No one gets a heads up they'll be served - the court process server just shows up, papers in hand. If your callers refuse to MAIL proof that you owe a debt and that they have the legal right to collect said debt, they are owed NOTHING, per the FDCPA. It's also illegal to threaten people with lawsuits to intimidate them into paying a debt. If you're concerned that you may actually have a lawsuit against you, call your local courts and ask them if your name is on any of the schedules. Call your local police - they'll even tell you this is not how the system works.
Advise the callers that you're recording all calls they make to you so your own lawyer (even if you don't have one) can file a lawsuit against them for multiple violations of the FDCPA. Report the calls to the FTC, the FBI, the Dept of Justice and your state's Attorney General.
Have received two of these stupid calls on my work phone from Ashley.. I don't answer the phone and they are a bunch of idiots. I called the FBI office in Atlanta and they are aware of this outfit, but couldn't provide specifics. Referred me to the Office of Consumer Affairs here at the governor's office. Also, put my number on FTC Do Not Call List, but honestly, that is a pretty worthless list, at least that is my experience.
Please read through all of these posts and take action. Don't just ignore the calls. NOT because they are legit- they are NOT. They are NOT legal. Do not give them any information, do not pay them a dime. Please file a complaint with the FTC (they are your best bet- they DO work to get these guys out of commission). Also the IC3 division of the FBI and your Atty General's office. Our Atty General has taken a hard stance on trying to stop these predators. But none of tees agencies can help if you do not report these calls to them. What they are doing is illegal!!
left a message threatening to serve me at home and place of employment (said she will be contacting Human Resources at my place of employment) wanted me to call back to confirm addresses and told me "good luck in court".
1) Did not use my married name, used previous married name
2) I am disabled, no place of employment
3) Left no company, client, of law firm name, only this phone number
4) Does not say what this is for
5) Said "As of now you are forfeiting your right to settle this matter".... *saved message
I wish there was a way to make this number to stop calling us and harassing everyone. It is a SCAM... we are all under enough stress to have to deal with these donkey butts.
I was told that it is a direct result of anyone who has applied for a cash advance through of those agencies in the past. They get your details from those applications. I am wondering if they are in cohorts with this place and has sold our confidential information to them.
Frustrating... I don't anyone any outstanding debts so it is truly even more aggravating...
