I received a call from 425-877-1452 (from Bothell,WA) trying to collect on an OLD debt from the late 90's. They didn't even have my name spelled correctly and had an address from 1997!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL - they claim to be a case holder on a legal civil suit (and will even give you a number to make it sound legit) and try to pressure you into giving them current info and setting a payment plan. DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AT ALL. They LIE about how they got the number they called to contact you - they call my ex-husband from 25 years ago and claimed they got his info from my application which was a downright LIE. BE VERY CAREFUL they will try to intimidate you into paying. They CANNOT sue you for a debt that the Statue of Limitations has run out - they can still try and collect it but they cannot violate your legal rights either. Look up the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT for more information on your rights.
Calls, didn't answer, out of state, message was about a law suit or claim against my property. This is a call from same company or companies that have bought real old debt for say 5/10 cents on the dollar hoping to pry something out of the debtor. My number was held by a person about 10 years ago who did owe somebody, but it isn't me. Also 425-670-8405 as IMR (Investment Management Recovery?) and 859-283-8071. Thing is debt that old is gone and written off and they aren't supposed to be calling you. If they ever find the person they are looking for and he/she talks to them (even just to say debt was written off) these companies may report the debt as "in negotiation" and reestablish the debt on your credit report. By the way, the message left was noisy an sounded like the person was in a boiler room with other people doing the same thing.

The person using this phone is definitely operating out of a boiler room.
This firm also uses the following numbers 425-286-2017 425-408-0961
They always use first names only. They refuse to properly identify themselves. They call
late at night, or early in the morning. Only young women in their early 20's do the calling.
They threaten a lawsuit. Give a fictitious case number. Mention fictitious creditors.
This firm deserves to be put out of business, and the callers definitely need some prison time.
I'm looking for all the info I can get on this firm to put a criminal case together against it.
