Who called from 7144755326

I am so sick of getting calls from these people....my home # is new and unlisted, but somehow still got a hold of it.
When I ask questions they don't respond. Nothing they say is legit. They do act like the FBI and try to scare you!!
I have reported them so we shall see..

I got a call from these people also. Somehow they reached out to a distant family member and I called them back and when they answered the ph-they do not mention a company name just "hello!' I gave the acct # and then I was  immediatley transfered to another person  who gave me my info-full nme and lst 4 of my ssn!! Scary! I was really thrown off by this and they never mentioned that they are a debt collection agency or that they are debt collectors! They are required to give the min miranda and 2 party (call recorded) they do not! I am going to report them to the FTC, I called them today to get the ball rolling! This is silly this is why people have a hard time trusting legit debt collectors. When I asked for a website and address the man said they dont have one and would not give me an address. I asked for them to provide proof of debt and he gave a ph# to call???? They better know who they are talking to and they better read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act!  Everyone read it and beware of scammers!!! know your rights and guess what you as the consumer can SUE them if they are harrassing!   Read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, its your friend!

WHEREAS, The Banking Commissioner (“Commissioner”) is charged with the administration of Part XII of Chapter 669, Sections 36a-800 to 36a-810, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, “Consumer Collection Agencies”, and the regulations promulgated thereunder;

WHEREAS, the Commissioner, through the Consumer Credit Division of the Department of Banking, conducted an investigation pursuant to Section 36a-17 of the Connecticut General Statutes into the activities of Platinum to determine if it had violated, was violating or was about to violate the provisions of the Connecticut General Statutes within the jurisdiction of the Commissioner;

WHEREAS, on December 15, 2008, the Commissioner, acting pursuant to Section 4-182(c) of the Connecticut General Statutes, Section 36a-804(a) of the 2008 Supplement to the General Statutes, and Sections 36a-51(a) of the 2008 Supplement to the General Statutes, issued Notice of Automatic Suspension, Notice of Intent to Revoke Consumer Collection Agency License and Notice of Right to Hearing (collectively “Notice”) against Platinum, which Notice is incorporated by reference herein;

WHEREAS, the Notice alleged that Platinum, in violation of Section 36a-802(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes failed to maintain a surety bond;

WHEREAS, on December 22, 2008, Platinum received the Notice, and no request for a hearing was received by the Commissioner;

WHEREAS, Platinum agrees to voluntarily enter into this Settlement Agreement without admitting or denying any allegations contained in the Notice set forth herein, and solely for the purpose of obviating the need for formal administrative proceedings concerning the allegation described above;

WHEREAS, Platinum, through its execution of this Settlement Agreement, voluntarily agrees to waive any rights to a hearing upon the allegations contained in the Notice, and waives the right to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Settlement Agreement;

AND WHEREAS, upon the entry of this Settlement Agreement, this matter will be resolved and the Commissioner will not take any future enforcement action against Platinum based upon the allegations contained in the Notice.

NOW THEREFORE, the Commissioner and Platinum enter into this Settlement Agreement as follows:

1. Prior to the date this Settlement Agreement is executed by the Commissioner, Platinum will surrender its consumer collection agency license, No. 20638 and cease engaging in the business of a consumer collection agency in Connecticut from 3800 Watt Avenue, Suite 225, Sacramento, California;
2. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall adversely affect the ability of Platinum to apply for or obtain a license or renewal license under Part XII of Chapter 669 of the Connecticut General Statutes in the future; and
3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Settlement Agreement, execution of this Settlement Agreement is without prejudice to the right of the Commissioner to take enforcement action against Platinum to enforce this Settlement Agreement if the Commissioner determines that Platinum is not fully complying with any term or condition stated herein or if any representation made by Platinum and reflected herein is subsequently discovered to be untrue.  For purposes of this paragraph, a violation of this Settlement Agreement shall be deemed to be a violation of an order of the Commissioner.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Settlement Agreement to be executed by each of them or their duly authorized representatives on the dates hereinafter subscribed.
