These statements are all too familiar. I just received the exact same call regarding the exact same scenario pertaining to a returned item from my bank back in 2002. I did however have a check from back then although it must just take these people a couple of strokes on a keyboard to access these things. The lady's name, supposedly who I had talked with was Julie Walker. It was the exact same phone number as well. I actually gave a lady my debit card number and made a payment arrangement with her although after spotting everyone's comments on this web site I called my bank and cancelled out my card. A person try's to do the right thing and pay off an old debt and it turns out to be a grip of people trying to steal from us. Right before Christmas too no less. These people are sick.
I was contacted By Portfolio Consulting Group at this number. I was told I would be served with papers and have to go to court if I didnt set up a payment plan. Stupid me did that and had them take payments out of a pre paid card. My paper work came back with a paper I had to sign for the payment arrangement I had made it was paid off on 11/29/13 never recived a letter saying it was paid after I repeatedly called and asked for one. Little did I know I was being scammed. My paper work also has a Docket number supposedly giving by the court. Is there anything I can do to get money back or report this. Can I go to Court House and see what this Docket number is for. I am out 2155.18. JUST GREAT.
