Just received a call from this number at my work. A male, Tyler think, stated he is calling me about a loan that was taken out in my name in 2012. Company name given is Parker Fellows and Smith. First off, for any debt collection in Washington State, they must be licences in Washington State.
Even if the loan was originally valid, they made it invalid by violating the collection laws in the State of Washington. They will also threaten jail time if you don't pay which is a violation of the FTC laws. I have been dealing with this for several years and I have repeatedly stated that the loan is illegal as I never took it out. The loan was made further invalid as they threatened me with jail time which rendered any loan invalid at that time. If you ever get a call from Parker Fellows and Smith, know that they will take on illegal loans and even if the loan itself is legal, their tactics will render most illegal. I would file a complaint with the FTC on this company.
This number belongs to CMRE Financial Services (3rd party debt collectors). This particular number belongs to a Jennifer Rodreguiez. The main office phone number is (800) 783-9118. The office address is 3075 East Imperial Highway, Suite 200, Brea, CA 92821.
