This number (716) 332-6413 called me on October 23, 2012 at 9:44 a.m. and left the following message on my voice mail: (Note: I do not have any payday loan accounts with an increasing flow of credit cards, DDA, and bank loans as they state in their ad below.)
"This is an urgent message for [my name]. You need to contact or call back, immediately, in regards to an important decision being made against you at this time. Our number is (716) 332-6413 or you can press 1 to connect to the office now. Thank you."
I called them back just to hear the name of the company. Someone named Mark answered the phone and said, "Hello, Consumer Advocacy Group. This is Mark."

This is a rude collection agency that also calls from 866-826-5663. They are arrogant and continuoulsy threaten legal action. I blocked their number with the phone company. The posts above are correct and there is nothing they can do, so just keep reporting them.
this company called me for my husbands ex wife, who doesnt have my landline number, insisted she gave it to them, and then proceeded to want to speak with my husband, and when i told them 1) he wasnt home and 2) they can not speak to him about her business because they are divorced and 3) he filed bankruptcy so even if it was a joint account, they can not speak to him about it they need to speak with our attorney, the guy proceeded to tell me i am too insecure with myself to let my husband talk to someone about his ex. i had my attorney call them
