I was contacted by James Roberts. He said that we owed money and if we did not pay by Friday they were going to give my husbands debt case to a process server and he would issue a warrant. I told him we would like to make payment arrangements. He transferred me to the accounting department. A woman named Kathy spoke with me and said that she was with Blakewood Lord and Associates. I asked repeatedly if they were a collection agency, and was told they are only a mediation firm...BS. I called Blakewood Lord and Associates back and they had no Kathy there??? I told them I would like my validation of debt which is my right throught the FDCPA. I spoke with a woman named LISA!!! Lisa Wang perhaps??? coincidence??? LOL I think not. She said she had never heard of such a thing. I spoke with a John White and he said he would look into getting it for me. 24 hours later I have not received it and cannot get John White on the phone. I believe they are owned by Anaheim Asset Management. It is just a " face company" who "hires" Blakewood for mediation...that way they can say that they technically are not the debt collector. It is some seriously shady crap. I mentioned to the investigation company- Benchmark- and to Blakewood the Finance Code that they are directly in ciolation of. For the stat of Texas it is section 392.304. It covers coersion ( telling someone they will be arrested) as well as deceptive practices. It also states very clearly that they have to communicate clearly who is owed the debt. They did not appreciate that I had done my research. I have been hung up on 5 times. Now I have debt collectors DODGING MY CALLS. Talk about irony. Do not pay these scamming, lying, pieces of human waste.
Lisa, didnt I just get off the phone with you at blakewood lord associates? good try but we are on to you. you should give William hawthorne a call. I think he would definitely give you some money!

Oh I forgot to mention that a process server has no authority and nothing to do with issuing a warrant in the state of aTexas. That is handled by the DA. I mentioned this little fact to the "criminal investigator" Roberts and he got very defensive
