meant to pressure you
• Threats that don’t match the paperwork you received
• Refusal to provide written validation
• Contacting third parties about the debt
• Using confusing “legal-sounding” language to rush payment

The key isn’t debating on the phone. The key is creating a paper trail.

State Licensing and Compliance Facts About Gatestone & Co

North Carolina’s Department of Insurance published a Voluntary Settlement Agreement entry and related regulatory action materials for Gatestone & Co. International, Inc. (license no. 119500633).
This doesn’t prove your individual situation is a violation, but it is real, state-level compliance information you can reference in a “compliance” section without guessing.

When Gatestone & Co won’t send written confirmation

If you ask for proof and you’re still being pushed to “pay today,” treat that as a documentation problem.

Use one sentence and repeat it:
“Send me written validation and an itemized balance. I’m not discussing payment by phone.”

Then stop talking and start documenting.

How Gatestone & Co Uses a Fast Writing Strategy

Step 1: Build a simple call log

Track:

• Date/time
• Number used
• What was said (especially threats)
• Whether you requested validation

Step 2: Request written validation

Ask for:

• Original creditor name
• Account/reference number
• Itemized balance (principal/fees/interest)
• Proof Gatestone is authorized to collect

Step 3: Don’t click random links

Only use the payment portal if you’ve confirmed it’s actually Gatestone’s site and the reference number matches the notice you received.

Success Stories

Amazing! My experience was very quick and easy and I got a nice settlement in no time. Also, their word was kept as far as not paying any fees. Zero out of pocket, and great settlement in return. 5 stars!

I ran into several financial hardships over the last few years. Constantly harassed by a company to pay up on fees owed that I wasn’t entirely sure were owed… because I was so overwhelmed. Scott and his crew came to my rescue. I was a bit unsure first wondering if it was a scam.:. But it was not! Scott got my close to $1,000 debt dropped and had the company pay the lawyer fees. I also haven’t received anymore harassing phone calls from the company that was trying to collect the debt. Thank you so much Scott!
