Same deal, some A$$hole calls and says he is 30 minutes away from my house and he is serving me papers for a court case and gives me my address and tells me "by law I have a right to know what this is about" and then he gives me a number to call and a case number. So I don't call the number and 10 minutes later some dirt bag calls and says he just heard from the first caller that I don't know what the court case is about, so he is going to transfer me to someone who can help. So now the original guy gets on the phone, the one who is supposed to be serving me papers in 15 minutes, and says he is in Culver City (300 miles away) and that they bought a 9 year old account and they are trying to collect, which I have no clue what it is or if it is even real. Idiots!! They say they are with GDF Financial, but I cant find anything on the net for GDF... they are just stupid bill collectors grasping for anything possible.
well i got the same call. This guy called and said he is from GDF financial. Said that he has papers to serve me. I said ok, What is it about? Stated that he will arrive shortly........4 HOURS LATER NOTHING. my credit report has a inquire from a GIF FINANCIAL. WEIRD
as of Sept 12, 2009 they are using telephone number 1 866 410 3239. The morons obviously don't do their research---they tried to collect on a debt that a relative of mine ran up ten years ago. They like to represent themselves as a "private investigator" who works for your local court system and has the power to serve a summons on you---this stuff should be reported to your local prosecutor since they are implying that they are officers of the court.
Got the same call as SuperChicken, from Investigator Paul Roberts says he is going to serve me papers at my place of employment, would be here within 30 minutes. He stated the suit was from a company by the name of GDF financial, well he has not shown up yet, it is the next day.
