Matthew Keller called my ex-wife from 312-265-4816 and told her that there was a "civil claim" filed against me, and would sue me. Gave a claim# and all...
I had the same thing happen to me twice from this company,calling TWO different family members. However, the 2nd time the guy used the name Matthew Keller (prob. an alias, I'm sure they have many). Its a clandestine operation out of Illinois, somewhere in Chicago area. Their website has NO fax # and no physical address. What does that tell you? Their website looks like a piece of crap put together by some uneducated child - what does that tell you? This GROUP OF EXTORTIONISTS apparently buy VERY, VERY OLD data from God knows where (it could be any number of companies/individuals having access to old databases)and then proceed to chase after the money on the old debt,sometimes quite violently and aggressively. I've done quite a bit of research on them. I also found ONE other person I know personally who has experience with this COLLECTION COMPANY. They will stop at nothing to extract info. from the person on the phone, even claim to be filing lawsuits and working w/ the FBI. The United States of America does NOT have a "debtors prison." People in the U.S. have NEVER gone to jail for debts, that's why our ancestors left England (they had debtor's prison). DO NOT let these evil people sweat you!! They are liars and abusors who will stop AT NOTHING to get to you. They are purely evil people ... no wonder debt collections has high turnover. And yes, like others have mentioned on here, they sound like they're straight FROM THE HOOD ... ghetto that is. Do NOT give them anything!!
312-265-4816 called about 10 times straight and my wife answered the phone and hung up in their face. The man then called back and called my wife a [***]. called her stupid and other names. These people need to go down. I'm waiting for the next call to record and put some paperwork on them.

just got a similar call from Matthew Keller last night (6/2/2009) after he contacted two of my relatives. the claim against me is bogus as i've never owned a VISA from the bank he mentioned. the phone practices and web site do look suspicious -- thanks to whomever posted the link to the FTC. i have filed a complaint.
A woman called and left a message on the answering machine that there was a civil complaint about some man who I have never heard of. She gave a case number and said to return the call. The number given was 312-265-4816. I won't be returning the call. I'm sdo glad I found THIS site to give me the heads up. Thank you.
