I have also received calls from this # from a Peter Jones. When I requested that I be sent something in the mail regarding this he stated that they did not send information in the mail. I have received calls from him at home as early as 7:20 am and daily at work. I requested that I not be contacted at work. Even when I gave him a date of when I could make a payment I still received daily calls from him. When I told him that he was harrassing me by all of the calls I was then called by a Anna Cooper (at my place of employment) who stated that she was a legal investigator for United Investigations. I offered to make a payment when I got off work that day. She advised me that I only had one hour to pay the entire balance or she would be sending federal officers to my work place to have me arrested. She also stated that I would need to contact my childrens school/daycare to advise them that officers would be taking them into protective custody. I don't have any childre. She also requested to speak to my supervisor to advise him of what would be happening, which I refused. She requested that I send the payment via Money Gram on a "green form" to Smit Shah in Highwood, IL. When I went to send the Money Gram I was told by the agent that the green form is for the person receiving the $$. She said that if I was sending $$ to pay a bill it would go on a different form and that it would require an account #. I tried several times to call the 305-396-9594 # and reached a recording that said the "selected destination is unreachable." The only time I was able to get through to someone on this # was at about the time I was supposed to call and give Anna Cooper the confirmation # of the transaction. When I was able to speak with her and asked for an account # she stated that I did not need one since it was being sent to directly to the director of the company that the $$ was owed to. She stated that the reason it was being sent to a person instead of a company was because the fees are cheaper. I was told that the $$ was owed to Midland Marketing. When I requested a phone # for that company she refused to give me a # stating that I was wasting her time. Upon investigation I found that there is no Midland Marketing in Highwood. The only thing that is listed for that name is in Northfield, IL. I contacted the company and was advised that they do not do any kind of loans and that there was no one there by the name of Smit Shah. I have notified the Illinois Attorney General's office regarding this for investigation.
I have been receiving calls from these people for months and what I did I asked for a fax # and they gave me 404-393-4098 but they have called from 305-259-0300, 904-596-0130, 805-233-6387, 904-758-0703 and 305-396-9594 giving names of Peter Jones, Paul Williams, Robert Johnson and Sr. Officer Daniel White and they all say they are calling from the U.S. Process legal department. They give me a bank account from 2007 and I do not even use that bank anymore. I got to the point I told them I do not work here anymore when they call my place of employment. I sent them a fax stating that I will pay when they send me something in writing but they said when I make a payment then I will get something in writing. I told them NO.
Called for someone in our office and was told he was not employed here. Is asking for son to harrass him. Peter Jones was asked nicely the first time not to call here again and sternly the second time. At that time he yelled and threated that they would continue to call here just to wait and see.
PETER JONES CALLED ME AGAIN TODAY AND LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY PHONE SAYING THAT HE HAS MY SSN# AND WILL HAVE MY DRIVERS LICENSE PULLED. HE SAID THAT HE WILL SEND MY FILE TO THE COURTS. I AM REALLY NOT WORRIED ABOUT THIS BUT IM WORRIED BC THESE PEOPLE HAVE MY SSN# AND KEEP THREATENING ME. EVEN IF I OWE ANYTHING THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE GETTING A DIME OF MY MONEY BC I KNW THAT THIS IS NOT LEGIT. BUT I TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE THAT I DO OWE TO PAY THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY INFORMATION WAS SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY BUT THAT DID NOT KNOW WHO AND I ASKED IF I COULD SEND THEM WHAT I OWE BUT THE LADY SAID THAT THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE BC IT HAS BEEN SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT RECIEVE A DIME FROM ME.
We just had 6 more calls from this place. Donna have you heard from the Illinois Attorney General's office yet. Where else do you lodge a complaint with. Please reply back and let me know if anyone has any ideas.
I haven't heard back from the Attorney Generals Office yet. May take a couple of weeks. I haven't had anymore calls yet but I'm waiting because I'm going to ask their lic # to collect funds in this state. If you are in Illinois, collection agencies and loan companies are governed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. I work for this state agency however I work in Professional Regulation not Financial. I do have access to the rules and regulations that govern their operation though. Even if they do happen to have a lic they are not operating within their guidelines. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from Atty Gen.
