I received a call from this number. A woman identified herself as Nicole Cochran and said she works with the Criminal Investigation Dept. of Dorothy Thornton and Associates. She was calling on behalf of my sister and basically said if my sister didn't call by the end of the day (7-9-10) she would have a warrant out for her arrest. After making a phone call to someone else for help they said this person is probably just a collection agency and I shouldn't worry about it. Well, you do worry about it when these people are so sure-sounding and give you case numbers, etc.. I'm only posting this as another warning since a different phone number was listed when I Googled DT and Assoc.
I continue to receive calls form Dorthy Thornton and Associates claiming taht htye have an account from Quickest Cash advance for ma with an outstanding balance that needs to be taken care of. I have been trying and workign to pay off all of teh pday loans I took out and know that I settled this account with another company by sendign a moneygram for the amount requested. I received a letter from the company about this account. When I advised teh compnay of this they stated while youa re investigatign you need to go ahead and make payments. I advised taht I would not be conducting any business over the phone and advised them to send me via mail debt documentation with their compant letterhead statign waht this account was for, the amount owed, etc. The woman by the name of Erica Gilliam refused to so that and stated I guess youa re not trying to clear this account and hung up. I have learned taht if anyone has a debt with you supposedly than they would be likely to send you letters in the mail showing valid business information. I am currently getting my documentation together and will be contacting filing a complain and getting a lawyer.
I am an attorney in Johnson County, Texas. A client of mine called me on on 11-4-10 telling me that Nicole Cochran, who is supposedly a private investigator and a contract laborer for an attorney named Michael Cohen. I looked in the Georgia State Bar Directory, and found one attorney by that name from the 404 Atlanta, Georgia. I emailed him about Ms. Cochran's strong arm tactics and threats to have my client thrown in jail for a pay day loan supposedly taken out 2 years ago. He returned my email and we spoke on the phone. He had no knowledge of this person, and was very concerned that someone was using his name. This lady is very scary. She was able to threaten my client who eventually gave her a credit card number (unfortunately before calling me). This woman, whoever may be working with her, are committing violations of both state and federal laws. If you get a call from this woman, please contact me at 817-645-8829 if you are a Texas resident so that I can assist you in reporting her to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
I got a call from Nicole Cochran yesterday with the same rude threats. They tell me there address in 4700 Longemire Suite 47995, Atlanta, Ga. 30367.
They told me they work for LLC Dorsey Barrington. They were looking for my son and they drilled him and his wife so bad it was a nightmare. I can't believe people can make a threat to this extent. They wouldn't give me any information with who they worked for. I left them a message I needed this information if they were really who they were they should give me this info. They called back and gave me the address above and again very rude. But it was after about 5 calls they finally called me back with this information. I was told I was being loud and rude to them and they would make charges against me if I kept calling them. Anyway, they can put it out but can't take it back very well. VERY, VERY RUDE PEOPLE!!!! i can't believe people deal with the public the way they talk to people and still have a job unless it is a scam.
HAS ANYONE HERE ON THIS LIST, ACTUALLY HAD ANY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST YOU FROM THIS "CROOK" ??? I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A SCAM FROM ALL SCAMS AND SHE'S LOOKING TO GET MONEY FOR FREE. SHE'S AS MUCH OF AN INVESTIGATOR AS INSPECTOR GADGET, AND NEEDS TO GET A REAL JOB, AND MAKE HER MONEY THE OLD FASHION WAY, BY EARNING IT, NOT TAKING FROM OTHERS.
YES, WE RECIEVED A CALL FROM THIS "WOMAN".....................WE SPOKE TO AN ATTORNEY, AND ASLO A FEW "HIGH RANKING OFFICIALS" IN GEORGIA, AND, FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, THERE IS AN "ACTIVE" INVESTIGATION AGAINST "NICHOLE COCHRAN"
SHE'S TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO GIVING HER THERE CREDIT INFORMATION. IF THIS WAS LEGIT, SHE WOULD ACCEPT EVERY BIT OF PAYMENT THATS POSSIBLE, BUT, SHE WANTS EVERYONE TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD SO IT'S HARDER TO TRACK HER / OR THE "FIRM" SHE WORKS FOR, AND ALSO, THIS WAY, THEY HAVE PAYMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO "SIGN" FOR ANYTHING. IF THIS WAS LEGIT, THEY WOULD ACCEPT EVERY FORM OF PAYMENT THATS OUT THERE, BUT, IT'S NOT LEGIT, AND NEITHER IS SHE SO, TO ALL YOU GOOD, HARD WORKING PEOPLE OUT THERE, DON'T BE FOOLED BY HER. THE LORD WILL NOT ALLOW HER TO GO MUCH FURTHER BEFORE HE "DROPS THE HAMMER" ON HER FOR FRAUD. SHE MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SCARE A HUMAN, BUT SHE CANNOT SCARE THE LORD, AND THATS WHO SHE NEEDS TO BE SCARED OF. HE BROUGHT HER IN, HE'LL "TAKE HER OUT" HOPEFULLY OUT TO JAIL WHERE SHE BELONGS.
