I kept recieving calls from this number and 1st they said that there was a law suit against me, then I started recieving letters in the mail. Then they started calling asking for me like they knew me with out saying where they were calling from. So i called the number back just now and told them that i was willing to "pay off" a past debt through them. The representative "John Aughdman" told me that after i paid in full they would report the debt as "paid in full" on my credit report and not report it as a settlement. I then asked if i could get that in writing, and he seemed nervous. He said he could email it to me. I told him that I wanted a letter with the letterhead of the company and a signature. he got irritated and told me that i wouldn't get it in time to take advantage of the offer. I told him i wanted it anyway for my protection. He said that he would send it to my email in 10 min (it doesnt take that long to email) and that he would send the letter as well... i don't think I'll be hearing from them again.

This is a phony debt collection company. They are not accredited by the BBB nor are they legitimate. They search old collection record illegally and then try to get people to pay on already settled debts. They chose to harass me non-stop for a debt that a relative had over ten years ago. I am a California State Marshall and in the process of getting them investigated and shut down for mass fraud.
