This company is actually Four Star Resolution, LLC (filed with New York State as 4 Star Resolution, LLC). They always call themselves F.S. (fill in the blank - Mediation, Legal, etc.). They are collecting on PayDay loans that were issued in New York and Maryland where they are illegal. Report them to the FTC, the CFPB and the New York Attorney General. Save the letters they send with a Canadian return address, they are an FDCPA violation by themselves (keep the envelope they are mailed with a Syracuse NY pre-sorted mail permit). A class action attorney could have a field day with a written threat of legal action on an illegally originated pay-day-loan.
**ALL OF THE DEBT THEY COLLECT ON IS PAST THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. LEGALLY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS DEBT.** Call your State Attorney General if you do not know the statute of limitations in your state and while you have them on the phone file a complaint against the company using their correct legal name and address contained in this post.
They actually operate out of a boiler rooms located at 1839 Seneca St., Buffalo, NY 14210 and a former Blockbuster store (seriously) at 2400 Seneca Street Suite 7, Buffalo, NY 14210.
File a complaint with the BBB that describes the company name and telephone number they are using currently if you receive a letter or a phone call. All of the names they use are totally fake and bogus: Frank White, Mark Johnson, Lisa Thompson, John Ford, etc.
Also Frank White or whatever name he's using nowadays has a wife dying of leukemia. Looks like Karma bit you in the butt scamster!
The company is owned by Travell Thomas. Travell likes to hide his location and doesn't come into the office much, but his mother Cynthia Thomas lives at 56 Fennimore Ave., Buffalo, NY 14215. You can give her a call at (716) 837-2858.
The New York State Attorney General is aggressively pursuing rogue debt collectors and people who collect on payday loans which are illegal in New York. Report this company to the NY Attorney General by calling (800) 771-7755. Let them know the fake number they called you from, the fake company name used in the call with you and the legal name and address of the company contained in this post.
You can also file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at http://www.consumerfinance.gov
I too recieved this call little did they know i would do my research especially after the Mrs. Richardson threatened to come to my house and xalled my mother in law and gave her all information that was FALSE about me. They told me i owed a principal amount of 1100 dollars on a card i had a 500 dollar balance on when i was 18. I did owe them money but they sold it off and needless to say i spoke to 20 different companies who my card had been sold to it was not them. But they had alot of information about me so beware. Also they told me they were SS mediation and legal services. They have my social now not like they can do anything with it ;) i wouldnt want my credit!

Fraud !! !! Fraud !! Fraud !! Fraud !! Fraud !!
Be very aware of these people. So these guys have called me for the past year or so. They always leave this voice mail saying "Hello this notification is for (my name) a local merchant has filed a notice regarding a return note, this return item is linked to your name and driver's license number, for more information plaese contact our office at 313-405-7357, this is your official notice." I don't do business in Los Angeles and I live in San Diego. The only time I go to Los Angeles is once a year when I go to Disneyland and the one hotel I stay at and one restaurant that I eat at there I know the owners so if I had a problem I'm sure the last time I went I would of known about it through the restaurant owner since we talk about once a month. Disney sure as hell doesn't hire a voice service to do their dirty work, and I'm sure Double Tree/Hilton doesn't either. What business asks for your driver's license to buy a bottle of water or gas? This sounds and smells like a sure scam! They call from a Los Angeles area code number 213-486-3603 be very cautious when talking to these guys, this is a scam and they will milk you for every dollar they can.
Its a debt collector trying to collect a 4 year old debt using scare tactics.
They are claiming I defrauded a merchant using a card/account that was closed 4 years ago.
Is this company even a collection agency? I get a call from my mom telling me that these people are calling her everyday. I call them and they mention a charged off account with Citibank which is about to go into litigation. Do I call citibank or deal with these people? I have no mail, emial, smoke signal or anything from these people but they want a payment.
