I was just called today from these same people. I got a call first on my cell from a "Private Number", when answered, this lady told me that a collection agency had been trying to reach me and this was the final attempt. She gave me the number to PNC Capital Group with an account number. When I called the lady was talking very fast and said I had taken out a loan back in 2008 first, then she said it was taken out back in 1997 and payments had been made until January of 2010. Every time I tried to ask her a question she would cut me off and after trying again with a raised voice she said she would not be yelled at and hung up on me. I called back numerous times and kept getting very little bits of information from her. She said she was going to have papers served on me at my job as well. I NEVER took out a loan in 1997 or in 2008, as a matter of fact I couldn't have taken out a loan for a piece of gum in either year because of student loans. (Which are current by the way, and nothing is showing in the negative on my credit report). I think this is all a scam because she said to me that unless I was willing to set payment arrangements up, there was nothing else she would discuss with me.
I found this on this company:

---I have an attorney for this sort of [***] since even if they were legit half these morons violate the TCPA, FDCPA, FCRA and all sorts of other laws. I sued one debt collector and won and I've sent cease and desist orders to about 10 and they all stopped (except one that's lucky I didn't sue them. They stopped after that).
P.S. You can also sue spammers. Most states allow it if fraud is involved. Like in my state they have to have ADV on the subject line and the opt out link has to actually work. CANSPAM actually allows the suits because they fall under the fraud clause. Look up the danhatesspam website for more info.
As for PNC they were very rude, wouldn't give anything in writing and wouldn't provide their address. If they happen to be real or a subsidiary of a real company they're getting sued.
they called me today lady was very rude i asked for info she talked so fast then h/up on me cmy mother called back lady said my mom was a bulldog an h/up a second time who ever they are they are crazy
I received a phone call today from someone named "Sabrina" (or "Little Miss Attitude" as I affectionately call her). I usually don't answer private calls, but my curiosity got the better of me this time. The initial call was from a private number, but I didn't answer before it went to voicemail. Little Miss Attitude left me a message telling me that they were contracted to serve me with legal documents at my residence or place of business and wanted to know if I would available between 12 and 2pm tomorrow to receive them. "I would suggest that you call us no later than 24 hours or we will deem this information correct and be forced to pursue the file". She also gave a reference number and (626) 537-2297 as the number to call. She also obnoxiously wished me a "good day, Mrs. XXXXXXXX". I'm not a Mrs. and never have been. I will not be calling them back, although I wish I could get further information, so I can file an official complaint against them. They usually end up calling and harassing my mom, too. She has health issues and when they mess with her, it really upsets me. I DO NOT have anything in collections. I have noticed that I have had people contact me regarding debts I've previously paid, and they are trying to collect on them again.
****UPDATE**** I verified I have ZERO collections on my credit report, but this company is listed as making inquiries starting 12/27/13. I did not apply for credit either recently either. They do not have my current address. The address identification number on the report refers to an old address I haven't used in many years.

Parents received a called from P&C Capital Group stating a process server was coming out to their home to serve them regarding "my" so-called debt from 1995! When I called to speak to them they would not give me any information regarding the debt, only that if I did not pay it right then they would see me in court. Extremely nasty people and as we all know, or should know, NEVER give credit card info, ssn info to a company who is asking for $$$$ but will not discuss anything regarding the debt or give you any information. Then I asked for their address and Ms. Taylor (she claims that is her name) gave me an address 111 MIdway Drive Dallas TX 73167-guess what, that zip code is for Oklahoma City! The city 1-888-837-9840 is the number they gave. I saw on the other post that P&C had inquired on their credit reports and sure enough on 12/27/2013 they inquired on mine as well! I called the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs here in GA at 404-651-8600 to issue a complaint!!! EVERYONE BEWARE!!!
