The attorney who posted on Feb. 2012 IS SO CORRECT!!! PLEASE HEED HIS ADVISE!!! I have some victims who have endured this same abuse. My advise: 1. label phone number " DO NOT ANSWER" and save yourselves from stress. 2: report to the FCC 3. report to your Attorney General's Office.
if you pull your credit reports you will notice that this company has done an inquiry on you recently. they are fishing through a pool of dead accounts and pulling your credit reports to see if you have anything they can get from you - recent car loans or home mortgages. i enjoy screwing with them - make a game out of it and see how long you can keep them on the phone and how mad you can make them - they are just crooks
I was just called this morning saying that I had an outstanding debt from 2004 which initially was in the amount of $250.00.. Due to my moving around several times and changing of my numbers I thought that this was legitimate. They told me that this was a courtesy call (mind you they called my office line) which is NOT registered anywhere! They said that it was their last attempt to get to me before my court date. They told me that they had tried to serve me twice with court summons but were unable to reach me.. They even went so far as to ask if I lived in a gated neighborhood (which I do.) And that could be a reason why I was not able to receive it. They said that if they have note that I did not receive the summons they could try to settle the debt for the initial amount which had turned into $900. I am leaving the country in a few days and they sounded so legit so I like a moron, paid with my debit card. IMMEDIATELY after paying, I googled the company and saw these posts.. I IMMEDIATELY then, called my bank and cancelled my debit card and as well disputed the charge.. They are taking care of it, and they no longer have access to my bank, but I even called the superior court to make sure that there were no summons, and of course nothing. This company is not accredited by the BBB and is [***]..
Sir, if you were a real atty, you would have given truer advice. They are a real law office, I had an old charged off account from Wachovia Bank. After my business failed because of the economy and other reasons, I lost everything. I just walked away from the bank account and at that time 8/8/2009 I owned just 2500.00.(much of it was bank charges) After my account had passed several hands it ended up with this law office. I ignored all their calls as I did with the other collection agencies unbeknownst to me they were getting my account ready to be taken to court. I appeared before a judge, he added other costs to the amount all I could do was cry and shake my head to the Judge as he explained how much I owed and how much I will be paying, I am a single mother working at a low paying job but I STILL have to make a payment each and every month. I understand that I DO owe the bank for the over draft fees, but those other charges just seem so unfair, but I still have to pay because of the judgement. Just wanted to let you all know what happened to me.
