Yep, long time WISE company, mentioned a few times on ARS.

Here's an ad they had on Club Theta:

Atkinson-Baker is a 4 time Model of Admin Know How award winning WISE company located in Glendale and we are looking for an experienced Collections Manager to handle our collectors (6 of them) and do some collections. Some Collections experience and managerial experience required. Compensation negotiable depending on experience. We have benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision,401(k)) as well as a WISE course room where you can train. Please call Craig at 818-551-7300 ext 220, fax resume to 818-551-7330 or email to cwri...@depo.com

And depo.com is Atkinson-Baker.

I sure wouldn't want them near any court records where Scientology was involved in the case.
